    This is one of the more overpriced and overrated burger joints in the city. The ambiance was nice…read more We ordered ShackMeister Burgers and Fries with Cheddar cheese. Burgers were small but tasty, a bit fatty for our taste. The burger bread tasted like fabricated (like Uno bread) instead of hand-made, which was unexpected for us. As for the fries, they were OKish, cheddar on top completely dominated the taste. Overall, the burgers were small and unsatisfying. We were expecting a different experience. If you are in the city, you can try other joints like Virginia Angus or Komsu Burger. Much better taste with similar price tag.

    This place has one of the best burgers I've ever eaten so far. The quality of service is good and…read morethey have fast delivery. They have this buzzer machine which vibrates showing that your order is ready to pick up. So, it's a convenient method. The prices are reasonable due to the high quality of meat, bread and the brand itself for sure. :)) It's a bit pricey but the taste is amazing that you'll never forget. I always like to order Shake Burger and regular french fries. I generally eat double Shack which is obviously much bigger in size and meat and cheese as well. So, you guys should give this place a chance for sure. Just go there and choose any burger of your preferance and you won't regret it, believe me. That's just my opinion of course but most people like the taste and the burgers totally worth it, I mean it. :)

Their cheese roll appetizer with beer was an excellent way to start followed by an arugula salad and then their combination player. Great beer, wine and cocktail menu along with local desserts. Can't wait to see the sights. Buon Appetito

We stopped in for a drink after our Bosphorus cruise and decided to have a light dinner of the Meze Plate for 2 (16TL = $8) since we're easily influenced by marketing (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/red-river-pub-istanbul-2?select=9LJA-ME__LvOrP2lWsXd1A#QBaq2oHpSKzfnfnMqaZglA) They start you off with some sunflower seed crusted bread which was moist and sweet like it had some honey in it (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/red-river-pub-istanbul-2?select=9LJA-ME__LvOrP2lWsXd1A#3dTCHrqg3Y3KJN7HaOs-sA) Not your typical meze plate with beans, marinated mushroom, and okra along with the more common eggplant, dolmas, and cacik (Turkish version of tzatziki) http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/red-river-pub-istanbul-2?select=9LJA-ME__LvOrP2lWsXd1A#44HGuno0PDqukMu219YO8w Everything popped with flavor including the dolmas which I typically find to be pretty bland. These had pinenuts and other herbs in the rice filling (http://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/red-river-pub-istanbul-2?select=9LJA-ME__LvOrP2lWsXd1A#JMUm870hJCl2vBzrz_v9lA) Decent prices for beer (8 TL for 50cl draft ) Very friendly staff. Even offered to burn a CD of the music playing.

As they say, you pay for what you get, and in this case they went overboard making sure we and everyone around us were getting what we paid for. The food was excellent, and his recommendation of the gold tomahawk was a one-of-a-kind experience. Can't wait till they open the one in Mexico City very soon.

The three stars I attribute to this restaurant solely derive from that. The service was great -- the waiters leaned into the dramatics of cooking, cutting, and presenting the food. While there's both indoor and outdoor seating, for a fancier dining experience, the interior is better. The two stars I deduct come down to the quality and price point of what we ordered. As I mentioned prior, the visual appeal of our orders were certainly there. However, the quality was not. Considering the hype and high-end feel to this steakhouse, the food seemed to taste in strike contrast. As we were at a steakhouse, I of course had to go for the steak and was unfortunately disappointed. The meat sushi was okay. And while the performance of cutting and presenting the baklava was nice, the taste itself was not anything special in comparison to other baklava serving spots readily available throughout the city. Considering such, we were paying what I felt was a disproportionate amount to the quality we consumed. It seems that the price point of the dishes here reflect more of the experience tied to salt bae and the dramatics than the actual quality of the food. And that's okay! I honestly expected that, but hoped for more. But at the end of the night, we were certainly not upset but glad we could experience this the one time we did. If you're looking for a memorable experience, this is your spot. If you're purely looking for a quality steakhouse...look elsewhere!
