First meal upon arriving to Istanbul. Very trendy, aesthetic restaurant. Designed to look like an…read moreoutdoor patio but is covered (might be able to open up though). Known for their grilled meats, which you can see cooking over the grill through a window peering into the kitchen. Arrived as party of 6 with reservations ahead of time. Local Turkish friends ordered for us so I don't know the exact price point of everything but it's definitely a bit more on the pricier side due to being in a nice neighborhood and its aesthetic. Ordered bottles of wine and a couple people ordered cocktails, which I saw were about $20 USD. Started with mezze, which is brought out to you on a tray. You can select which ones you want. Tzatziki was very fresh and a nice way to balance richer flavors of other dishes like the meat. "Turkish pizza" is a must and comes on a very thin dough that's covered in meat and herbs that you roll up. Kebabs are a necessity and feature a smokey deep flavor due to being cooked over open flame. Cool, hip restaurant that's fun for a "fancier" night out with friends.

The fried mussels tasted more like fried than mussels, but the tomato-cucumber salad was fresh and good. We had the bonito and fluke-kebabs, which were both decent, especially with some lemon juice on them, but it would have been nice to have some sauce or yogurt to go with them. Service was quick and professional.

Unfortunately several of the items we wanted were not available, but we selected several dishes and they were all excellent. Definitely order the "midye tava," which are deep fried mussels. I'm not usually a fan of mussels, but these were perfect--tender, with a light and flaky batter. We also got a kebab of fluke and peppers. The fluke was moist and tender--and the nice thing is that it was a fillet--no picking bones out of the fish. We also tried the pickled tuna (delicious) and their eggplant salad--which was not our favorite (it could have used a bit more seasoning or more of a roasted flavor), but it was fresh and delicious. Other patrons got enormous platters of fried fish which also looked good. I think it's hard to go wrong here.

It was really difficult eat all. Price actually normal for this porsion. But it should be smaller size with less price. Environment is beautiful. It has very big garden with a lot of tree. You feel like you are in picnic in forest. Service is good. But you should wait a bit to preparation of kebab. Taste is really nice.
