we attached at lunch time, restaurant was totally empty, we get very small table for 2, i kindly asked waiter to get some cheat or something for bag, bc was not comfortable to put it in cheat and almost sit on it. he left arrived and start to propose the sparkling water, i asked again about possibility to be comfortable and put bags somewhere near me (and we speaking about 2 small bags). he said: “if i want.. i can take chair from another table by myself and bring it back if guests will arrive” 1. restaurant is empty - one couple was sitting taking table for 4 people, eat was a problem to suggest the same?? 2. if h proposed extra chair, definitely not a guest should bring it! it’s not a cafe, it’s supposed to be a restaurant not recommended at all

Celebrated a birthday)) An atmospheric, luxurious restaurant overlooking the Bosphorus! I liked everything!!!! We ordered sets, delight! The staff is well-trained, the kitchen is open, very stylish)) The unusual combination of products highlights the high level of accessibility of the establishment. Congratulations in an unusual format, a combination of different types of desserts! I definitely recommend it and I'll be happy to come back!

Nice price tag, located not too far from the center. Many of the staff know Russian. The food is delicious, and the most important thing is not to beat the price. The choice is large, the atmosphere is there.

We decided to celebrate the New Year in this institution. I've been trying to figure out how to book a table for several days. As a result, I found on Instagram that I could call them, but I didn't have a Turkish SIM card or a good command of the language, so I tried to do it as remotely as possible with a translator in my hands. Arriving at the restaurant, it turned out that there was no reservation. Although a confirmation has arrived in the mail. As a result, the hostess spoke English very quickly. I asked you to speak more slowly, but I still missed important information that I will tell you about later. We were not offered to hang up our jackets. The whole hall was decorated with balloons for the New Year. The atmosphere is festive, but the music is too loud. We waited for the waiter for 40 minutes, but during that time we were able to study the menu completely. Prices are MUCH higher than average. There are no familiar Japanese dishes here, as in Russia. We ordered 1 main course, 1 course for two (sashimi), 2 non-alcoholic cocktails, 1 dessert for two from the chef. All this time I was adding up the amount in my head - it came out to 4,455 Turkish lira (in rubles about 14,000). I thought it was New Year's Eve and I could afford it. After 00:00, he asked for the bill. But there was already an amount of 14.300 Turkish lira. It turns out that the waiter warned us at the very beginning that there should be an order for at least 6,500 Turkish lira (approximately 19,000 rubles) per person. There's nothing to order even for two at that price... only if you like alcohol. As a result, we had a very long showdown with the waiters, hostesses, entertainers and other people, since by Russian standards we ate 40,000 rubles worth of sushi and without alcohol. Of course, I reassured myself that it was the New Year and a Michelin-starred restaurant, but their sushi was completely different. They taste more like flowers and greenery, but you hardly feel the fish. The desserts were a bomb, but also very expensive. In general, I do not recommend this place for a festive evening. There are other places where both the service and the price will meet your expectations, and you can also sit beautifully.

The place is magnificent, the embankment has a view of the evening Bosphorus and the city. The staff is great, just for the vibe here... I didn't like the food - the ramen is tiny, the rolls are a total author's failure. I liked the Asian dumplings and kebabs. I repeat, it's great to chill, drink cocktails, scratch your eyes. Not for food.

The place may be good, but for some reason the hostess at the entrance lied to us about the fact that they don't have coffee, but only wine and alcoholic cocktails (I don't drink alcohol). They only brought us a bar menu, where there were several non-alcoholic cocktails, and then they started bringing coffee and desserts to the next table. What is it, translation difficulties???!!!

The atmosphere is beautiful. That's where the advantages end. The most tasteless rolls I've eaten in my life. Loud music, and they serve themselves like a Japanese restaurant. We planned to sit quietly and have a good time. In addition to the disgusting cuisine, the waiters take a long time to come and the choice of dishes is not great.

It's a wonderful place! Excellent cuisine that does not contain local flavor. If you are tired of the Turkish specifics or just want to diversify your pastime, then you are definitely here. And the atmosphere will allow you to relax and unwind.

It was a terrible experience, we were received very rudely, I don't recommend you to go, the service is very bad, the staff are very rude, the people at the door with rude brevity, they want you to choose food from the standing menu, and if you want to sit down, they refuse

This is a masterpiece, I was flattered by the tag with a good view, the menu did not open according to the QR code, the waiter did not say the prices (as it turned out later this rule), the order for three without alcohol - and the bill for 650 dollars (with an average PO in Turkey 500 per month) the police were called, the police asked to pay 50% and on At the same time, they didn't spoil the mood, they took it as a good adventure.
