Amazing atmosphere. Like no other on the Bosphorus. The food was amazing but even more amazing was the service. Bekir was our host for the night and I’ve never received such great service before. He was very polite and professional. Also very accommodating. He moved our table right next to the water to offer us a better view of the Bosphorus. I can’t say enough good things about the service and atmosphere. I would recommend in a heart beat.

We were very impressed with this place! We visited for a drink and a hookah. They have a great presentation of the cocktails. The entire staff was very kind and responsive, especially Fatih, who welcomed us, seated us and paid us a lot of attention! You definitely feel well taken care of by the staff here. I recommend and we would visit again!
