Food is ok, service is very poor. I love turkish cuisine, I know how supposed to taste.

Bread is tough. Shish kebab from lamb should be soft, but here meat was very chewy :(

overall food rate is 4 from 5. I would come back, maybe, but because of such a bad service NO.

Waitress Alisa is incompetent. I used to work as a server in US before. She has to go through TRAINING. She overcharged me 7 bucks. She has to say before if she's gonna charge for any extras, she didn't! She has to ask a customer about of choice of sides, and shouldn't say like this : YOU didn't tell me anything. Instead to ask during taking the order : What side do you like to have? And she all the time forced (not tried but forced ) to order appetizer and dessert. What is this?

Owner should pay more attention to his waitstaff.

Great food. One of my friend recommended to me Istanbul I really like the design and off course the foods to be honest they have the best appetizer and the octopus and calamari salad I ever eat. Grilled Aegean Royal Dorado (Izmir cupra) was fantastic. This place is by the bay and makes you go there again and again with the waiters worm smile and services ......... Highly recommended to every one <<<< I left happy :) >>>> I am sure you will leave happy also

Simply wonderful. This is a wonderful mix of food from Turkey and the Caucasus. The atmosphere is phenomenal, the service is courteous and the food is delicious. As with many such restaurants, you are allowed to bring your own wine and there is no corking fee. The prices are reasonable. I have been here several times and everyone had enjoyed themselves. I highly recommend this restaurant.
