i'm actually very late in posting this review but nevertheless. on our last night in istanbul we wanted to do something big and fancy. after reading several good reviews we ended up here. located on the famous istiklal street in an apartment building, it boasts of some amazing views from the terrace. unfortunately it was a cold, rainy night when we parked ourselves here so we couldn't really enjoy the view that much but i can only imagine, on a clear day what it'd be like.
this is basically a restaurant cum club. having a reservation before you walk in is highly recommended. we already had one and hence there were no issues in getting inside. being a weekend, it was jam packed with people. the food we ordered ranged from cocktails to appetizers, main courses and desserts. the service was attentive and careful and the food quality was great too.
what i had : long island iced tea, crispy duck spring rolls, smoked aubergine ravioli, thai green curry chicken & a fantastic dessert called chocolate orgasm. the service did get a tad slow owing to the fact that it was a weekend but we were in no rush.
the food arrived and after sampling everything, i had nothing to complain about. this place practically scored high marks for me in terms of every single thing. also on weekends they have dancers, dj's, live singers etc. it turns into a riot and oh boy, it is fun!
a fancy place comes with a fancy price tag too, but since everything was pleasant, i didn't mind shelling out the extra bucks.
pros : great food, great music, great views.
cons : well, zilch!
