if you're a foreigner, stay away!
if you're a nouveau-riche istanbulite, you'll probably enjoy this place. but if you're a tourist or an expat, do not expect any hospitality or service. the food is average at sunset, the view is nice (that is if you get the right table), but what is horrible is the service. we made a reservation more than two weeks before we went there on february 12, 2016 with a friend who was visiting from toronto. when we booked our table, we asked and were promised a table with a nice view (in the section where the sushi bar is located). when we arrived, however, we were given a table in the nearly empty front section of the restaurant with a blocked view. we naturally asked to be moved to the section with the sushi bar, where there were several empty tables, but were told they were booked for "others" (read them are turkish friends). after a long wait and a lot of back and forth, we were offered a table right next to the entrance of the main room. while we were hesitating whether we should take it or not, they gave it to another group. in the meantime to, they also gave away our original table. throughout this saga, the manager is never apologized for their mistake, nor did he offer us a complimentary drink. instead, he treated us with disdain and was outright rude. we finally left, frustrated, disappointed and hungry. the moral of the story: if you're a foreigner do not expect hospitality and etiquette at sunset.
