Great customer service and magnificent view. My waiter was very attentive and on top of everything :)

I really enjoyed the grilled halloumi cheese (5/5). I finished the whole thing! (I usually can’t finish my orders). I also got some lamb chops with a side of rice but the smell of the rice was was a bit strange to me. The lamb tasted amazing but because of the rice I’m giving it this review. Maybe I’m just not used to it, but this is definitely a restaurant that’s worth a visit.

I would come again because of the service.

I came to this restaurant after reading the reviews. But I really question it… IMO, it was not reflective at all.

One star for the service
One star for the view but ruined by the seagulls hovering by the ledge. (We later saw that the service staff swiped the leftovers onto the ledge to feed the seagulls. Which explains… )

However, the food was a huge let down. It was unfortunately our worst meal. We also waited very long (45 mins) even when the restaurant was quite empty.
The experience was saved by the service staff who was very friendly and kind.

Great food and great views! Our Server Şakir payed a lot of attention to our needs. Overall this place is a nice alternative to high-end terrace restaurants. Have in mind though that it is still quite expensive: 300-600TL for a main course.
