A modern seafood restaurant in the middle of Alacati village, serving fresh seafood with a umami touch. Both the raw and cooked seafood were top-class, the menu was well constructed. We followed recommendations of our server, which were all to-the-point. I am coming back🧿

The food was good, but it wasn't fresh enough considering the price. The cocktails also seemed to have less alcohol than they're supposed to. It's wise to choose items from the menu, as we ended up paying $220 for only a paella plate (which wasn’t on the menu), making it feel overpriced

The food was good but way over priced.
The spinach salad, crudo, and kalamari plate are worth it. I would only order apps here then go somewhere else.

Tried two small oysters for 13$ each, more expensive then America. Not worth it.

They sold us on this "dry aged fish", we tried it. It's nothing special and super small portion for the price given.

4 stars for the apps. Avoid other items. There's several other fish restaraunts at affordable prices.

We had chosen a steak as the main course, but the waiter convinced us to try their dry-aged fish since seafood is their main expertise. We then chose the Lahoz (Lagos) and ended up paying 800TL for 150 gram fish with a minor sized garniture. Be aware that the prices for dry-aged fish are not listed in their menu. Considering the value for money, it is more expensive than well-known michelin star restaurants I have been to in Copenhagen. BTW the taste of the fish was not better than pan fried we could make at home. The fennel salad was delicious, which is the reason why I am giving it two stars

THE PLACE to be for the most amazing fish creations in Alaçati and probably all over turkey, the place where food turns into art. The chef came to us explaining his art and giving the best recommendations we could have hoped for and had an amazing over-the-top tasteful night. If we could give 10 stars we would!
