I took an uber ride from the airport to this place, and it was pretty close and it what looks like a nice area. They also have a private parking lot which is monitored by a guard. The main reason why I chose to come here was because it had a water view. It was sunset by the time I came here, and it was dark when dinner came, but the experience was still cool. The place has two different sections, the café or restaurant. I dined in the restaurant and it had a nice, intimate vibe, which is great for celebrations or a date-night with huge glass windows setting the tone of the place. Not knowing any Turkish, the service staff was very patient and can make out what I was trying to communicate. The menu was on an iPad and had English translation, whew! I ordered a beef entrée and it was outstanding! It was served on a cutting board along with rice, grilled veggies, and french fries. I love how they grilled the meat and veggies, it had the right kind of char and was nicely flavored. If I make my way to Istanbul again, I would make it a point to come here during the day to dine in their outdoor patio overlooking the water.
