    Always a good experience there. This time we tried fish restaurant. good selection. İ looked for their parking lot and hard time founding it. They have a huge place. Parking lot is a bit hidden. i was late. Finally i found the front door but it wasn't where the parking lot is. İ had no more patient , parked the car in front of the door and even left the windows open. İ was about to lose it. İ saw the young vale kid. İ told him where my car is, he took care of the rest with no complain. Sweet kid and good staff.

    Staff are super helpful and proud of their dishes. The vegetable dishes are shown from a board and all are very good. Fresh grilled meats and fish are excellent. The vegetable dishes alone are perfect for the non meat eaters.

    The food and the service are extremely good. We were 7 people, ate almost everything and the check was barely $150! Extremely reasonable prices and excellent food. If you don't like the food they change it without a fuss. This is the place to have an elegant and reasonable dinner. Loved it!

    I want to rate this place a 2 1/2 but it’s impossible but the chicken I had was good. The only problem was with the tequila orange cocktail. I had to ask for it to be made again but it came back the same

    The first night I had dinner on the kebab side of the restaurant, it was fantastic, good service and the mixed grill I had was so good. The atmosphere and service was so good it was 1am before knew it. The second I decided to go to the sea food part of the restaurant, but unfortunately this was not a good choice. If you get an opportunity to have dinner here I strongly recommend going to the kebab side.

    Gayet Nezih ve guzel bir mekan ancak bahçesinde mazgaldan gelen koku malesef rahatsiz edici umarim biran önce cozum bulunur tabi bahcede değilde iceride oturursaniz sorun yok 😊

  • 5/5 Hakan E. 2 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Quality and taste go hand in hand. Fish, appetizers, salads, desserts, all very good. There is usually halva on top of fish, but I can't help but recommend the fig dessert. (Original) Kalite, lezzet bir arada. Balık çeşitleri meze ve salatalar tatlılar hepsi gayet güzel. Balık üstüne genelde helva olur ama incir tatlısınıda önermeden geçemem.

  • 2/5 Gabriel B. 2 years ago on Google • 1 review
    I was two times in the restaurant in my one week vacation in Izmir. Every time the food and service were very good. But the check was much higher than the menu prices. First time I didn't check it but second time I asked for the menu when they brought the check. I checked only some of the items and the prices from the invoice were 50% higher than on the menu. They said there is an old menu but they accepted all the differences. Finally I paid 330 TL instead of 440 TL. It's not fair. Pay attention!

👍👍 Kokorec - Enjoy a local meat delicacy at this wonderful locale. People throng here to have it. Known locally as kokorec and is small hand cut pieces of yummy meat sprinkled with local spices and pepper offered on a loaf of bread. Inexpensive at TL22 apiece, surely will fill you up. Heads up!! Later...

👍👍 Nicest place for breakfast or branch. It’s not overcrowded in here, it’s nice to seat outside with a lovely view on Balçova and the sea. The staff is super friendly, I’ve even got this adorable little bouquet for International Women Day❤️
