"The food here is excellent as well as the service. Our server helped recommend a perfect wine pairing and everything was excellent. Out of everything I’ve eaten on this trip this meal has been my favorite. They offer you a selection for a complimentary drink after you meal which was an excellent touch as I personally don’t care for raki, and was able to enjoy lemon cello instead."

"honestly, food was purely amazing. no overthinking, just really well made.
i had the sea bass fillet — skin crispy, spiced, fish soft and fluffy and kinda sweet. underneath was this smooth purée, a bit sweet, salty, herby… just worked.
My gf took the Australian rib-eye — juicy, full of flavor, cooked perfectly.
both dishes felt simple but done right. nothing fancy for the sake of it, but tastes like it. Great food that makes you shut up and eat."
