    Taksim was incredible! Turks are some of the most hospitable people you will ever meet. The service was wonderful and we felt so taken care of. It was our anniversary and they gave us complementary Prosecco! We got the tasting menu which is extremely fairly priced. Every single thing was amazing. Favorites were the ezme crunch, blackened cauliflower, crispy shrimp, mantı, and the branzino- so fresh and perfectly crispy skin. Afiyet olsun!

    Always excellent service and food! This hotel is a great place to stay, but the restaurant is also a neighborhood gem! The longtime staff are professional and friendly, and the restaurant shares a kitchen with the excellent Luce, meaning you’re likely to get a great meal! Reliably great place to spend your time, funds and calorie buget🤪
