    Great view, and a cat that steals the show

    Nice restaurant in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel overlooking the Bosphorus. The food is good, but nothing supernatural. Anya the cute black kitty cat saves the day. Service is good, prices are high.

    Very good, not quite exceptional

    Terrace tables face straight onto the water which makes the whole evening. Portions are modest for the price, but the quality is there.

    Service slipped

    Booked a window table and were seated at the back with no explanation. Food was average and the bill was anything but.

    Very poor experience

    Overpriced and underwhelming from start to finish. There are far better places along the water for the same money.

    Not worth the price

    Lovely room, but the kitchen was clearly struggling. Two of our four dishes arrived lukewarm.

    Beautiful room, steep bill

    Service was friendly and quick but the food was ordinary for this price bracket. The risotto was under seasoned and the fish was a small portion.

    Would not go back

    Booking was lost on arrival and we stood at the desk for fifteen minutes. The evening never recovered from that.

    Great view, food slightly behind it

    We liked it a lot. Bread, olives and the octopus were highlights. The bill climbs quickly once you add wine, so go in expecting that.
