The place is luxurious, serves good hookah and great western food, the place is a bit expensive, but you pay extra to enjoy the view of the Bosphorus and three bridges opposite you (Metro Bridge, Eminonu Bridge, Bosphorus Bridge) The view at night is awesome! And in the morning indescribable! I highly recommend the place!
