"A fish joint based on the meyhane tradition but with a more formal standard of service, this restaurant has an excellent reputation for its very simple output of meze and the catch-of-the-day menu."

"A selection of both cold and hot meze, and features only four main entrées. The common theme running through all of them is a blending of traditional Turkish dishes with unexpected ingredients. "
