   Receptionist was unprepared und no table was set up although a reservation was made! Waiter at the table however did an outstanding job! Were expecting more from the food considering the Michelin signs (no star though) and the location in a high class hotel. Overall not a bad experience but a bit overrated.

   A very elegant venue. We chose to experience genuine Turkish food and the staff was happy enough to assist. The atmosphere was ambient, though I would prefer the lighting to be dimmer in order to enjoy better the night view of Bosporus, without the reflection of the indoor surroundings on the wide glass panels. For two persons, without a bottle of wine, the cost was about 60-70 euros pp.

   The food was outstanding - I highly recommend the manti. The dumplings were so soft and chewy and the yogurt was so creamy. Omar was my server and he was so attentive, nice and helpful.

   Es un restaurante muy oscuro y antiguo en donde la atención intentaba cubrir lo que la cocina no daba Experiencia mediocre y estrella no merecida en mi opinión No lo recomiendo y tampoco volvería

   For a restaurant that supposedly has a Michelin star, this place had lousy service, mostly mediocre food, and terrible ambience. Despite making a reservation weeks in advance, the host didn’t recognize that we had a reservation, and seated us at a table that wasn’t set for dinner. The server was very polite, but tried to take away plates while we were still eating. The appetizers were very good, but two out of three main courses were poorly prepared and not presented in an appetizing way. The lamb chops were ordered medium rare and were medium well or well-done. The salmon was over-cooked. The vegetables on both of these plates were very basic and not plated attractively. The kitchen is open to the restaurant and VERY loud. The wait staff and manager were stripping the tables and setting up for the next morning’s breakfast while we and other guests were having dinner, despite it being only 9pm when we sat down. It felt like a bad Holiday Inn dinner, and yet was rather expensive. We won’t go back, and recommend you skip it.

   Food was as expected but not exceptional. Service was very good. View from the restaurant was a bit disappointing despite my reservation that was made many months in advance. We did not get to sit close to any window. Main reason for going to Atolye for this dinner was for the view so this did not meet our expectations.

   If you have to tell the waiter to refill your water every time it empties. If you have to tell the waiter to clear your finished plate from the table for every course. If they can't cook the steak to the doneness you ask, then how can this be a Michelin-rated restaurant?

    They have the same menu for lunch and dinner. Their staff is so clueless that they don't refill water or wine glasses when empty. They leave everything on the table even if finished. The food was completely unbalanced. Clearly no tasting by the "chef". Some dishes were overcooked as well. They charge $100+ for a bottle of wine that costs $6.99 at Trader Joe's. Go across the hallway to Nobu, and you'll have the opposite experience.
