   This was our fourth time and it never disappoints! The waitress and bus staff are attentive and helpful with recommendations and explaining the different dishes. The food is fresh, delicious, and nicely presented. The prices are good for what you are getting. The only minor complaint was that it was crowded so more noisy than we prefer and there are a lot of birthday celebrations so they play the happy birthday song over the loudspeaker often. Other than that, it is a great place to dine but make a reservation because they are crowded!!

   I've had many wonderful dining experiences at Istanbul. But yesterday was very different. Although we had a fairly late seating, we were terribly rushed. It was clear there was not going to be another dinner seating after us, yet, servers grabbed plates before we finished eating and we were asked multiple times by our server if we wanted anything else, in a manner that made us feel that we needed to get going.

   We took friends to Istambul Bay Premium to celebrate the new year. We had a 645 reservation. We arrived promptly at 645 and we're seated immediately. We were served bread (it's fantastic) and water while we reviewed the extensive menu. Our waiter was very attentive and brought our wine choice quickly. We ordered our meals, enjoyed our beet yogurt appetizer. Our meals came out fairly quickly and all were perfectly prepared and presented! We fully enjoyed our meals, ordered Turkish coffee , espresso and rice pudding..all were fantastic. Only critique is that it was a Saturday night..so the restaurant was very busy and a bit noisy..but did not disrupt our table conversation. Extensive menu, good cost to quality value, reasonable cost on wine by the bottle. Service was outstanding. I would highly recommend this restaurant..but make sure to make a reservation.
