I went there with family for dinner on my birthday. The place is elegant, very warm, staff is nice, food is delicious, there was live music on saturday evening and they were really very good. Scenery is very nice as well. It is an ideal place for special occasions and romantic candle-lit dinners.

Even though the atmosphere is one of the nicest in Izmir, unfortunately I can not say that for their foods. They are at just average taste and overpriced for such quality.

Other reviewers are right that this restaurant has a very nice ambiance and setting, and that the continental fare can be a welcome break from Turkish food.

Found good reviews and decided to check this place out for a break from Turkish food. Delish! First of all, it was packed with locals so you know the food will be good.

A good place to stay far away from sea side confusion. Nice location, quiet, and good quality price ratio. France style, good service at the table, mainly fish specialities.

We found this restaurant thru trip advisor and had given up walking in circles to find it (on alley) next to french cultural center) when we tripped upon it and had a really wonderful meal. Grat food and lovely venue- central once you know where it is but off beaten tourist track.

In fact it is brilliant!!! All, service, food and environment are brilliant. One of the most valuable restaurants that I can recommend in Izmir and in a walking distance...
