Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We went two times, one in the evening, one for lunch. The food was excellent, the service had a minor flaw, because I had to insist three times for a capuccino. The atmosphere in the evening was great, they had a live singer.

Unfortunately this restaurant didn’t hit the spot for us! The views are amazing but the food was tasteless….iWe had a pasta which was so bland and the pizza was like a frozen pizza out of the box…for the prices they charge I would be embarrassed...serving these meals! A bottle of house wine was $100 as well…so the night cost us $170(AUS) and we walked away very disappointed and wasted our money!More

Beautiful view from this rooftop restaurant. The service was good. The food was average and expensive, but you are paying for the view. This was the only restaurant that had a 10% tax added on. Many restaurants add a service charge, which would be a...gratuity, and we would tip accordingly, but this was listed as a tax, which would make you think it isn't going to the servers. Would give it a 3 1/2 stars if that was an option.More

I spent several hours here after visiting the hammam downstairs. Great food, drinks and experience. Beautiful rooftop with amazing view of the Blue Mosque. Very friendly staff who gave me the most memorable opportunity to feed the seagulls from the rooftop ☺️

Stopped here about 4pm for a late lunch, despite initially making an online reservation for 8pm. We both chose pizza, which was just what we needed after a long morning flying into Istanbul and trekking around the local mosques. The views across the sea and...historic old town are an ideal introduction to the city. The food was great and the cocktails were equally impressive. My favourite part, however, were the staff. Particularly Osman who entertained us by feeding the seagulls and who also showed us upto the roof for breathtaking 360 degree panoramas. All in all it was a little pricey, but very enjoyable thanks to the great atmosphere.More

Beautiful restaurant with great Italian food and amazing views. As it's in a hotel, we thought it might be overpriced but it was very good value. Not cheap, but excellent food, great service, and a lovely ambience. Excellent Italian food. I had the mushroom pizza,...my partner had the ravioli, which he said was the best ravioli he'd ever had. The views are incredible, and there's a small terrace where you can dine outside - I expect you need to book to reserve a table there, but the views were amazing inside, too. Excellent wine, too.More

My husband and I came on a trip to Istanbul and looked for a restaurant with a great rooftop view. We came across GRACE and decided to give it a shot. The food was incredible, and the views were amazing! You can see the Blue...Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Bosphorus all from the rooftop. The staff was very friendly and kind. Our server’s name was Kamir, and he was great! He even let us feed the birds from the rooftop. This restaurant was so good that we ate their twice! I never really leave reviews for places, but this was just such a great experience!More
