If You’re a Foreigner, Stay Away! If you’re a nouveau-riche Istanbulite, you’ll probably enjoy this place. But if you’re a tourist or an expat, do not expect any hospitality or service. The food is average at sunset, the view is nice(that is if you get the right table), but what is horrible is the service. We made a reservation more than two weeks before we went there on February 12, 2016 with a friend who was visiting from Toronto. When we booked our table, we asked and were promised a table with a nice view(in the section where the sushi bar is located). When we arrived, however, we were given a table in the nearly empty front section of the restaurant with a blocked view. We naturally asked to be moved to the section with the sushi bar, where there were several empty tables, but were told they were booked for«others»(read them are Turkish friends). After a long wait and a lot of back and forth, we were Offered a table right next to the entrance of the main room. While we were hesitating Whether we should take it or not, they gave it to another group. In the meantime to, they also gave away our original table. Throughout this saga, the manager is never apologized for their mistake, nor did he offer us a complimentary drink. Instead, he treated us with disdain and was outright rude. We finally left, frustrated, disappointed and hungry. The moral of the story: if you’re a foreigner do not expect hospitality and etiquette at Sunset.

Eigentlich ein Top-Laden in dem des gutes Essen gibt. Wir waren diesmal nur an der Bar, die an die türkische Nachtclub(Pavyon) Tradition anknüpft und einen Mindestverzehr fordert, sonst gibt es keinen Einlaß! Dann wird man permanent gedrängt zu trinken, plötzlich stehen Getränke auf der Rechnung die nicht bestellt und getrunken wurden. Dachte dass es sowas schäbiges nicht mehr gibt. Vermeiden Sie diesen Schuppen, es gibt bessere und günstigere. Am gleichen Hang liegt das Ulus 29, das war bei meinem letzten Besuch deutlich fairer.

Terrible service tonight!!! Ordered an app and 20 min later they informed me it was not available. Can’t understand why it took 20 minutes to inform us of the issue. It was very disappointing they never made up for it the rest of the night. The atmosphere is very good but when the service sucks there is no excuse.

Sunset Restaurant is one of the most spectacular Restaurants in Istanbul by far! Chosen by many globetrotters and famous international people as THE Restaurant to visit. To begin with, the view is grand especially on a summer night, reaching from one bridge to the other, stretching out over a hill overlooking the Bosphorus. It is a fancy restaurant and therefore also pricy, but if you want to spoil yourself: this is the place to do it! When you have dinner here, you will feel VIP, because the staff is very friendly and attentive which makes you feel very happy. Its bar is very good as well with many famous local DJ’s playing music. It is especially very romantic during full-moon, with the moonlight shining down. The food is amazing, including its normal Menu and the Sushi Menu as well. Some of the world’s greatest Sushi Chefs have been hosted at the Restaurant to display their expertise. The menu also displays a large array of world class wines! Most of the staff also speaks English and is very very attentive, which means that you never wait too long for your food to arrive or for someone to be around when you want something… This is a VERY big bonus, as in such large Restaurants usually sometimes you may drown in the mass if the waiters are not a) a lot and b) pay attention. Bingo! There is a reason the Restaurant has hosted many celebrities from Jennifer Lopez to Paris Hilton and many many more…

An incredible place! The view is absolutely stunning and we couldn’t stop staring at it during our dinner. Sunset is a really upscale(slightly overpriced) restaurant in Turkey with a great vibe. The music was relaxing and the restaurant even had heat lamps for the slightly breezy weather. The food was perfect – my appetizer of pan sauteed scallops with pesto and balsamic sauce were delicious and the asparagus that came with them was quite possibly the best I’ve had. The Red Snapper I had for an entrée was also great. We couldn’t stop talking about the beautiful view and romantic vibe – I would love to come back here next time I’m in Istanbul!

Alleine für den Blick lohnt es sich! Das Essen ist auch gut, aber keine Offenbarung. Viel interessanter ist es, die Gäste zu beobachten, die sich überwiegend in Schale geworfen haben. Insbesondere die Damen zeigen was sie haben, und teilweise sieht das aus wie aus der Garderobe von Beyonce ausgeliehen, so glamourös ist das.

The service and views are amazing at Sunset Grill and Bar! This is the perfect restaurant for a first night dinner in Istanbul as it sets a wonderful tone for your trip. While the restaurant is an Asian and Turkish restaurant we were in the mood for Turkish and therefore avoided the Asian menu items. We sipped rose all evening and split 2 appetizers, the grilled octopus and the vegetarian mezze platter. In addition we split a delicious goat cheese, walnut, beets, and pomegranate dressing. For our main course we split lamb over eggplant purée which was DELICIOUS! I highly recommend this restaurant to everyone!
