I had dinner with a Turkish colleague. I ate a very good Turbo fish, very well cooked. But what I liked the most were the appetizers. There was a big variety of them with many different tastes (ask for the grilled calamar, very special). I also enjoyed different types of traditional desserts, with an amande liquor (I don&#39;t remember the name of it). The service was high class, as usual here in Turkey. Conclusion: the price is higher than Turkish standard (I have spent 55-60 euro each person), but well compensate with quality of food and service. I will remember this restaurant for next time in Istanbul.

A local Turkish friend took us here tonight. We had our choice of ala carte menu, or the sampler for 60 TL each. We chose the latter. I think we must have had everything on the menu, and maybe then some! More food than we could possibly eat, but everything (except maybe the liver, which we don&#39;t like in the US either...) was over-the-top fabulous. After sampling some 15 dishes, they brought out the kebab. Nothing like the shish-kebob in the States that I was expecting. The kebab is actually a lamb meat base on which other meats and veggies are laid out. That could have easily been a meal by itself. Followed by 10 dishes of fruits and flans. I am pretty sure I will not eat again until at least tomorrow night... But well worth it in every way.

From the appearance of the restaurant, I think this is a very ordinary place, in addition to the cost-effective, there are no other advantages, the attitude of the work waiter is also very ordinary, you can refer to.

Calipso Fish, it is an old store with a history of nearly 30 years, the business has been very good, attracting food friends from all over the world to come to punch in, their cooking skills are still quite level.

Couple of nights ago we have had a dinner with family. We did nit have enough time to spend a relaxed time. When we mentioned to our host waiter he placed us at a convenient table. Service was fast enough relative to our time span and was not rushed us. Salads were the best among few appetizers and fish itself. Appetizers were tasty and good but fish we had was mediocre. I am not sure whether it was because of our limited tome or not but sea bass grilled dish was better than stewed. Barbun was also good and tasty. In summary it was a pleasant experience for us we spent nice time. Food was good quality but not excellent, atmosphere was nice and good, waiters were nice and efficient, price is mid range for an Istanbul fish restaurant at that location.
