Mürver Restaurant

To be fair food was good but service was so abysmal that it ruined our evening....first 2 starters that arrived were wrong (& when we questioned it we were quite abruptly challenged as if the mistake was ours), our first drinks arrived after our starters (45 mins after arriving), and it's the first time ever in a restaurant I've been physically thirsty during a meal due to lack of drinks service, I could go on...... To be fair to our waiter he was running around like a headless chicken with all the tables he had to cover so the blame lies with management. Either way it was a very expensive and very disappointing night as our meal was ruined. Looking around at irritated customers on adjacent tables we were far from alone in our disappointment that night.

Le Murver est bien placé, est chouette à l’intérieur avec une magnifique vue sur la côte asiatique, la carte des vins est superbe. Mais il y a un mais : le service n’a ps été à la hauteur du lieu. Les serveurs sont beaucoup trop pressés et pressants, ne laissant pas respirer. Ils nous ont forcés le service alors que nos cocktails ne sont pas finis donc le plat principal fut tiède : vraiment dommage (Translated by Google) The Murver is well located, nice inside with a magnificent view of the Asian coast, the wine list is superb. But there is one but: the service was not up to the standard of the place. The servers are much too rushed and pushy, not giving us any breathing space. They forced us to serve even though our cocktails were not finished, so the main course was lukewarm: really a shame

The food was sufficient. Perhaps the culinary concept is a bit confused—far too many ingredients, often not really connected to each other. That said, I understand that the Western idea of cuisine may differ. My dish (based on lamb) had 41 different spices, plus rice with just as many ingredients, and to "cut the fat," a yogurt and cream sauce. It was honestly far too heavy. But in my opinion, the real issue lies elsewhere. It's simply too expensive for the overall experience. The place is overcrowded, with far too many tables, very noisy, and the music is of questionable taste—it’s hard to sit and have a conversation with the person in front of you. On top of that, there’s music playing outside too. For a place that charges these prices (around 150 euros for two people in Istanbul), it just doesn’t hold up. The whole experience should feel luxurious—not just the prices. It misses the mark. The view is beautiful, and the architectural design of the space is well thought out. But the atmosphere is honestly tacky, especially considering the price point.
