Giritli
Giritli Review
A prix-fixe only menu of Cretan specialties includes a generous multicourse meal and unlimited local alcoholic drinks (wine or raki). The food is outstanding, with an enormous selection of delicious mezes like sea bass ceviche, herb-covered cubes of feta cheese with walnuts and green onion, and perfectly grilled calamari, followed by freshly caught fish. The restaurant garden, with its whitewashed walls and blue trim, feels like a slice of the Greek islands in the middle of Istanbul.

We enjoyed Girtli but the Fodor's review is a bit too effusive. The mezes are good but not as well presented or prepared as other places. The fish is perfectly acceptable. Service is average but this place is a real bargain.
