Öztürk Kolcuoğlu Restaurant Alanya — Restaurant in Alanya

This is a nice place with a decent view and decent food, however our experience with it left an aftertaste of being tried to be scammed.

It all started with the entrance to the place, where they offer "appetizers, which are not to be found on the menu". Conveniently they don't have prices listed and the person attending them said they are all 60-70TL. The octopus we got ended up costing us 450TL.

Then we got to the wine selection. We could not decide, and the server suggested he will let us try two different wines and we could pick. So he brought us two glasses of "French" and "local" wine. We chose local based on that. The server went back, brought a bottle, poured it into our glasses, let us drink, came back in 5 mins and said that he had mixed up the glasses for tasting and the "local" wine we chose was in fact French wine with a 3x price tag. Obviously he knew from the beginning and there was an expectation that we would let it slide.

The ambience and the views are great, so it is a pity that such business practices left us disappointed.

Also they DON'T have a kids playground, though I saw it mentioned in...

Before I start, you need to reserve a good table before you go. Now staff is super helpful but they will get angry if you order Cesar salad, they will tell you that this is kebab and fish restaurant. Not else, and the can be rude sometimes. However, we found our way and ordered a mix grill plate, steak and chicken chips plate for our 2.5 years son because they don’t have baby menu. We also choose 4 plates of appetizers. And they served fresh sesame bread with tomato salad that was so fresh and delicious. The food took 40 min to arrive. Wonderful taste for everything and every bite of it. The food is well taken care of and prepared very well. High class food and taste really amazing. The bill was 1050 lira. Bit high, but that’s the case with all restaurants these days in turkey. Would I go...

Booked a reservation as read previous reviews that advised doing this. Offered appetizers from a cabinet before sitting down before looking at the menu which seemed odd. We were brought over bottled water upon sitting down which was not requested but was put on the bill at the end. We were then brought over bread and tomatoes, which again were not requested, but we're not charged on the bill. The food is very nice, the view is stunning however it felt rushed and had to move tables to make way for a bigger table. The waiter did apologise several times but put a bit of a downer...
