Sarayburnu Aile Çay bahçesi — Restaurant in Fatih

Last Friday I visited Sarayburnu Aile çay bahçesi with my friend and his 2 yrs old son, and unfortunately, my experience was far from satisfactory. From the outset, the staff was unwelcoming. Despite requesting a table for three with a sea view, we were told the restaurant was full. With a TWO-year-old CHILD in tow and no ESTIMATED wait time provided, we requested a table for two, hoping to manage. However, the restaurant had this PATHETIC policy against table changes, even if the initial seating wasn't comfortable and I've literally seen this kinda policy first time in any restaurant.

The tables and chairs were cramped, leading to our child's restlessness, which the waiters seemed to disapprove of. My friend was literally standing just because his CHILD was siting on his chair and they were not helping to change the table or to provide extra chair to us . Despite two adjacent tables becoming available, our request to move was denied. Initially we ordered Orange Juice , Oreo Shake and French Fries and I must say the food was really bad . The oreo shake was just like drinking milk and water with just a hint of Oreo . Orange juice wan't fresh and was ver bitter also the fries was very bad and dry . One waiter's behavior who was serving us was particularly appalling, staring at us again and again as if urging us to leave. But still after a while When I ordered tea, his reaction was visibly negative.Also we tried to complain to the lobby manager in a suit but he also and didn't help up and was justfying his waiter attitude and asked us to leave the restaurant in a very stern tone.

The situation escalated when I inquired about the issue from him , and he insisted that we should have wait outside if we were 3 in a very bad way, disregarding our child. Ultimately, I requested the bill, which was provided without the tea I had ordered. Overall, the service was poor, and the staff's attitude was unacceptable, making for a highly unpleasant dining experience . The food and drinks also were pathetic . Basically they are just LOOTING money from everyone and they just have a good sea view except that I didn't find anything exceptional in their restaurant . I WON'T RECOMMEND ANYONE TO VISIT THIS RESTAURANT AS WE HAD A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE THERE.THEY DON'T EVEN ACCEPT CHILD'S AND THEY DON'T EVEN GIVE ANY KIND OF FAVOR...

Dystopian Dining, where culinary dreams go to die and optimism is served on a plate – charred and cold. Nestled in the heart of a scenic nightmare, this restaurant offers views so magnificent that you almost forget you're paying to be miserable. Almost.

First, let's talk about the parking lot, a Kafkaesque labyrinth designed by someone who clearly moonlights as a sadist. Survive this automotive Hunger Games, and you're greeted by the entrance, where your naive hopes are methodically dismantled.

The seating arrangement is a masterclass in forced intimacy. Tables are so close that you might as well be dining in your neighbor's lap. Enjoy a side of awkward first-date dialogue or a hearty helping of divorce deliberations with your meal. It's like reality TV, but without the option to change the channel.

And the service! Imagine Robinson Crusoe, but instead of a deserted island, it's a busy restaurant, and instead of coconuts, you have menus that may as well be written in hieroglyphics. Our waiter, a master of the vanishing act, left us contemplating our existence for a solid 15 minutes. When he finally materialized, his demeanor screamed, "I've seen things, man," adding a unique touch of nihilism to the ambiance. It's rare to witness such raw, unfiltered existential dread in the service industry.

Now, the food. If you’ve ever wondered what mediocrity tastes like, wonder no more. The dishes are edible, in the same way that cardboard is technically edible. It’s as if the kitchen staff are robots from a dystopian future, programmed with just enough skill to avoid a lawsuit but not enough to evoke any semblance of joy.

In conclusion, if you're yearning for an experience that pairs stunning views with the sensation of being trapped in a dystopian novel, Dystopian Dining is your destination. Bring your patience, your dark sense of humor, and maybe a flask of something strong –...

I visited on 26th of August with my family hoping to get great food and atmosphere & time with them unfortunately things didn't go in my way ) when I tried to get a table for 3 in garden which is located right next to the marmar sea, I had rough time finding the table because of lack of linguistic skills and communication, we had to wait for a while right in front of the guests which pushed them to leave immediately, as we sat we expected a waiter to inform us about the menu which was actually placed as a QR code on the box item once we figured out what we wanted to order, wiater who was assigned to look after us was nowhere to be seen who was skinny but tall and brown with a mustache and beard and skinny guy since we waited 15 minutes for the waiter to come . I had no choice but stand up and bring the waiter to the table who had a white skin and fresh haircut he told us food will be served within 10 minutes which came after 22 minutes. Finally food served thinking 🤔 what could go wrong right ? But guess what, most umbrella bases were scraped and shouldn't be used anymore but they still used and that umberalla fell down and damaged some guest's head and that guest's head was bleeding way too much and things escalated even some guests left the restaurant without paying the bills and they told all the guest to come inside of the restaurant, waiters were not trained well enough for such events and entrance was closed and the waiter brought the check before we even asked and when we ordered for soft drinks, they were like yeah but those orders never arrived , beautiful lunch became a piece of junk ) great views but not...
