TERAS STEAKHOUSE — Restaurant in Fethiye

Went for dinner with my wife & daughter, having read the reviews we had high hopes this would be a great meal. Initial impressions were good, there has obviously been some investment in this enterprise, with a nice ambience (save for the main road) and a huge array of meat displayed in dry aging cabinets.

Staff were a little too pushy for our liking, we know what we want and don't need to go through what's special or recommended in that much detail. We ordered lobster tail and octopus to share as a starter, both were good, no complaints there. Ordering the main courses was painful, I've never experienced restaurant staff anywhere in the world ever, ever refuse to swap sides included in a main course for something else. In fact most good restaurants either leave you to order your own sides, sometimes 2 are included in the price of the dish.

My daughter has a mushroom allergy, wanted to swap the garlic mushrooms for something else, a reasonable request you might think? Not here, only relented when told of her allergy which I found extremely poor.

Next up was my wife, who doesn't like blue cheese, but wasn't allowed to substitute the roquefort smashed potatoes with the seabass for normal potatoes or fries "I've let her swap (said the waiter rudely looking at my daughter), if I let you swap as well (looking at my wife) I'd have to let everyone do it"........ We'll I'm not sure I see what his issue or point is/was, and have never experienced such a silly obstinate attitude in any restaurant I've ever frequented before, anywhere in the world. This was a first for us.

At this point my gut instinct was to get up and go but we were hungry and had come here specially, and there is not alot else around it, so we carried on.

My order was a bone-in ribeye sold by the 100g, told that this was a minimum 500g, was that enough for me etc, etc

Food came, the wife's roquefort smashed potatoes were left, the seabass was lovely. My daughters fillet steak was excellent, as ordered.

Sadly my bone-in ribeye turned out to be a poor t-bone, nowhere near 500g. I know the weight of meat reduces when cooked, but I know what a 500g bone-in steak looks like, as we regularly visit Moretons, Hawksmoor, Goodman, Char etc etc

The overall service was lacking, even though the restaurant wasn't particularly busy (about half full), getting the attention of somebody to order another drink was hard work, and not once were we asked if the food was OK.

Fed up and wanting to go, I asked a junior waiter for the bill. The manager/head waiter sprang over to ask if everything was OK, and didn't like the reply of it was "just OK......."

What followed was another contemptuous display of both insisting I had ordered t-bone rather than a ribeye, and eventually saying I had been charged for the t-bone anyway, therefore implying I had nothing to complain about.

Not sure how this restaurant gets such high reviews, in our view it flatters to deceive and is more style...

We had a delightful and satisfying lunch at this place, so we decided to return for dinner. Here's what we experienced: The ambiance had a distinct steakhouse feel with soft, pleasant candlelight. The service was impeccable and the staff incredibly friendly. They boasted an impressive selection of wines, and the knowledgeable attendant was ready to offer recommendations and assistance.

Now, let's discuss the meal itself. If you happen to be staying in Oludeniz or Fethye, I highly recommend paying a visit to this establishment. We had the opportunity to chat with the owner, and it was a heartwarming and passionate conversation about meat and the restaurant. The variety of meat options available was outstanding, with cuts that were properly aged for 40 days. Each cut was thick and flavorful, as it should be. They even allow you to choose your own steak at the meat counter, with guidance from the butcher. Personally, I opted for a bone-in ribeye weighing 900 grams, while my girlfriend selected a 600-gram T-bone. Being a meat lover, I can attest that when it's aged and cooked to perfection, I truly adore it.

The meat was cooked to our specifications, and it was a delight to find the fat melting in our mouths, just as we had hoped. The steaks had a remarkable char, imparting a subtle smoky and charcoal-like aftertaste, reminiscent of Argentine grill style. As accompaniments, we had mashed potatoes and gravy, which were nothing short of extraordinary—smooth, creamy, and a true delight. Additionally, we enjoyed some vegetables and a fresh and crispy avocado salad as a starter.

I can confidently say that the quality of the meat, the attentive service, and the overall experience were outstanding. In terms of pricing, I believe it was fair and reasonable for the exceptional meal we had, taking into account my travels around the world and the fact that the location attracts many British travelers. It's undoubtedly a wonderful dining experience. If you find yourself in the area, I urge you to pay a visit and thank me later. Oh, and I almost forgot to mention, do try the peppercorn sauce with your...

We had dinner in this restaurant with a company of 4 people. Everything I ordered from the menu was very tasty: filet mignon was the right roast and very soft, literally melted in my mouth, and Roquefort oil added extra piquancy to it, tomato salad and baked potatoes with parmesan also liked it. The score is reduced due to the service: 1. When we sat down at the table, we were given a menu of drinks, for me drinks are an accompaniment to the dish and I clearly need to know what I want to eat, after that I will be able to choose a drink, the kitchen menu was brought after several of our requests. My husband ordered water without gas, in the end it was not brought, but brought water with gas and poured it to everyone at the table. 2. As a compliment, bread and olives were brought, but as soon as our order was brought to us, both bread and olives were removed from the table without asking us. 3. We waited at least 40-50 minutes for the order. 4. Three out of four ordered portioned steaks, the mistake of the staff was that they cut our portioned steaks on a common board into small pieces, after which they tried to put them on our portioned plates by carrying them across the table and eventually staining the dress with fat and the cut of one of the guests. Also, the sliced steaks cooled down very quickly and lost their taste qualities. Slicing a steak is justified only if it is a huge steak and it is ordered to the table for several...
