Recommended to us, we were sadly disappointed. The view is amazing, though the lack of shade in July was challenging even at 7.30pm. The prices are pretty extortionate by turkish standards. Starters were nice...calamari particularly, however we then waited an hour for main course and when it came it was not good. Whiting fish tough and rubbery, jumbo prawns inedible and returned, cold chips and only 7 small chips on plate, unflavoured chewy beef, undressed salad etc. We quietly complained about the food and the waiters took the food away, then proceeded to ignore us. We tried numerous times to pay as felt very uncomfortable. When Bill arrived we were charged for all dishes...nearly 2.700tl. We asked for the prawns to be removed and reluctantly this was done....no other gesture was made re the other meals. On the way out an apology was made presumably by owner....but sadly damage done.We would not return or reccomend. Finally two in our party had sickness and diarrhoea through the night...

The food was like Childs portions. I had the chicken curry which was extremely bland and tiny. Room temperature when it arrived. Thinking about it I probably shouldn’t of eaten it!
The prices are absurd. We spent £18 on 5 bottles of water. We were given top-ups in our tiny glasses then the bottle would disappear into the abyss from our table. In other words con merchants.
When ordering a pint bottled Efes or Tuborg. They fill up a small half pint glass and then never bring the bottle along side yet charge you the going rate for a pint in kalkan.
Overall, last nights tea cost roughly 30 pounds for no starters and around 2 or 3 drinks...
Read moreEckletic decor, average food, excellent service. Upscale pricing.
Unfortunately, most of the restaurants in Turkey try to compensate for average quality food by providing excellent service / by being an excellent host.
One of the most common side hustle they do here is when you sit down, they ask, if you want water even before you have a chance to look at the menu. When you say yes, they bring you the biggest bottle / highest priced one. When you ask for a smaller bottle, they say that's all they have.
The food was served hot and with good presentation. The restaurant was clean. However, the taste was just average.
