Marco Terrace Restaurant — Restaurant in Muratpaşa

The view here can’t be beat and, while the staff was very eager to get us inside, they quickly lost interest in us once we sat down. The way the terrace is arranged, anyone not sitting at the outermost edge has the cigarette and cigar smoke of everyone else blown at them, so be aware of you are sensitive to smoke.

Besides the service being very mediocre, we also had an issue with cleanliness. The server put down placemats that had chunks of food still stuck to them and only after I drew attention did she stop and say “Oh. I must have gotten these from the dirty pile instead of the clean stack.” Later, when we were brought plates, they smelled strongly of sponge or dishwater and we used our purchased water to rewash them at the table.

The food was a bit mixed. While my partner liked his crispy chicken (essentially chicken nuggets), the cats at this restaurant are very aggressive and one went as far as getting on the table and knocking the food off my partner’s plate. Additionally, my ‘Alfredo’ pasta had many ingredients that were not listed on the menu, including meat (no issue for me but imagine some vegetarians would be quite surprised) and mushrooms (which I’m allergic to and very much WAS an issue for me).

Finally, every single person I saw involved in preparation and/or handling of food and/or drink in this restaurant seemed to have a cough. The soundtrack of the whole night was an accompaniment of coughing from 4-6 voices. Not the song I want being performed over my food during...

A Masterclass in Hospitality... If You Enjoy Hostility!"

Ah, where do I begin with this gem of an establishment? If you’ve ever wanted to know what it feels like to be a cash cow instead of a customer, look no further! My girlfriend and I stumbled into this restaurant for a casual drink, not realizing we were signing up for a masterclass in passive-aggressive service.

The staff rolled out the red carpet for us tourists—literally! We were guided to a prime spot and felt momentarily welcomed. But the moment we committed the cardinal sin of ordering just drinks, the atmosphere took a turn. Suddenly, every waiter within a 10-meter radius developed a death stare, especially as new, food-ordering patrons walked in. The shift in mood was so palpable, I almost asked if there was an extra charge for the dirty looks.

Let’s talk about the owner—an older gentleman with a smile so fake, it should be trademarked. He parades around trying to charm tourists in every language he knows—German, Russian, Italian—like a con artist with a multilingual toolkit. His jokes might as well come with a price tag, because, surprise! Your bill just got a little heftier for reasons you never asked for.

In summary, this place is perfect if you enjoy being glared at, overcharged, and treated like an ATM with legs. Even one star feels generous. Do yourself a favor and save your money—and your sanity—from this den of thieves masquerading as...

They discriminate people, when we arrived we where told you had to eat , and that's ok we where not so Hungry so we ordered a couple of starters and ordered drinks, , then came a Turkish adult couple , they where told very aggressively that they where had to order courses even though all the tables where empty. The cafe / resteurant had 3 tables with the best view with a reserved sign that they didn't seat people. They say it is for hotel guests only. The couple that came they where very fine dressed but they left. A young Turkish couple came and the young man wanted to sit at the reserved table because it was perfect for a romantic date, but they told him it was reserved he could not seat there and they came with bad excuses. So for more then 1 hour the best 3 tables with a view where reserved. And there where 4-5 groups who wanted to sit there . Then 3 old white ladies came , they sat at the reserved table , they ordered 3 cheap ice creams and left without a tip.very nice View but very discriminate and unfair practices. They are very stupid, because they try to suck up to foreign tourists they discriminate others , all who got denied the table had more money and they where willing to...
