Hiç Lokanta - Urla — Restaurant in Urla

We visited this restaurant at the end of December 2023. We ordered Smoked Sea Bass Paste, Chestnut Filled Pasta, Goat Tajine and Chery Filled Chocolate PuffCake. We drank red wine from the Urla region and tea. The quality and taste of the food: for a weak 4, of the 4 dishes ordered, I liked sea bass and goat in tagine, both dishes taste balanced and I would like to order them on the next visit, the filling in the chestnut paste was so ground into puree that the taste became homogeneous and boring, and the pasta itself was undercooked and it is not al dente, namely raw pasta, chocolate prevailed in the dessert with cherries and chocolate and the cherry was lost against its background, there was not enough sourness. Atmosphere: 5 out of 5, I liked the design of the room, high ceilings, loft style, wine shelf. Service: for 4, firstly, when ordering wine by glasses, it is necessary that the wine be poured into the glass in front of you so that you can see what is being poured for you, secondly, I would like the guests not to be put all in one corner of the restaurant, since then the waiters passing behind you with trays over your head are not the best an experience for guests. Overall impression: at 4, there is definitely room to grow, both in terms of food and...

Perfect spot for a nice bottle/cocktails and appetizers. We chose to sit outside for people watching but there were plenty of seats indoors and in the garden area despite being a Saturday night (9pm). Service was a mix bag, some were obviously inexperienced and not able to explain the menu nor answer questions asked. Ordered a bottle which took them 10 minutes to come back to indicate unavailability. Ordered another, this time it took them another 25 minutes and literally someone going up the ladder to search it in their cave, and return empty handed. Better/online stock management would have made the whole experience smoother. We ended up waiting-sitting-chasing the servers -whom were not busy at all btw-to get the water we ordered but not served after 30 minutes.

The cheese platter was very pleasant, not a fan of smelly gooey goat cheese but they provided 4-5 different options on the platter so we could skip it. The beef tongue skewer was perfect, thin enough to forget that you are actually eating a tongue but still with some texture.

The place is very breezy with high ceilings and pleasant lighting. Not sure about the triangles everywhere but that's definitely their concept :) Toilets and toilet locks are interestingly designed and definitely worth...

The reasons why I have giving the following stars. Food, 5 stars. Service, 5 stars. atmosphere 4 stars.

Starting the service. The staff showed professionalism and good service all the way. The recommendations from the starters, cold and warm dishes to the main course they knew exactly what they were talking about. Services minded indeed as well and therefor the 5 star.

The food. As mentioned above, we took four starters, 3 cold and 1 warm. The taste and flavor from each dish was beautifully in synergy that really gave you the moment of zen. From the starters to warm dishes there was a great thin red line, And I am for the record heavy smoker, really recommend these.

The reason why I gave it 4 star for the atmosphere. We’ll, the atmosphere wasn’t bad, the interior from backyard to the in-house and the lavatory was clean and nice, the confort sitting there for hours, however when the food is on that good level I had to give it 4.

Overall, I really recommend this restaurant for the food,...
