After hearing good things about this place, we visited last night. Food was excellent, drinks very expensive.
Starters
Bread, pate and olives (free entree) very good
Calamari (best we have had for a long time)
Squid in Mediterranean sauce (decent)
Main
Rib eye steak which was exquisite. I ordered it rare and got it rare. Perfect. Again, best I have had for a very long time.
Sea food casserole that came out on a sizzling pot. Wife said it was lovely but I’m sure she had food envy over my steak.
We got two bottles of water and one bottle of prosecco
The bill came to 399TL, 198TL being for drinks. My wife, being a Yorkshire lass questioned the drinks charge. The waiter went away to investigate and came back with the news that we had been overcharged for the drinks and returned us about 30TL. However, it still meant that we paid 110TL for a bottle of prosecco, which I think is a bit OTT considering I can get the same bottle in a shop for 33TL (new revised price since tl decrease).
Anyway, all in all, very good food, not too badly priced considering the quality. However,next time we visit we will give the prosecco a miss.
