Title: Motto on prom
Post by: Karennina on August 14, 2017, 21:43:15 PM
Soo we went here tonight as Jack really wanted to so i said am happy to have a few beveradiges before dinner...wen hesap came i thought 10tl for a coffee bit steep but then on looking at total 61 tl when i queried why so much i was told the beers of which we shared 3 are 17tl each! Stupidly just ordered and did not look at a menu, its not about particularly the extra 5tl per drink its just for me as always that horrid taste in the mouthof Iv been had! Prior to hesap paying i was thinking about dining there one night not any more!

It is the very first place turning right where there is a mini market either side once you have left the boats behind Marina

The thing is he offered us a menu and we said no thanks as we are just going to have a drink if thsts ok, wel sit on the front seats so we dont take up a table for diners, at that point there were only 2 tables with folk dining...Jack had previously been with some girlies he met here and they had shared a hubba bubba pipe ( or whatever its called) hed wanted to go back so i said yes...when i queried the efes price i was told its on the menu and id been offered a menu and had said no to which i replied i didnt think i needed one as give or take a tl or 2 most places charge the same price for beers and bravely added and you know that dont you...i was then told yes but we have nice toilets and a live band to which i said well your toilets are not that nice and i dont like live bands...defo will not be giving them a second chance, i would love to know if the menu does say the beers are 17tl though!

Karennina, I agree it sounds like they were trying it on, not sure why they think they can get away with it. Surely by now they know that these things are passed on. It's like you said in your first post, no-one likes to be ripped off and treated like an idiot. Be interesting to see if the price is 17tl on the menu though.

Well I've heard of piped music in toilets but a live band is taking things too far.....

Mehmet what a lovely guy it was the first restaurant we went to when we arrived in Calis back in 2005.

Ours too. At the end of the meal I went to pay with my credit card and Mehmet said there was a problem with the machine, come back tomorrow and pay.

Where else in the world could you be a complete stranger in town and be trusted to come back to pay.

Absolute gentleman, miss him a lot.
