Sue, George is now at Cafe Soul, not sure who will be working there this summer as none of the lads were paid their full amount of wages owed to them at the end of the season

Really.....well, we will have to visit cafe soul then - whereabouts is it, don't think we've tried that one yet :D  
How awful not to be paid when you have worked so hard.  I do hope it gets sorted for everyone.

It is a shame if George has not been paid  he has worked for Mehmet for a long time.  We like to go to the Orient as Mehmet has always made us very welcome and is very friendly to us.  Unfortunately in the past year or so the food has not been up to scratch and we have been left disappointed.   Hopefully the 'new' Orient will return to the good food, comfort and service of a few years back.

The Orient really was the place to eat at one stage, I think many would agree with that. We found that after Falcon moved on, the portions of everything just got smaller and smaller, and the menu also just got stuck in a time warp. We love Falcon and also George, but Falcon was a restaurant manager and George a waiter (albeit a very good one). Once Falcon went, things changed and I have a feeling it was him and his management that prevented the meals getting smaller and also keeping the menu lively and trying new things.

It's a real shame, we have many great memories of the Orient - I too would wish that it's refurb will herald it's return to being one of the great restaurants of Calis.

A sad loss to the prom when Falcon changed careers!:(

No doubt the land is far more valuable to the owner for residential building rather than commercial use.
Any little gaps on the sea front promenade are currently undergoing residential development...extremely lucrative by all accounts!

My husband is in Calis at the minute sorting out the finishing touches to our villa in Uzumlu. The situation with the Orient Express is .. It is a refurb as Scunner previously said. There is going to be 2 floors, retaurant downstairs and a bar upstairs. George & the other staff will be returning when the refurb is completed.
