Called in for a meal as we know one of the waiter and my daughter and family had a nice meal in May.
We made the mistake of sitting at one of the front tables which back onto the tables and settees/chairs for people who want just drinks. There was a family of Welsh people sitting with an ex-pat. The family had two young children and a baby in a high chair. The man of the family had the loudest voice I have every heard, he sat with his arm around the settee and on our table. This at 9.00pm. when we arrived. We heard all their conversation and at one point the guy stood up to go to the toilet and his swimming trunks came down. I saw the whole of his bum and his tattoo on the right cheek. The baby in the high chair was getting tired and upset so a mashed banana was ordered and more bottles of Efes. The guy lit up a cigarette and the smoke engulfed our table. We could not have a conversation as it was drowned out by him. At this time the two young kids got restless as well. We had our starter and then the main course, the conversation got louder and then it was decided that the party should leave, but, the guy sitting next to us talked everyone into one more Efes. So, after our main course, with everyone shouting, the kids playing up and the baby crying. We moved to a table away from this group. We had a dessert and an Irish Coffee. It was 11.00pm by this time everyone in the Welsh party was well on with the drink and the waiters where taking it in turn to nurse the baby and walk her up and down. We left at 11.15pm and the party were still there.
Moral to this story, we really enjoyed the meal at the Soul Bar, but advise anyone not to sit near the front if you want a peaceful meal.
