hope it was better than the meal we had there last week, About 8 pm couldnt read menus, as so dark, food come, stir fry lying in grease, chicken and mushrrom looked like a tin of chicken soup been poured over it and another dish couldnt see to eat so full of chilli, could not eat. Lovely setting for a drink but would not go back for food again.

Oh dear not a very good first review :( ??? :-[
-
Well we had lunch here, toasties etc. Delicious and lots of trimmings and really nice chips.
-
I don't think there would be much difficulty making toasties and chips.... It was the dinner that seem to prove a problem. :)
-
I ate there with 3 of my family one evening last week. Four different main courses and we all thought our meals were really good. Service was efficient, if not particularly friendly.
I would have no hesitation in eating there again
-
We too had lunch their back in May really enjoyed it ,wrap lovely chips salad & dips , say other meals come out too thought they also looked good planto go back in July will let you know how it goes
-

Went there for lunch today. Mexican chicken sandwich came with fresh side salad, spicy peppers and chips. ' decent size slices of chicken in a good sized roll. All served on a wooden platter for the princely sum of 10 Lira. Was delicious. Will definitely return.

We decided to give this place a go, and decided to just have a look at the menu whilst having a drink, we explained this to the waitress and she said fine, we intended to come back this evening.
We waited for the menus, and waited, when they finally came we ordered the drinks and the same happened, there were 4 members of staff close by, two were on mobile phone texting and the other 2 were smoking, we eventually got our drinks, it's a bit of a shame because the setting is lovely and the place looks great, we tried to get the attention of anyone to pay the bill, and in the end we left the money on the table.
The place was empty so the lack of service was ridiculous , needless to say we won't be back for dinner

We went there for lunch, yesterday.
Lovely setting, more staff than customers, a bit chaotic - had to order twice. When the food came it was inedible. I ordered a fish sandwich. It had what looked like 3 squares of frozen, battered fish. They were almost burnt and very dry. My husband ordered seafood pasta, and the fish was chewy. I complained about the sandwich - no apology, but they didn't charge for it.
Unimpressed.

Not quite up to their advertised standard then............ ;)

We went there for an evening meal in June - lovely setting, good chips and salad, food generally fine. Biggest problem was the menu. Even with our glasses, we could not read it. We moved tables to see it in a better light but still couldn't read because the type was minuscule. The waitress then gave us the previous menu where the type was larger.
I strongly suggest that they print new menus with legible and LARGE type which can be read even in candlelight!
-
After the opening blurb, sounded good, so I thought we might try it, but after the majority of bad reviews, I think we will give it a miss :(
-
Give it a try - they may have made the menus legible by now! The food we had was fine.
-
Ok, will give it a try, will let you know what it's like :)

4 of us went today.
There's plenty of choice where to sit, we opted for bean bags under a tree because the sunbed umbrellas don't really keep much sun out, so you only get alternate ones in the shade, and we all wanted shade.
We waited a long time before someone came to ask about drinks.
We had a pot of Turkish cay, which came with a little heater, stayed hot for ages,and good value shared between 3.
Our friend wanted water, which came in a glass bottle, only 750ml, checked price, 4tl.
So she nipped to the bar next door and got 1.5 tl for the same price and sent the other back. ( yes, naughty maybe, but 750 ml for 4 tl equates to 8 tl for a large water..crazy)
We asked for a menu.
Brown sugar came with the cay, requested white, and asked for menu again.
Sugar came.
Still no menu...asked again, success.
Our wait for food wasn't long, and all the food was perfect.
I had the burger which I loved at Mandolin, and it was just the same, delicious.
Coffee was 7tl for a perfect Americano, ( and I'm a total coffee snob.)
Bit of confusion when ordering lime and soda, the waiter confirmed soda lime, but we actually got lemonade flavour sodas. No ice, despite being 38 degrees, asked the waitress, didn't materialise so went to the bar, and she was just about to bring it, explained that what we had weren't lime sodas and that the service had been a bit chaotic all day!
Anyway, a few minutes later they brought over a glass of plain soda...no lime in it, but 2 slices of lemon! ( they didn't charge for it)
All in all we had a wonderful day, but they really need to give the staff some training. 3 of us speak good Turkish and ordered in Turkish so it's more than just a language barrier.
Got the feeling they weren't very motivated or interested in what they were doing.
Someone said they're like work opportunity trainees, unpaid? Don't know if this is true, but if it is, can't really blame them if they're fed up.
Anyway...we all agreed we would go back another time because the positives outweighed the negatives.
-
Didn't see you. We were next door, plenty of shade and no issues. Enjoy!

And where would that be Apollo
