Went to Four Seasons Restaurant last night for a meal, when we got our meals (4 of us) there was so much salt in them that we were unable to eat it, we told the waiter and he laughed and said he would sack the chef and walked off, we asked for the bill and it came and they had tried to charge us an extra 50 lira on what the cost should have been, we actually live in Turkey and we had my parents with us, so we were aware we had been overcharged, we sent the bill back and he admitted that they had overcharged us and apologised. This could have easily been some unsuspecting tourists who had just arrived and would have been ripped off for 50 lira, it is just not on, they obviously dont care about their quality of food they serve their customers even if you complain and then to try to blatently rip you off, it is just not good enough !!!
-
I totally agree Sooty. Did you actually eat the meals in question or did you get replacements? If you could not eat them then I would have refused to pay for them. To then be charged an extras 50ytl is an insult to your intelligence! They obviously thought you were tourists.
Thanks for the warning - I will stay well clear of this place if we get up that way.
-
With the competition in Hisaronu & Ovacik you would think that restaurants would be on top of thier game in both food quality and ensuring customer satisfaction.
A bad review like this and I will just not bother and go elsewhere.
-
Im very supprised this has happened sooty, Ive been there many times and never had a bad meal or for that matter had a problem with the staff or managment.....been going there for about 6 months on a weekly basis.....realy realy supprised :o....mistakes do happen...can only think this was one of them..
-
Live in Uzumlu, but when we go to Hisaronu/Ovacik, the Four Seasons are the only restaurant we can guarantee a good welcome and reception and good, reasonably priced meal.... been going for three years!

We too are very regular customers at 4 Seasons and have known the staff for a long time. I think we were there on the night you went sooty, as I heard Muhammet apologising prefusely to a table of 4 customers just before they left. This is indeed unusual which is why I noticed it. He is a cheeky chappy but also professional and I would ahve expected him to have handled the situation better!
I can only reiterate what brianthegardener and bikerchickblonde have said. However, this is not to condone the experience that you had Sooty. The unsatisfactory food is not good albeit very unusual but I can say quite categorically that the overcharged bill must have been a genuine mistake. I know these boys well and there is no way that they would intentionally rip anyone off.
Rest assured that I will relay to the restaurant your experience as they need to learn by their mistakes. I can understand if this has put sooty and any potential customers off, however, all I can say, without reservation, is that this is disapointing and not the norm! So maybe some people will give them a 2nd chance.

If that table was not sooty then that is someone else that didn't have a great night there.

I'm pretty sure it was sooty as we were there all evening and it's not that big a restaurant. As I said it is very unusual to hear anyone having cause to complain there.
-
We too have been in 4 seasons a number of times and our food was very good.We don't like salt when cooking at home so would have noticed if this was the case. Bills have always seemed accurate ( I have a daughter who works everything out in her head ) in fact I thought it to be very reasonable. The atmosphere has always been very good , live singer, waiters being entertainers etc the background music played may seem a bit dated and off this planet at times, not ideal for dining,I think this could be improved. I know many people who have used this restaurant and being more than happy with it. The reason I have put this,is because there should be a discussion on this topic from any members who have visited this place. Sooty, Brian, Bikerchick and Linda have made useful contributions to this post based on their experiences. We too have been put off Restaurants and not returned through one bad experience, having visited many times before, but are always careful to point out that we can not judge it on that. Linda you may find that some people are too narrow minded to try this place and would rather criticise your contribution. The danger is that if you try an pursuade them to go in there after reading the rest of the posts, they would be looking for fault and an opportunity to add a negative comment. We still liked it
-
well said David....if youve not tried it how can you nock it.
Ive noticed one of the threads that was on here, the one after Crabit and the one before Gorgeous bird has been removed :o, written by Stoop...i wonder why....maybe he realised or thought more of what he was saying with regard this topic.:D
-
Been to this place twice, great food, entertainment, price was not to bad.. soon eat @ this place than Angels.. bad experience there..
-
Ate there for the first time four weeks ago. Food very good, entertainment excellant and bill for 15 at the end of the night was spot on and very reasonable. Mistakes CAN AND DO HAPPEN. This is a family run establishement, whose family have been in the restaurant business in Hisaronu and Ovacik for 20+ years, and I cannot for one minute imagine that a family with such a good and long standing reputation would purposely rip somebody off. I for one will most certainly eat there again - along with my friends in October. Those who choose to take the first and only negative post as gospel - your loss!! Isnt there a saying that people are quick enough to complain,but never quick enough to praise|? Well I think the amount of praise for this place speaks for itself.
-
Well stated pet. :)
-
Had yet another great meal and evening of entertainment on October 18th....and an invitation to Mustafas wedding on 26th. What a great night down at the Savannah bar...Muhammet, Mustafa and their family made everyone so welcome
-
Yes,a good night out,left just before Maureen started dancing on the
bar. :)
-
Well you missed the highlight of the night Geordieboy!! Apart from all the gorgeous barmen swinging from the rafters that is!!... :)
-
my name is muhammet one of the owners of four seasons restaurant: I was very sorry to hear that you had a bad time at my restaurant. I can assure you that this is not normal and most of my customers they come back many times beacause they like my foods very much as well as entertainment. I am sure that I cannot make every time everyone happy but I am still young man and I am trying very hard to make hapopy: Let us the problem make go away and I am sure if you give me another chance again we will show we can be very good. I am first time see this forum and I bin shock.
-

-
Was there again 2 weeks ago for a few nights throughout our week, had 2 great meals, the guys were really good fun and there was such a good atmosphere for such a small place. It is well worth a visit and I know this is my 2nd post on this topic but I just wanted to let people know that from our most recent visit I believe it still offers good food, great value and a pleaseant atmosphere.
Amanda if you do go in try the house special ask Muhammet for "the ring of fire"

Yes there is a 10% discount on food because the restaurant has posters up to let custmers know. I;m sure that Mo would would roll up his trouser leg if thats what you want lol

mmm reminds me of the time I went into a sweet shop and he tried to charge me 7.50 for a bottle of water which should have cost 50 kurus. When I pulled him up he laughed his head off and took the right money. Not funny if I had been a tourist.
People are getting desperate now with the economic crisis starting to bite!
