Visited several this year, the Birlik - good food but the service is awful, as it was under the old management, they do need to up their gome on that front.
Max's old place really only discovered for food late on during our hols but impressed, not overly busy (this is after 1900) so the service was great, very attentive and the food was good too, in my view better than the average, and probably gets my vote. (I think that they may have some sort of hook up with the 'Captains table'?? next door not sure of the name).
Didnt try Mutlus, did do a couple of lunches at the new escape that were very good, Murat always goes out of his way to please, do have reservation about his head waiter, only get negative comments (over several years) about him.
Dephnie for lunch a few times and as always good service with food so fresh you can watch them picking it before they prepare it. Never seems to do as well as I think it should do.
Eagerly looking forward to trying out 'Angels' in may
