We rarely eat on the prom these days, and almost certainly not during the season apart from the occasional breakfast treat. Still go along for a drink and / or stroll in the evening, but that's it.
We eat in many areas including Calis non prom restaurants, including Frank Canons, Fethiye, Uzumlu and yes Ovacik and Olu Deniz. All these areas seemed to have lifted their game, and IMHO they have not lifted their prices as much as Calis prom. I am prepared to be shot down in flames for this last statement as I do not have firm evidence only that of my own observation.
Have to say that the state of the roads and pavements behind the prom, as well as the beach, does not help. And when I say the beach it's not just the cleanliness, but I also mean the tired looking beach beds and umbrellas etc..... without any matresses!!!!!
Having said all of that, we still love the beach, the view, the 'ambiance' of the prom, whether morning afternon or evening, and just love sitting there watching the world go by with a nice drink in hand, it's just that the restaurants have lost their appeal perhaps??
