The only good (but not best) thing here is location. The rest is all just three stars - food is truly disappointing, the only tasty thing is one or two meze items. The meats and calamari are very average. The service is slow and disjointed- you have to ask several times, remind many times (for example for water. And the calamari took extra 30 minutes on top of the 25 minutes it normally took them to prepare meats - they say because they changed the oil, and I strongly suspect because they simply forgot). Servers are always rushed, it's like you are at some cheap high-volume cafe. They didn't have green tea after initially saying they have it, so brought 7-8 other types of unrelated teabags - e.g., lemongrass, etc. So basically a party of four left very disappointed and dissatisfied, and would have asked to speak to the manager if the bill were to be higher than $64.37 we paid (which includes taxes and 10% mandatory tip).

Even though I made a reservation in person earlier t that night, and asked that I wanted to pay that night's bill with my international credit card to make a kind gesture to my friend, [My credit card was a visa card by the way] and although they promised to cause no problems with the payment time, they ruined my night, and embarrassed me. In fact, they offered to take my credit card to go to the nearest ATM to withdraw some Turkish Liras from my account! The food was moderate, after causing so much trubble and offering such an absurd thing, they were not very friendly either.

We needed a place with access to a plug for a laptop and wanted to sit outside at the water at the same time. The owners/staff didnât only greet us with handshake, they made everything possible. The octopus was the best, the salad very fresh and good and meze fantastic. A huge variety also. Plus the personnel is always in for a joke. Beautiful location and good times! Will come back!

We are a small family restorant. We are serving mediterranean and turkish food aspecially with the olive oil. We have a special bread with local vegitables which is so popular in the area.

If you are looking to experience a traditional meal cooked by a local than I would definitely recommend this place. Itâs a business run by an old couple and they are just adorable. Besides the foods being traditional, they also taste mouth-watering and scrumptious. Overall had a great experience.

The hotel was really cozy and well decorated. The garden with the pool is so peaceful and relaxing. And in the morning we had the most beautiful breakfast with all homemade jams, eggs, all the local delicious products. The staff is really helpful and friendly. It is also 10 min walking distance to Alacati center. I highly recommend it and definitely will go again.

Meat. fish, and salad dishes. Olive oil used in many of our food types.
Reviewed By Susanna K
We have been there in a bigger group, later in the evening. You can chose your dishes in the kitchen, we had a little bit of everything, I liked the slowly cooked lamb a lot and all the meze. The bread was homemade too, fresh and very tasty with the typical turkish pastes like humus or acili ezme or muhammara. Nice, cosy atmosphere on the patio.I do not eat seafood, but the octopus seems to be extraordinary good, my fellows were quite enthusiastic about it.

Had their soup/lamachun and Pide. They have us free cheese bread and (honestly) amazing salad with it. Pide and lamahchun wasnât to die for but itâs fresh to make and value for money. Itâs a only Pide restaurant they do not have kebab or any other menu.

We came here for dinner with my bf and sister; everything was flawless. The staff, the owners, the atmosphere and the food was immaculate. The restaurant was quiet and calming with some Jazz playing in the background creating a very romantic and lush atmosphere which is hard to find in Alacati (due to the busyness). The staff were very attentive, going above and beyond to make sure we were satisfied. The steak was delicious, we ordered a rare steak which was genuinely cooked to perfection. Couldn't be happier to find this hidden gem off the beaten path. Would recommend to everyone and would come back here without any doubt.

Breakfast and grill in olive garden
Reviewed By mejremm
Absolutely the best breakfast. You may need to take your own gevrek/simit if that is your bread of taste but the fresh lokuma and mixed bread basket may be more than enough. Sit amongst the ancient olive trees and just sit and enjoy.

We visited for lunch and were very impressed with the stylish historic interior, old wooden floors, great building, etc. and the food and drinks were good. Handy location too. Some of the staff were kind and interested and some were bored and slow. A tasteful place to have a drink or something to eat.
