The staff was…read moreunhelpful and once we sat down "turned off" the service they seemed very interested in giving us as we walked the sidewalk in front of the restaurant. The food, especially the fish, was VERY over priced. This was the most expensive meal we had in Turkey and we ate at 25 different restaurants while traveling. The food was fine, tasted good and prepared well, but not worth what they charged us! The next night we went to a restaurant called Fener and got a very similar meal for HALF the price! Also, the Baklava, which was raved about, was dry and not that impressive!

This restauarnt is one of many similar fish restauarnts right along the waterfront walkway in…read moreGumusluk. All of these restaurants have the guy out front trying to steer people in, but we picked this place based on a recommendation from our guide book. Fail. This place is just as touristy and overpriced as all the rest. Fresh fish is expensive most everywhere you go in Turkey, but this place was at least 50% more expensive than a similar meal we had the next night as a place called Fener restaurant (you need a car to get there), which catered more to locals. Give this restaurant, and Gumusluk in general, a miss.

We stopped at the Fener restaurant (not sure if this map is correct, the one we went to was near…read moreTurgutreis I think) on the recommendation of one of the staff at our hotel, and we were not disappointed. This place was far beyond my expectations in terms of the quality of food, and the setting. The mezes were fresh and delicious - the grilled octopus was amazing, and the fish we picked out was equally fresh. This restaurant was a pleasant change from some of the touristy spots prevalent along the coast in the area.
