Arkadaşlarla aniden keşfedip gittiğimiz bir yerdi, büyük bir beklentiyle gitmedik. Canlı müzik başladı ama çok da etkileyici değildi. Ortam fena değil, vakit geçirmek için tercih edilebilir ama özel bir deneyim beklemeyin

It was a place we suddenly discovered and went to with friends, we didn't go with great expectations. Live music started but it wasn't very impressive. The environment is not bad, it may be preferable to spend time, but do not expect a special experience

Kesinlikle rezalet bir işletme. 4 kişi için rezervasyon yaptırıp öyle gittik. Öncesinde kapora ücreti de alınmış. Mekana oturduğumuzda fix menü içeriğinde olan 70lik rakı geldi. Yeni Rakı markasını aynı ölçüde Tekirdağ ile değiştirmek istediğimizde “800 TL” fark alınacağını ilettiler. Böyle bir fiyatlandırma hayatımda görmedim. Porsiyonlar 4 kişi için asla yeterli değil. Müzik deseniz çoğunlukla playback. Hesap geldiğinde kapora ücretinin konusu açılmadı bile. Güya hesaptan düşüldüğünü ifade ediyorlar fakat Kartal koşullarında böyle fahiş fiyatlandırmayla ilk kez karşılaşıyorum. İlgi, hizmet, müzik tek kelimeyle rezalet. Kesinlikle tercih etmeyin.

Absolutely a disgraceful business. We made a reservation for 4 people and went there. A deposit fee was also collected beforehand. When we sat down at the restaurant, 70 oz of raki, which was included in the fixed menu, arrived. When we wanted to replace the Yeni Rakı brand with Tekirdağ of the same size, they informed us that there would be a difference of "800 TL". I have never seen such pricing in my life. Portions are never enough for 4 people. If you talk about music, it's mostly playback. When the bill came, the subject of the deposit fee was not even mentioned. They say that it has been deducted from the account, but this is the first time I have encountered such exorbitant pricing in Kartal conditions. The attention, service, music are simply a disgrace. Definitely don't choose it.

Arkadaslarimizla veya kiz kiza surekli gönül rahatlığıyla gidiyoruz ne istesek cok saygili bir şekilde hizmet veren ve musterisinin isteklerine onem veren bir isletme üstelik fiyatlari diger yerlere gore hem uygun hemde   kaliteli mekan sahibine her gittigimizdeki misafirperverligi icin teşekkürler

We always go with our friends or girls with peace of mind. Whatever we want, it is a business that provides service in a very respectful manner and attaches importance to the wishes of its customers, and its prices are both affordable and high quality compared to other places. Thank you to the owner of the place for his hospitality every time we go.

Bu görselde yemeksiz menüde 6 çeşit meze ara sıcak ve meyve olduğu anlaşılıyor. Ancak mekana gittiğimizde sadece kuruyemiş ve meyve tabağı verildi. Meğerse yemeksiz menüde meze yokmuş. Mekan olarak fena değil ancak müzik vasatın altı diyebilirim.

In this visual, it can be seen that there are 6 types of appetizers, hot appetizers and fruit in the non-food menu. However, when we went to the venue, only nuts and fruit plate were given. It turns out that there are no appetizers on the menu without a meal. I can say that the venue is not bad, but the music is below average.

Herşeyden evvel emekçi arkadaşların hepsi çok ilgililer gerçekten...Biz fix menü aldık Yemekler ortalama normal olarak çünkü orası bir restoran değil eğlence mekanı...Mezeler ise gerçekten geliştirilmeli çok lezzetli değil di Herkes çok az olduğundan şikayet etmiş ama bitince takviye yapıyorlar bunu yazan arkadaşları anlamadım doğrusu...Ambians güzel en azından nefes alınabiliyor gayet ferahtı...Son söz de Solist arkadaşa enerjisi çok iyiydi tekrar dinlenir mi gidilir mi evet ama yemeğe değil İçmeye eğlenmeye...Çalışan ilgilenen tüm arkadaşlara teşekkürler çok saygılı seviyeli ve ilgilerdi... 🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🫵🏻👌🏻🌸

First of all, all the working people are really caring... We bought a fixed menu. The food is average, normally, because it is not a restaurant, but an entertainment venue... The appetizers should really be improved, they were not very tasty. Everyone complained that it was too little, but when they run out, they add more. The friends who wrote this I honestly didn't understand... The ambience was nice, at least you could breathe, it was very spacious... The last word is to the Soloist friend, his energy was very good, would we go there again? Yes, but not for food, for drinking and having fun... Thank you to all the friends who worked and cared, they were very respectful. They were level and interesting... 🙏🏻🙋🏻‍♀️🫵🏻👌🏻🌸
