It's a very nice place. Lisa was a great server, attentive but not hovering. Dishes vary in quality, I thought. Order the tzatziki and pita. It's excellent! (Order anything and pita. The pita's great!)
A Memorable Anniversary Celebration with a Slight Hiccup at Bodrum Mediterranean Restaurant
We recently visited Bodrum Mediterranean Restaurant to celebrate our anniversary, and it was a delightful experience with a small setback. The restaurant's ambiance was warm and inviting, which set the perfect mood for our special occasion.
We started off by ordering two appetizers of the day, which were presented beautifully and tasted divine. For our main course, we had the lamb chop and the steak. Both dishes were cooked to perfection, and the flavors were rich and delicious. We could tell that the chef put a lot of effort into creating these dishes.
The service throughout our meal was on point and effective. Our waiter was attentive, making sure our water glasses were always filled, and our needs were met. It was after the main course that we experienced a minor issue. We ordered baklava, a traditional Mediterranean dessert, to finish off our meal. The dessert was delightful and up to this point, we would have given the restaurant a 5-star rating.
However, our waiter brought the check to our table after we received the dessert, saying "no rush." We appreciated the sentiment but were surprised when, not even five minutes later, the waiter approached our table and grabbed the check. My wife was still enjoying her dessert, and we hadn't even looked at the check yet. We reminded him that he had said "no rush" earlier, and asked why he seemed to be rushing us now. Visibly surprised, he responded, "I am not rushing you!" We couldn't help but feel that he was definitely rushing us.
Despite this small issue, we will definitely return to Bodrum Mediterranean Restaurant. The food is simply too good to pass up. We hope that our next visit will be a flawless experience, but even with the hiccup, we had a memorable anniversary dinner.
One of the best restaurants in Venice! Amazing Mediterranean food!
We really enjoyed our meal here. Would 100% recommend the sampler if you’re adventurous and want to try many things. Our entrees were amazing and the waiter was very pleasant. I can’t wait to return to try more.
The food was absolutely outstanding. Such a cute spot. I've been to many greek restaurants and never this good. Chef Ersen and waiter Deniz was very polite and kind. Hygene and Food: 5/5. Ali Nazik was magnificient… Looking to see you again soon…
We enjoyed a wonderful dinner with friends at the Bodrum Restaurant the other night. The food was absolutely amazing, fresh and flavorful Mediterranean experience for our first time eating here and we will be back next trip down. I tried to capture the food with the photos but you have to really come taste for yourself to get the full flavor experience. Oh, and the service is on point! Five stars for this little Venice GEM!
Best in Sarasota County. Took my friends here last night for dinner. The menu, the service, the food and wine were Perfect!
From appetizers to main course. 6 star in my book.
You'll find distinctive and flavorful Turkish cuisine here for a sensible price. Look for plenty of kebab, seafood, gyro, and salad options to pair with standard beverage and both beer and wine.
I rather loved the beyti kebab, tender lamb wrapped in a delicious dough with sumptuous sauces. The swordfish looked wonderful. Our vegetarian party member enjoyed her bean salad. Sigara borek should please lovers of goat cheese, and we liked the carrot tarator with pita bread, a lovely yogurt creation with nuts and carrots. For quality, you can't go wrong, and the atmosphere is cozy and classy. Our server, Brian, a professional man with his silver hair pulled back in a neat ponytail, was quick, attentive, and honest.
We went with 2 other couples looking for good food and a place where we could enjoy conversation. We were not disappointed! We all loved our shared appetizers, wine, each of our entrees, and our shared desserts. The staff was friendly and served us well, especially Lisa. The atmosphere was clean, pleasant and good for conversation. You can sit indoors or outside under cover. We sat indoors. We plan to return and take others. You should try it!
Loved every bit of this restaurant. The food was different but not at all over the edge. My wife really liked everything especially the appetizers we got. The service was top flight he made you feel like you were extra special.
