[Pompeyalbie]

Adam said to us last height that if it rains overnight today would be a nice day, next time I see him I'll suggest he gives up weather forecasting. 

[seasick]

well its 7am here and not a cloud for our last full day, hope it stays like that!

moonlight opened last night, yali,s packed at 10pm so couldn't get a chair there!!

as was trio so went to ilyada again next door as rami only had 2 tables in!!!
it was then I heard his story, he said "last year I have restaurant with my name on it, this year sadly I not, maybe again next year" he then went on to say about crippling rents, summer period, 12,000 lira a month!!!!!!!!
was more than happy to support him again and his great service and food, and such such good value that we left a 30% tip

please everyone go see him this year, not sure I wil lgo to trio again as one waiter kicked one of the dogs last night, no need for that!

Morning Paul, I'm up too and it is looking good, off to Fethiye market today it will make a change driving without the wipers on. Have a good day, we are going to try Kalamaki tonight as we've never been there & a lady in Sade recommended it last night.

[seasick]

excellent pompey, 5 times we have been here and never been to fethiye or olu deniz!!! that's bad isn't it....is it market day there?
I did try kalamaki but that was 3 years ago now, cant remember to be honest what it was like.

enjoy your day

[Kalkan Magic]

Hope you had a great hol seasick despite the weather. I don't think we will be going back to Trio now either after that behaviour, so thanks for the tip off.

[kalkan4eva]

did I miss something about Trio...?

[Lizilu20]

Was it regarding a waiter kicking a street dog? I seem to remember reading something along those lines but not sure if that was this thread or whether I've even dreamed it 

[BarbH]

It is good to see a proactive response to this issue as no one wants to see cruelty to animals. It would be great to see a similar proactive response to customers who do not wish to share their evening meal with animals roaming the restuarants. Maybe the answer to both is simple, do not let animals in restaurants.

Maybe the issue about dogs roaming around restaurants has come to a head.
The waiters can pick up on customers feelings and fears about dogs at your table
A knee jerk reaction to a situation from a waiter thinking he is doing his job.
Don't take it out on him. I also agree he may have acted wrongly.
We do not live in their world, he thought he was protecting ours.

[pw]

Agree with you Don. We very rarely eat in the harbour restaurants now due to the dogs roaming around the tables. Sadly they are encouraged by customers feeding them at the tables. I don't condone cruelty to the dogs but there is a real problem that isn't being addressed. Like you say the waiter was trying to do the right thing by the customer. A rustle of a water bottle or a loud "Oosht" is usually enough to shoo a dog away but not always.....

[chickengeorge]

I agree. Bit of an over reaction by the street animal brigade. Hope the waiter doesn't lose his job over it. Probably just getting the dog away from a table who doesn't want animals around while their eating. People are concerned about a dog getting a kick up the butt whilst gnawing on a fillet steak or lamb shank with no guarantee on how those animals were killed.

[chrissy1]

Have been in Trio many times and yes there is a problem with dogs wandering in, the waiters have always dealt with it by rustling the water bottle at them which usually does the trick - I have never seen any of the waiters be cruel and I agree they are only protecting the customers - quite right too, I dont want to sit and eat with a dog begging at the table, whilst eating at another restaurant we had a cat perched on the shelf leering at my piece of fish and the waiter was none to pleased when I politely asked if he would remove the cat - we were then treated with such contempt I will never eat there again. Not everyone is a dog/cat lover to the extent they wish to dine with them.
