GREAT SERVICE GOOD FOOD…read moreGOOD PRICING the first impression I got when I stepped out of the ferry was an island which is overcrowded, smelly and defiantly a tourist-trap. There were so many people on the road that you could barely walk, it was really hot and I only could smell horse poop. I immidietly knew that I couldn't eat at one of the local restaurant on the main roads. Unfortunately yelp isn't the best app to use for food recommendations in Turkey. I looked on trip advisor and found this restaurant. It stands for its name and it's away from crowded roads but at the same time not too far away to all main streets. This means you'll get there within 10 min when you get out of the Ferry in main Pier. The one thing that truly stands out when you go there is service. These people know the value that online reviews bring them and truly try to make sure your experience is a positive one. This is not very common in Turkey. We got the mixed Fish plate, a bunch of appetizers (definitely try the walnut, olive appetizer) and salads. They gave us a complementary eggplant based appetizer which was yummy. They also have a good selection of wine. We tried a bottle of the white wine which turned out to be really good ( sorry I don't remember the name). They finished our day with a photo that they printed and brought us toward the end as well as complementary ice-cream. We also ordered some tea and Baklava. The ice-cream was great but the Baklava was just okay. I'm not sure if I'll go back to that island again but if I do, going to this restaurant again is definitely going to be on my list.

While the physical restaurant is quite nice and I enjoyed the breakfast platter that we ordered,…read morethe experience I had with the restaurant's rude and unpleasant manager ruined my experience at Mado. In the menu, the platter we ordered was shown to cost 40 Turkish lira. However, when we received the bill, I noticed that we had been charged 50 Lira. Naturally, I enquired as to the price difference and was told that 50 Lira was the actual price and a waiter brought over a menu, which had a label with '50' overtop of where the 40 Lira had been on the menu we had been given initially. I told the waiter that the menu we had must have not been updated with the price change, but that 40 was the price we should pay. He agreed and called for the manager. The manager arrived in a puff, accused us of lying about the price, and told us that if we paid 40 he would take the 10 Lira difference from the salary of the waiter who had served us -- an obvious ploy to guilt us into paying. Undeterred, we put down money for the original price and went to walk out. The manager approached us in a huff, blocking the exit, and again reminded us that he would take the money from the waiter and asked if we were 'ready to accept the consequences' -- when we said 'yes' and went to leave, he demanded that we pay the 10. We acquiesced unhappily. This absolute lack of professionalism made dining here extremely unpleasant and I would caution others restaurant goers in Maltepe to look elsewhere so as to not reward this lack of customer service. I am not one to write overly negative reviews, but this experience left an extremely sour taste in my mouth.
