I wish I had taken some photographs of the restaurant. I just didn't expect it to be so nice. It was especially nice after the previous dinners we had had at another nearby restaurant where we were surrounded by large touring groups. Some of the other guests at the other hotel restaurant seemed to have trouble keeping their voices down, which meant that we could not even hear ourselves think! Tough for a romantic dinner that way.
But Şira was lovely and small, with no huge round tables where the guests shout at one another from across the table.
The manager, Kâmil Koparal, asked us our names when we entered and then continued to address us by them all evening... which was unsettling... He has an eidetic memory. Unsettling in an interesting way... we felt like idiots not remembering his name. Another table asked him his name and we latched on to it.
Anyway, we enjoyed our dinner very much and would recommend the restaurant to others. It was too cool to eat outside, but the dining room was intimate with only a few tables. They do wine tastings at the hotel, so we found some nice local wines on the wine list and found a nice one to accompany our dinner.
I'd go again if in Uçhisar.
Happy Independence Day!
