The Windmill: Steer clear

The Windmill: Steer clear, Bodrum

 tinado Says:  When you see it, it looks so pretty and inviting. But when you get in, it’s a different story. The menu is basic and lacks imagination. But you are already there and seated, so you have to pick something. I chose the chicken wings for starters. What came out were 4 wings,... 

The Golden Knife: Avoid
