Service

Outside tables next to the park fill quickly and a pretty quiet (away from walking street). Good range of wine/prices by bottle and food was flavorable

Our waiter, a Croat whose name I have forgotten, was absolutely wonderful. He moved us to an outside table in the shade and with a view of the harbor and hills when one became available. And he engaged us in friendly conversation. Beyond that, the food was excellent, particularly the mixed seafood risotto (requires two people to order). I&#39;d happily return again and again just to have the risotto and some sparkling water (although the suggested wine was very good and not overcharged). Inside is nice but could get a bit noisy when there is a group having lunch.

Apart from providing an intersting and inventive tasting menu, and a great choice wines, with interaction with staff was excellent.

very good food and service. We went on a family dinner and had a good time. However, it&#39;s possible to get also very good food and service in other restaurants in the area for a bit lower price.

Lovely local restaurant. Food was excellent. The only problem we had was being able to access the online menu which was frustrating. The experience was greatly enhanced when we received a written menu and could then ask our server for food and wine recommendations. It&rsquo;s a shame to only have the online menu as you lose the personal touch which makes the dining experience more pleasurable. Overall we very much enjoyed the food and ambience.

A thoroughly enjoyable experience, in a very stylish setting, and with great food, even beyond the restaurant&#39;s specialty: the costate.

we have been coming here for 4 years now, never disappointed. they update their menu often.  we always love their refined approach to cooking, the ambience and most of all the great service from Erik and the new staff Marsela.  today we went for my husband&#39;s birthday.  everything was delicious and wonderful. we&#39;ll be back again!

Authentic restaurant with local cuisine. Food was delicious and owner was welcoming and helped us with choices. We were only staying one night and so glad we found this restaurant. It&rsquo;s a bit off the main section for restaurants but we&rsquo;ll worth the extra 5 minutes walk to get there. You won&rsquo;t be disappointed with this restaurant. All locals in when we were there - always a good recommendation!

The ambience should leave the impression of the old pub and it is possible that it is a cold weather but a Saturday evening in a half-empty restaurant where cold and guests are seated in the jackets did not justify our expectations. Beer is fine and food well prepared, but the impression that the ingredients are cheap. Something like in large fast food chains. I think the owner of everything wants to save ... The restaurant and the concept has potential, but it needs a good manager and a new shine.

Absolutely impeccable service and food.  From start to finish the food and service was unbeatable.  The employee who wears glasses is an especially personable and knowledgeable young lady.  She smiled the entire evening and explained each dish in exquisite detail.  The chef came out and greeted us at the end.  This restaurant should be three Michelin stars.

The outside sitting area was lovely, nicely decorated and very pleasant to eat.The fish and seafood dishes were delicious. Very welcoming and friendly staff.

The all-you-can-eat sushi experience focuses on quality, not just quantity, which is a rare find. Everything is well-prepared and presented beautifully.

We were there on New Year&rsquo;s Eve.  The food and wine and service was great.  The only issue is that we didn&rsquo;t realize how long the entire dinner would take.  We got there at 9pm and hoped to be done by 11-11:30pm at the latest.  We had to leave without getting our desert and champagne because we wanted to see the fireworks and the countdown from Piazza L&rsquo;Unita before 12pm.  It was my fault for not asking how long we would be there.  We love the restaurant, have been there before, and will continue to go again.  Happy New Year!
