Stumbled into this place after walking past all the touristy spots near the water. Got the fried squid with chard &mdash; super fresh, not greasy at all. The fish broth was solid too, really comforting. Bill came out way less than what I paid for similar stuff closer to the sea. Nothing fancy, just honest cooking.

The beefsteak was cooked just right, really juicy. Also liked that the owner does the steak tartare right at your table. Nice personal touch.

Food was decent, fresh seafood and cooked well. But the bill came out higher than expected, especially for the fish by weight. Fine if you&#39;re not counting euros. I&#39;d probably go back for a special occasion, not a regular dinner spot.

Came here after docking at the marina&mdash;got a nice discount for boat guests. Food was solid and portions were big. Definitely book ahead though, it gets packed fast.

We come back every summer, and honestly the location is what keeps pulling us in. Right by the water, easy to just sit and watch the boats. I had a fruit cup with ice cream this time&mdash;the fruit was actually ripe, not the sad, pale stuff you get in a lot of places. Cocktails are solid too. Staff remembered us from last year, which was a nice touch.

Stopped by again last week and the owner actually remembered what I ordered last time. That never happens to me. Got the grilled squid and it was properly charred, not rubbery at all. Place gets busy around 7 so try to come earlier if you want a quiet table. Solid neighborhood spot.

The interior is really what got me &mdash; warm lighting, stone walls, felt like a proper konoba but not trying too hard. Sat near the window, chairs were actually comfortable, which is rare for me. Had the grilled fish and a glass of local white, both solid. Service was fine, no complaints. Just wish it wasn&#39;t quite so warm inside, got a bit stuffy by the end.

Stopped by for coffee and a scoop of ice cream. Terrace is nice, plenty of shade even midday. Staff didn&#39;t keep me waiting long. Coffee was fine, nothing special. But the ice cream, that&#39;s the real deal. I&#39;d come back just for that. Prices are fair for the neighborhood.

We came here with a group of friends and the peka was the highlight for sure. You gotta order the octopus one in advance though, it&rsquo;s worth the planning. Regular menu is fine too, nothing fancy but decent for the price. Place gets a bit loud when it&rsquo;s full, but that kinda added to the vibe honestly 😄

Nice little place off the main strip. Veggie plate was surprisingly decent, staff treated me like a regular. Just bring cash&mdash;no card here.

Pizza was decent&mdash;thin crust, nicely charred, toppings fresh enough. Place gets busy around 7, so expect a bit of a wait. Prices fair for what you get. Fine if you&#39;re in the area and want something easy.

Big portions for sure. The fried squid was solid and the Energy pizza did the job for the kids. Nice quiet spot on a shaded street in the old town. Prices felt fair.

The fish soup and sea bass were spot on&mdash;fresh, cooked right. House wine did the job with the seafood. Solid spot if you&#39;re nearby.

The terrace seating is the main draw here &mdash; olive grove and water right in view. Food&rsquo;s solid, creative but still traditional. Chef stopped by our table, nice touch. Just wish the chairs were a bit more comfortable for lingering.

The wine list surprised me&mdash;lots of interesting bottles I hadn&rsquo;t seen elsewhere. Food matched well too. We just picked randomly and everything worked. Place felt a bit quiet for a Friday night, but that made it easier to talk. I&rsquo;d come back for the wine alone.

Milan the waiter knew his wine pairings well, even explained the story behind each dish. Food looked great and tasted even better. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger.

Came for the pizza, left happy. Dough was light, toppings actually fresh. The view over the sea and island is the real deal, especially around sunset. Sat there longer than planned just watching the light change. Prices fair for what you get. Solid spot.

The owner brought out the day&#39;s catch to show us&mdash;whole fish on ice, still glistening. That alone told me more than any menu could. Interior&#39;s got that clean, modern Adriatic vibe, nothing fussy. We had the grilled sea bass, simple and honest. Place was busy but not chaotic. Just felt right.

Solid seafood spot in Senj. Grilled octopus was fresh, crab ravioli too. Family-run feel, service friendly. Nothing fancy but does the job.

The wine list surprised me&mdash;good selection for a place that leans creative. Food was solid, though I&#39;d skip the tasting menu if you&#39;re hungry. Portions are on the smaller side.

Came for the view, stayed for the grilled fish. Table right by the water, no rush at all. Waiter threw in a few Croatian words while we ordered, nice touch. Seafood tasted like it came straight off the boat. Place was busy but not crazy. Bill was fair for what you get. Would sit outside again.

Lucked into a table without a reservation at lunch. Short menu, changes daily, but the seafood was spot on. House wine paired nicely too.

Grilled tuna was properly done, not overcooked, still juicy in the middle. Fresh salad on the side actually tasted like something, not just decoration. Menu in a few languages helped, but honestly I&#39;d eat here again just for that fish. Place was quiet, no tourist chaos. Fine by me.

The tuna and white fish were spot on, really fresh. Sitting right by the sea made it better. Staff were friendly too, though it did get a bit busy.

Solid spot for a quick bite. Kebab box was decent, plenty of meat for the price. Place gets cramped at lunch though. Still, can&#39;t complain when it&#39;s that cheap.
