This restaurant has it all: great service, great food, and a great atmosphere! The two waiters, Philip and (Don) Tony, are enthusiastic about their work and make sure you have everything you need at all times! If you are a good and polite guest, you’ll get that little extra. They go out of their way to create a great vibe and make it a true experience. I recommend the beef steak with pepper sauce! The sauce is amazing, and the steak is as tender as it gets! If you’re in the area, this is a restaurant you must visit. If not – have you really been here?

We had an amazing experience at this place, and a big part of that was thanks to our waiter, Marin. He was friendly, attentive, and had great recommendations. Marin made us feel welcome from the moment we sat down and checked in regularly without being overbearing. The service was smooth and relaxed, and the food came out quickly and hot. The pizzas were delicious, and Marin’s great vibe really made the night feel special. Would definitely come back.

We were looking for some good when sailing through dalmacija and found this restaurant. The food was very good, but the best part was the service. We had a waiter Filip serving us. He was very friendly, charming, helpful and joyful. We felt very welcome here and enjoyed our stay here. Filip was friendly with everyone around us and always smiling. Hard working and charming guy. We will definitely come again. The prices are also reasonable for this time of the year, but affordable for such good and tasteful food.
