I really like the fact that the portions are very large so it's hard to leave Shift and still feel hungry. The place is always full so you should make a reservation.

My steak was 90% fat with a thumbsized piece of meat, no seasoning whatsoever, not even salt. Drinks are actually good, but slightly overpriced. The only good part if the staff, everyone was super nice. If the food was at least mediocre, I would've considered giving it another try. It's not worth it, unless you're only going for drinks and a cozy place.

The vegetables in my quesadilla weren't even sauteed and my friend's lava cake was very uncooked, but the pasta dishes are good and filling. The staff was not the friendliest but they were respectful, so I'll put in on the account of a very busy night.

They have a small terrace in front if you are a smoker. Price per person: lei 80–100 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Our food would have been very good if it had been served when it was ready but we waited almost an hour and our meals had clearly been warmed up again in a microwave. I had the shrimp pasta with truffle sauce and it had a film over it from being microwaved. My husband’s meatballs were overheated and dry while the mashed potatoes were cold. The cocktails were great and the terrace was lovely, but it was unfortunate that our meals were spoiled by the server’s negligence. Price per person: lei 140–160 Food: 3 Service: 1 Atmosphere: 5
