I dropped my knife at one point during the evening and although I didn 't think he was around to see it he quickly appeared with a replacement for me. Atmosphere: The decor was very modern, the tables and chairs had an eclectic vibe and despite being a generously sized eating space it felt very homely and cosy. My girlfriend and I agreed that it felt as if we were eating in the converted dining room of a fancy manor. The music was nice and low, enough so you could hear and enjoy it while eating but not enough to ruin conversation. Cleanliness: The toilets were VERY clean as well as the tables, chairs and pretty much anywhere else I looked. The light was flicking in the toilet which is annoying but forgivable. Something to note though is that the toilets for women are very small and those for the men are pretty big. Food: In general the food tasted very good. I would prefer they didn 't salt the bread that came to us and my mother in law said her meal was too salty too. I had Pizza Sofia which I would definitely recommend! It 's arguably the best pizza I have had in Craiova. All the fish is frozen and although tasty, it 's definitely not 'WOW '.

The food was very good, good value for money. The waiters are nice, the food came quickly enough. The ambiance is very cozy. read more The food was very good, good value for money. The waiters are nice, the food came quickly enough. The ambiance is very cozy.

They were more focused on the football match than on us, there were just another couple and the five of us in the whole place and 3 waiters. We had to go in several occasions to look for them to ask for things because they were not coming. Food took ages to come and was not even tasty. Besides that, waiters don't know what is in the food, not even the kind of meat used. Avoid cocktails at all cost, everything taste the same, all watery.

Food is ok. Serving is fast. The staff does not smile very much, but the serving is ok. The wait time is ok, food arrived fast. read more Food is ok. Serving is fast. The staff does not smile very much, but the serving is ok. The wait time is ok, food arrived fast.
