I was part if a group of 6 people from South Africa, London and Switzerland and all agreed that it was the worse experience ever. We are regular travellers and was amazed by the arrogance of the waiter. Firstly the quantity of wine received per glas was exceptionally less than we all are used to. After we enquired about it, the waiter explained that it is the norm. The out of stocks of certain dishes was dissaponting. The food was bland, tasteless and expensive, definately not 5 star as per all other reviews that we read before we decided to enjoy dinner at the restaurant. After we ordered a bottle of wine, we realised that the wine was off....milky! Again we enquired about the wine but needless to say, the arrogant waiter claimed that the wine should have been decanted, not sure if that was the case, why it was never done. We were billed for the wine, even after we complaimed about the taste/colour. All guests confirmed that they will never visit the restaurant again. I am of the opinion that the testaurant will not last long if there is a not a drastic change in the attitude of the waiters as well as the quality of the food. We are so excited to dine at the restaurant but was so dissapointed in all.

Actually one of the 4 dishes we had was ok (roast beef) but the rest was tasteless (creamy soup) or really excessively sour (minced lamb/rib eye). It scared us so much that we left without getting dessert. All of it together was about 500 kuna which was the same price as dinner at the best restaurant we experienced during our entire croatia trip. Now the high rating is what puzzles me here. Are people so blown away by the looks and kind waiters/waitresses that they assume the food must be good? Or maybe we just ordered the wrong dishes? Either way, we would advise to not eat here despite the high rating.
