“ I have eaten here several times already and the quality is excellent. Nice portions size, great and sometimes unexpected flavours. Small but cozy terrace with friendly staff. I will definitely come back! ”
“ Very tasty food with good service. Better to go there when time is not any issue. Enjoy great appetizer and wine first as it takes some time to get main dishes. The chefs pay attention to details, therefore it takes time to prepare things well. ”
“ So nice! It’s a bit pricy but dishes are gorgeous. The monkfish cheek was very different and flavours were great. The seafood risotto was also delicious. ”
“ Seriously. This was the best "surprise" Split had to offer. When we saw the reviews we were thinking that it didn't look like a place that would have so many high rates. We were very happy to be wrong. Don't get fooled: The place looks like a nerdy tavern, but the food is on the highest or levels. We arrived early, so the kitchen wasn't open yet. The amazing waitress Silvia said we could wait there and brought bread on the house. Everything would be already perfect, but Silvia's service was the cherry of the cake. We've ordered the lamb confit (Silence of the Lambs), the meat risotto with peas cream and the chicken leg. I would give each of them a 10. Even the chicken leg, that I was doubting that would be that good surprised me positively. And the desserts were from another world. We've ordered the chocolate mousse and the two "eggs". Both were amazing, but the eggs takes the prize. Seriously. Don't miss it. ”
“ A restaurant that you simply have to experience; no words needed yet so much to say. At first glance it makes an impression; small details everywhere, from endless moments on walls to bottle of watter with funny messages: everything is detailed. Staff simply so honest, local and hospitable that you can feel the atmosphere even if you are not local. Food is simply spot on, flawless, natural. We didn't arrive fully hungry but the food simply motivated us to enjoy as we haven't been eating for two days. Boy it was good. Foodwise this is the best thing that happened to me in this part of Croatia so far! ”
