I do remember that her glass of white wine cost $30 & her dinner was less. A very nice place to visit for the views, but the slow service is what I remember most unfortunately.

Where shall I begin? The name of the restaurant was intriguing. The interior was warm and cozy. The…read morestaff was pleasant. The ratings for this restaurant were high. We ordered chicken with Jägermeister gravy. The choice of potato was pan-fried or baked. I really wanted mashed, oh well. No bread or cabbage dish was included in the meal. I saw it on the menu, but maybe takeaway does not include the same as dine-in. The chicken cutlets were two huge breasts that were lightly breaded. The veggies were huge. The pan-fried potatoes reminded me of a baked potato cut into wedges. The sauce was a brown liquid with some overdone mushrooms. It consisted of water with some color from the mushrooms. Although the portions were huge, taste is very important when eating the meal. There was no seasoning at all. It was like hospital or nursing home food. If you don't season the food, maybe you could include some salt and pepper.

You may spot a few horses during your dinner! The seafood chowder was highly recommended so I had that as my entree. The seafood was fresh and cooked perfectly. There were jumbo prawns, fish, mussels and clams. I enjoyed the taste of the broth as well. For dessert, they had a special Japanese style cheesecake which was light and fluffy and accompanied with ice cream, a sprinkle of nuts, and edible flowers. Great friendly service as well!

The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, and Anita in particular was awesome. We asked for recommendations and Anita recommended the Seafood Chowder to start which was to die for!!! Best one my Gf and I have ever had anywhere.. For the main dishes we had the Rack of Lamb, and the Beef Bourguignon and both very delicious and very tender. The owner Roxanne and Stephan came by and mingled with everyone and I have to say are incredible hosts and have done an amazing job with the place and the staff. Did I mention they have a 3-Michelin Star Chef?!! We will definitely be back and highly recommend this place to any and everyone to stay, relax, enjoy great dining and unwind. Michael and Teresa:)

Big tables, Serbian pop music playing, and attentive service. I ordered the cevapi with bread and a bowl of veal soup. Both were hearty and well seasoned. Thankfully the cevapi came with a nice heap of onions. If I had a complaint, it would be that the bread has a tougher crust than the Bosnian somun. Also I would have appreciated some kajmak (thick cream) along with the ajvar. But I think it's a place I will visit again to try other things on the menu

There are a good variety of pork dishes but I ordered a steak. It was bacon wrapped and within the steak was oozing cheese. The steak was seasoned perfectly. It was accompanied by a tomato based sauce that complimented the slightly salty steak very well. It also came with a basket of fried potatoes and a side of cucumbers and tomatoes dipped slightly in vinegar and salt. The service was attentive and on point giving recommendations based on my taste pallette. The dining area was small, maybe enough for a total of 30 people dining max at one time. The ambiance was very quiet, enough to talk and converse without having to raise your voice. Lots of wall art depicting either famous people or places from Serbia. I noticed several Nikola Tesla pictures. A destination to totally visit and wisk you away to the food joys of Serbia. Side note: in the men's bathroom, the walls are plastered with praise to Novak Djokavic (one of tennis legends) and Nikola Jokic (a current legend in basketball).
