I should give both good and not so good review in one because I did not write a review about this place previously.
Stari Grad was my go-to place for mom's cuisine, from 'back home'. I loved it and visited it weekly for cabbage rolls, wiener schnitzels, karadjorgeva and balkan desserts.
In the last while, let's say last 6 months or so, there is a huge decline in warm food: I got once sick on their Lamb soup which seemingly had lots of liver in; then their 'Sheppard's Pie' had chunks of chicken and looks like previous days leftovers in, and Wiener schnitzels are getting too salty. A new cook? If so, please, please get back the old one.
The latest was my purchase of stuffed peppers. It was stuffed with carrots, celery, and potato. These are NOT ingredients in the original recipe and it had lots of sugar. Maybe kindly tell people you are giving them 'rog za svijecu'.
Their loyalty card 'point system' got me to the point that I collected not even $10 in spite of over the couple of thousand dollars spent there (each time I spend over $70-$100 and collecting for over 2 years and yet nothing to use???) Very fishy. Time to find something else that works. To bad, this was a great place but not the entire hot dishes part does not work (And please make sure flies do not go to the food).
Having said all this, the last straw was GREED. Yesterday, I went to buy some warm dishes and even though I always buy the meal without their silly side (horrible sides - they only have mashed potato and I am allergic to lactose), they insisted to charge me a full meal and to put the meal in this horrible 3 compartment container. This never happened before and I hope that fake blond and fat lady are happy. And also the owner Dule who was too busy to talk to me. FU! But I also want to say THANK YOU: I spent about $100 weekly so about $5000 a year. NO MORE!
p.s. These guys are calling themselves Croatians. They all are SERBS.
