Decent spot for a quick bite. Got the seafood plate, portions were solid for the price. Not amazing, but fair for what you get around here. Place was busy but service kept up fine. Wouldn&#39;t go out of my way, but if you&#39;re nearby and hungry, it does the job.

The sea bass with chard and potatoes was really good&mdash;flaky, well seasoned. My partner had the mixed grill and honestly it could feed two people easily. We sat outside, the setting is lovely. Staff were friendly, not pushy. Only thing, we waited a bit for the bill, but no big deal. I&#39;d come back for that fish.

The tuna steak was really good&mdash;cooked just right, one of the better ones I&rsquo;ve had. But honestly, the portion felt a bit small for the price. You&rsquo;re paying for the view too, I guess. Terrace seating does look out over the sea, so that helps. Fine for a one-off, but I wouldn&rsquo;t call it a deal.

The pizzas here are legit, like proper Italian style. I got the octopus too and it was super tender, really well done. Place was pretty busy when I stopped by but the food came out quick enough. Solid spot if you&#39;re craving something simple and done right.

The truffle pizza is still as good as the first time I had it. Cuttlefish risotto was solid too. Fresh ingredients, you can taste it.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Čevapčići were solid, simple and tasty. Portion was big enough that I didn&#39;t need anything else. Price was fair, nothing crazy. Place gets busy around noon, but the food came out fast. Good spot if you want something grilled and no fuss.

The wine list surprised me&mdash;good selection for a place that leans creative. Food was solid, though I&#39;d skip the tasting menu if you&#39;re hungry. Portions are on the smaller side.

Fresh fish done right, and the price was fair for what you get. Location&#39;s easy to find too. Place has a modern feel but nothing fancy. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area.

We went for a late lunch, place wasn&rsquo;t too busy. Grilled calamari was properly done, not rubbery. Tuna was fresh too, decent size for the price. Service kept it simple, checked on us once, no hovering. Portions are generous, we actually couldn&rsquo;t finish everything. Would come back if I&rsquo;m in the area again.

A bit pricey for what you get, but the food quality held up. Had the grilled octopus&mdash;cooked properly, tender, not rubbery. Service was warm without hovering. Place was busy but not chaotic. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again, though maybe skip the starters to justify the bill.

Came back here every night for the live music. Drinks are the best value in the old town, no contest. Staff remembered us by day two.

Been here maybe four times now. Portions are seriously big, and the food&#39;s got proper flavor. Prices are a bit steep, but honestly you get what you pay for. Staff always friendly too. That&#39;s why I keep coming back.

Nice spot in the park, playground right there for the kids. Cuttlefish risotto was solid. Staff friendly enough. Fair price for what you get.

The fries were seriously crispy, like you could hear them crunch across the table. Burger was solid and filling, price felt fair for what you get.

Came here for lunch and the pancakes really stood out. Fresh, fluffy, not too sweet. I liked that they didn&#39;t drown them in syrup. Place was quiet enough to actually enjoy the meal. Service was fine, nothing fancy. Would go back just for those pancakes, maybe try something else next time.

Decent fish place. Had the grilled sea bass, bit dry honestly. Terrace looks out onto the bins which kinda kills the vibe. Food was okay, nothing crazy. Fine if you&#39;re nearby and want seafood, wouldn&#39;t go out of my way.

Came back here again for the truffle steak&mdash;still as good as the first time I had it. The creamy shrimp pasta was solid too. Staff didn&#39;t hover, just checked in when needed. Food came out fast even though the place was busy. It&#39;s the kind of spot I keep going back to when I don&#39;t want to overthink dinner.

The outdoor seating with bean bags is what got me. Super comfy for just hanging out and having a drink. Portions are decent too.

The seafood platter for two was fresh, and the tuna steak came out just right. Nice vibe inside, though the seating felt a bit cramped. Good spot if you&#39;re after seafood.

Came back the next day just for those chicken nuggets again. Honestly, the fries were still crispy, not soggy at all. The strudel was good too, not too sweet. Service was fine, friendly enough. Only thing is the place gets a bit crowded around noon, but worth it for the fresh ingredients.

Lovely quiet spot &mdash; the pool area was really nice and rooms felt properly soundproofed. Stayed here for a few days and it was just what I needed to switch off. Would come back again.

The terrace here got a fresh renovation and it shows&mdash;lots of greenery around, feels like you&#39;re not even in the city. I had the octopus with Swiss chard, which was a nice new try for me. Pizza&#39;s still solid too. Staff were friendly enough. Just wish the seating was a bit more comfortable, but that&#39;s minor.

The calamari was spot on&mdash;crispy, not rubbery at all. That&rsquo;s usually the test for me and they nailed it. My friend got the cuttlefish risotto and it looked amazing, she barely talked while eating it 😄. Place was pretty chill for a catch-up, not too loud. Would come back just for that squid honestly.

The black truffle pasta was the only thing that mattered. Creamy, salty, actually tasted like truffle, not that fake oil stuff. Portion was big enough to share but I didn&#39;t. Price was fair for what you got. Skip the email reservation thing, just call them. Took a while to come out but whatever.

Solid seafood right by the water. The fish was fresh, cooked simply. Warm bread with olive oil came first, nice touch. Istrian beef was decent too. Service was fine, not overbearing. Prices a bit high for the area, but you&#39;re paying for the view. Would sit outside again.

The tuna bowl was so fresh, honestly one of the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. We sat outside right by the water and it made the whole thing feel way more chill. Service was quick too, which I appreciated since we were just hanging out with friends. Maybe a little pricey but fine for the spot.
