Stopped by for a late lunch and grabbed a window table facing the castle. Nice view, no argument there. Had the cepelinai&mdash;decent, though I wished they&rsquo;d paired it with something lighter than the usual heavy sauce. A crisp white wine would&rsquo;ve cut through it better. Service was friendly, but the bill felt a bit steep for what it was. Still, the setting carries it.

Best kibinai in Trakai, hands down. Way better than those touristy spots. Prices fair, staff decent. Already thinking about when I can go back.

Solid chicken broth. Hit the spot on a cold day. Waiter knew what he was talking about. Castle view from the table was a nice touch.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed a table by the window &mdash; that lake view really does something. Food was fresh, no complaints there. Had a glass of white wine with the fish, paired nicely. Service was friendly, though a bit slow between courses. Fine spot if you&#39;re not in a hurry.

The lake and castle view is honestly the main reason to come here. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but the portion size for what you pay felt fair. Service dragged a bit when it got busy, but I wasn&rsquo;t in a rush. Would sit outside again just for the scenery.

The terrace view of the castle is exactly like the photos. Had the khachapuri, pretty solid. Service was fine but it gets busy around peak hours.

The beetroot soup here is exactly what you need after walking around the castle all morning. Warm, slightly tangy, really comforting. I had the meat dumplings too, they were filling and solid. Place itself feels like someone&#39;s living room, low light, wooden tables. Not fancy, but that&#39;s fine. Just a quiet, easy lunch.

The kimchi burger was a nice surprise &mdash; worked better than I expected. Ordering through the QR code made things easy, and the food came out fast.

The Black Angus steak was properly tender, cooked just right. Staff were friendly without hovering. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area.

The salmon was solid, and the ribs came out tender. Staff didn&#39;t rush us, which I appreciated. Easy stop if you&#39;re at the Holiday Inn. A glass of their house red paired fine with the meat.

Came for dinner after reading reviews. Food was solid, but honestly the wine list caught my attention more. Had a nice bottle of red that paired well with the lamb. Waiter knew his stuff when I asked for suggestions. Place got a bit loud later, but that&#39;s on us for staying late.

Guinness was spot on and the darts made it fun. Cool spot, though the entrance is a bit of a gimmick.

Salad was actually fresh, not the sad wilted stuff you get most places. Got the chicken one, dressing was light, didn&#39;t drown it. Juices are decent too, squeezed right there. Kids play corner kept my nephew busy so we could eat in peace. Staff left us alone, which I appreciate. Price is fair for what you get.

Stopped by for lunch and grabbed the celery steak&mdash;honestly didn&rsquo;t expect much but it was properly savory, well-seasoned. Place was buzzing, kinda loud but fine. Service felt a little rushed though. Still, that dish alone makes me want to come back.

The place looks amazing inside, like really pretty decor. We went with a few friends and the food was just as good as the vibe. Great spot if you want somewhere that feels a bit special for a casual catch-up.

Stopped by for a quick lunch. Got the vegan plate&mdash;actually decent, not just a sad pile of leaves. Service was fast, food came out in like 10 minutes. Place was a bit busy but whatever. Good enough for a workday bite.

Lively spot with Russian music playing all night. Not the place for a quiet dinner, but the drinks were reasonably priced and poured strong. Fine if you&#39;re into that scene.

Came for the river view, stayed way longer than planned. City lights across the water are really something at night. Food was okay, nothing crazy. My pasta came out a bit lukewarm but whatever. Service was chill, not rushing us. Decent spot if you just wanna sit and watch boats go by. Wouldn&#39;t go out of my way for the food though.

The interior is really something &mdash; different levels, a cigar lounge, just a lot to look at. We came for New Year&rsquo;s brunch and the crispy rice tuna stood out, plus the mix eggs were solid. Staff checked in enough without hovering. Cozy vibe, though I could see it getting loud when full.

Stopped by for breakfast and really liked the fresh avocado toast. The bread was soft, greens were crisp. Place is tiny though, got lucky with a seat. Prices are a bit high for the portion size, but the ingredients felt quality. Service was fine, nothing warm about it. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area and craving something light.

Food was decent, but honestly the service left a weird taste. One waiter was nice enough, the other one acted like we were bothering him. Made us feel kinda unwelcome. For the price we paid, I&#39;d expect at least basic friendliness. Not sure I&#39;d rush back, which is a shame because the dishes themselves were pretty good.

The coffee&rsquo;s solid, and the bagels are fresh. Tried the sun-dried tomato one&mdash;good choice. Place has a nice vibe, bookshelf and all, but it got a bit crowded mid-morning. Fine if you&rsquo;re not in a rush.

The lunch menu here is a solid deal for what you get. Sushi was fresh and the price felt fair. Service was friendly, and I liked that they didn&#39;t rush us.

The blueberry lamb really stood out &mdash; never had that combo before, and it worked. Sweet and savory in a way that made sense. Place had a decent buzz, not too loud. Service was fine, nothing to complain about. Menu&rsquo;s got a bunch of other stuff I&rsquo;d wanna come back for.

The lamb was cooked right, and babaghanoush was decent even if not quite authentic. Space is big and comfortable. Solid spot for a business dinner.

The tuna sashimi was genuinely fresh, probably the best I&rsquo;ve had in a while. We didn&rsquo;t book and almost didn&rsquo;t get a table, so yeah, call ahead. They post the daily menu on Facebook and it goes fast. Just a heads up if you&rsquo;re planning to go.

The margherita here actually tastes like something you&#39;d get in Italy &mdash; soft crust, fresh mozzarella, good tomato sauce. Didn&#39;t expect to find that in Vilnius. Place was busy but I got a table fast. Just wish the pizza was a bit bigger for the price.
