Went for an early meal before catching a flight so the place was quite quiet. Nice and quirky, just one other table of locals while I was in there. The staff were friendly and helpful. Chose the tuna with a glass of house red and...both were delightful, exactly what I needed before a flight. I thought the meal was extremely good value for money and its location is excellent. Recommended.More

I know this place for several years back and 3-4-5 ago we had almost perfect meals at this restaurant. So since we were there we sat in - looking forward to another great experience - pity this time did not happen. why? here are the...why's... Location on the Cetatii Street - near the Thalia room of the theater of Sibiu. A generous spot frequented by tourists and easy to find . No parking since it is not accessible by car. Food - now here comes the pain. For the starter I ordered a beef tartar - surprise , got a minced meat something, mixed together with onions - I was wondering for a few seconds if I shall end it back to kitchen and pic something else ... still got urged by my girlfriend to taste it - taste was good, even than it looked awful the taste was surprisingly good, also the toast bread - well it was burned - carbonized here and there ... I cleaned the most part of it in order to be able to eat it ... so not the best, that's for sure. Second plate - mash potatoes with an oven backed duck leg - in theory nothing shall be wrong with this dish... once again proven wrong - the duck leg was tasty - nothing to say - backed nicely ... but the potatoes, well different story - with lumps, blunt and resembling to a sort of glue (majority remained on the plate). a bit of freshly ground black or green pepper makes the difference - or a bit of finely sliced green onions ... small but effective tricks ... instead I got a piece of parsley on top of the dish and a generous amount of spiced oil in the plate - what if I wasn't a fan of spicy food? Overall an average combination of food - not great but also not bad ... minor things make the difference between a good and an average plate.... here to many mistakes this time. Prices - well not that bad , if it would have been a good meal - in this case I would say a bad price to quality ratio - especially with so many very good places in Sibiu - to pick from. I hope that they will improve , and I do hope to return in the future and write about excellent dishes and not about mediocrity and average dishes like today.More

great atmosphere on the terrace, excellent food. I ordered mussels with white wind & cream sauce, they were absolutely delicious. A vast portion, had to share the rest out. - but it was easy enough to find takers, as they were incredible.

Extortionate prices for horrible food. There is no kids menu, our kids were served a chicken leg each and mash potato out of the packet. We ordered two Caesar salads which were horrible. It was just salad with some sort of dressing and what felt...like left over chicken which was dry, probably from a previous kids order. We paid 246 lei for two chicken legs and mash potato, two Caesar salads one coke, one bottle of water and two lemonades. There are plenty of other restaurants that serve way better food. Do not be fooled like I was by the lovely building and location it is situated in. The staff are also unfriendly and inattentive. Avoid and save your moneyMore

The person serving us was rude and the food was not what we expected. The pasta was overcooked and a bit oily. The vegetables and the potatoes were supposed to be roasted but weren’t and the meat was supposed to be smoked but wasn’t. The...atmosphere is nice though.More

We arrived at the restaurant at around 19:00 on a weekday. It didn't take long for the menus to arrive but at that point we realized that our table was incredibly close to other tables around us, offering no privacy whatsoever. We settled on the...beef with shrimp pasta and the beef with pepper sauce. First off, the "shrimp pasta" had one piece of shrimp and the rest was a seafood mix. It was alright. Not bad but definitely not worth the 88 lei. The beef was also missing salt. The pepper sauce beef was more decent, served with rucola and "oven baked" potatoes (that were fried, not at all baked) and also still pricey at 80 lei. All in all it's not a bad restaurant at all, but pretty average and not worth the prices they advertise. worth a visit but don't expect anything amazing.More
