Perfect food, staff at the marina (not ACI but of the restaurant) and at the restaurant itself. Fish is Fresh and restaurant offers quite the variety of dishes. All of them really good. Even though restaurant is a bit pricey, the quality of Food location and logistical services is just impecable and worth every penny.

We approach the staff with a careful approach regarding the prices, since we were concerned that the prices would be too high for our price range. They responded professionaly and offer our group of five a fair price for a decent meal with a local wine. They also took care of one of our group member that preferred a vegan meal. The price also included a place for our boat in their local harbour. Would recommend their service and will come back for sure. We were also offered a drinks to the house.

The fish ceviche selection starter is a house speciality, and we were not disappointed. We got about a dozen different portions of fish prepared in every imaginable way.
Also everything else we tried was also very tasty.
The dinner was very expensive compared to others we had in Croatia (we paid about 2500 for a dinner for four), but being out in the archipelago, I guess the price level is understandable. At least the quality matches the price, so you don't have to pay a high price for mediocre food.

The food was good, delicious but overrated. The waiters don’t here what customers want and deliver what they think is better (and more expensive). The scampi bruzzara tastes good but the scampi weren’t peeled other than ordered and promised. Even they weren’t cut on the back, so peeling them was a disaster and you could not enjoy the pasta with the tomato sauce and the scampi at one time.
And at the end it was all very expensive and we paid 600 euros for 6 people.
Wine ought to be in the fridge but was not and warm. And then they said they have 3 bottles from the same wine but didn’t after we had the second one. Then they tried to sell us the most expressive one.
But if you’re not a tourist you are served in a different way. Scampi’s are peeled and you get what you ordered.
For us the average rate is far to high as the overall experience wasn’t that good, even if the food quality was good.

When you value you customers, you follow rules which keep them safe. Did any waiter in this place wear a mask? No. One waiter had his tied to his apron. Distancing with table placing? No. Then there is the food or in our case lacks thereof. 25 minutes after they delivered my wife’s main, they told us mine would be 2 more minutes. We cancelled the fish and were promptly presented with a bill with it on it. When we told them to take off something they never delivered, it was like they did us a favour. As we were seated at the entrance we got to see a procession of people who had booked in advance for a certain table but it wasn’t available. They clearly know most people will never be back

It is unacceptable that a non-existent amount of food is charged or that large amount of lobster and fish is added unnecessarily. Definitely way overpriced for the quality, but the main issue is that afterwards you feel cheated. If You go there, advice is not to listen waiters' recommendation for the food and also to define exact quantities in advance. Never had experience like there in Festa that waiters' main goal is to make guests overpay.
When ordering, the waiter did not want to bring us the menus and only after the third time asking, we received one menu for a group of 6 people.
For start we orderd various appetizers, most of them were good, not the level expected based on the pricing, but we understand that infrastructure on this type od island is more demanding and this affects pricing. Pasta with shrimps was very good.
The pasta with lobster was very bad and dry, we have never eaten worse. Complete waist of money. Not to mention that the quantity of lobster in pasta was huge, 2 kg of lobster in pasta for 4 persons. And all that after we had really big amount of cold and hot appetizers and said to the waiter that we wanted something light for the main course and he said that they will prepare pasta with a bit of lobster.
Drinks were good. Bar is very nice and cosy.
We don’t mind paying a higher price for high quality, but here that was not the case.
It's a shame that they push guests to overpay unnecessarily, because we as a group od friends would have spent a lot anyway, and we would have left satisfied. Before coming, we were warned by several friend that in Festa they do business like this, so I believe that experience like our is common.
And at the end, we were asked to pay cash. At the bar, not at our table.

We have been visiting Festa for over decade, but this year it was a huge disappointment. Not to mention that dinner has became overpriced, waiters do not know differences between different shells they are offering for dinner. They do not know about wine and food paring, they are offering only the most expensive wines. Be careful, when you are ordering shrimps for a starter you will get 16pcs of it and will pay a lot. My daughter has ordered grilled shrimps for a starter and I have orderd raw shrimps, we got 32pcs of shrimps which is a way to much for a starter. Must be very detailed in ordering food othewise they will try to sell everything. Shrimp risoto is below average. Overall experience- would not recommend.

A beautiful meal - we were lucky to get in as someone else had not turned up. Friendly, welcoming staff and a beautiful location.
Whilst having looked at the menu, we were then guided to the house specialities, and they were stunning. A great fish platter, followed by fish from the bread-oven
Top end prices, but well worth enjoying

The food is overpriced for what you get.
We didn't get menus and the waiter only offered lobsters several times, although we said that we wanted to try something else.
The food quality is not as it should be for that price. Cake for dessert was frozen in the middle, which is unacceptable for that type of restaurant.
Although they claim to accept credit cards, we were asked to pay cash.

Dear Peter, thank you for your recenzion. We are sorry to hear that you were unsatisfaded with price but you must be aware that our restaurant is on the excotic location on the small island withouth electricity and water, with no public boath lines, so our prices are higher than in the mainland. Your critics are welcome, and we are trying to be better every day in our buissnes. Best regards!

If you look for a place where fine dining is a priority - this place is it. After mistaking an order the restaurant staff hasn’t hesitated to compensate us with a huge plate full of desserts. Besides, the menu and the food were incredible and the atmosphere went beyond our expectations.
We will definitely come again.

There are no words to describe how good this place is! Amazing food, incredible service and an all around great experience. We started with some apperitivo and got wellcomed by an amazing barman who created amazing cocktails and awesome attitude. Such a fun start to a great experience. The restaurant has a nice beach and a playground so the kids have enough to do while parents enjoy the good life. We then moved to the dining area and were greeted by another charismatic waitor Nemanja. The restaurant has a great choice of seafood and grill but we decided to go for the suggestions by Nemanja. Cold starter, mix of fish, squid, lobster, etc carpaccio with truffles and lots more. It was amazing!!!! Explosions of taste, greatly balanced and accompanied by amazing white wine. One of the highlights was a lemon sorbet with pumpkin oil. Sound strange? It was incredible. A surpise that left us all wanting for more and we were not dissapointed. Following was a fish brodet and a seared John Dory in a creamy butter, truffle sauce and a mind blowing shrimp/parmesan sauce. As mentioned. It was extravagant and delicious. Although we sere full we opted for the dessert platter - a mix of desserts inckuding a cheesecake, carrot cake, chocolate mousse and incredible sorbets.
All in all. A most worth while trip, worthy of a detour or as a planned journey in itself.

What a great place! We arrived by boat and stayed with the family in two tents. It’s glamping! The tents are in between the olive trees and has a great deck with deckchairs an in the tent us a comfy bed and all is nicely decorated. The showers and bathrooms are in a separate building and are beautifully designed. The restaurant is great but not cheap: fresh fish all over. The breakfast plate was one to remember: a big sharing plate with stunning food like an asparagus omelet and an egg with octopus. Don’t forget to order a freshly made juice. The staff was super nice, especially Mia who helped getting my daughters shoes back swiftly. You Must visit festa!

Went with friends in August. Arrived at the restaurant for 1330 with just a few tables busy at that time. Took several minutes for someone to come and welcome us and show us to a table. It took 30mins for someone to come and take our order… another 1h to get our starters (after asking where they actually were) which were fairly simple but amazingly poorly executed (cucumber salad was composed of very roughly cut slices of a cucumber thrown in a bowl with nothing else … no condiment, sauce, herbs of any kind) …. Our main dishes arrived another 1h later after again requesting them… was mixed … very good fish …. So so meat …. Grilled vegetables arrived raw …. We waited so much that we had 3 changes of waiters ! Overall not the nice, welcoming experience that we always have in Croatia !

The place is lovely and the food was excellent and in large quantity. The service and staff was also very pleasant. So this would normally deserve a 5 stars. It was just extremely expensive. Maybe the price includes free of charge moorings of the boat? Our boat was not moored at this place so that may explain our reaction
