Worst meal ever - after complaint the response was just “nobody else complained”.. no apologies, nothing. Really overrated, don’t go there unless you’re masochistic, sauce taste still remains on my tongue an hour later….

We stopped at a wine festival in Melnik while on holiday in Prague, but didn't want to eat at one of the food stalls, so we wandered around and found Na Hradbach and we're so happy we did. The young waiter spoke English so we...were able to order without problem, the decor was honest, not Disney version of Europe. I had the mushroom risotto and it was fantastic. Overall a great experience!More

I decided to take several days to write this review since I beleive that it wouldn't be fair to write it with the heat of the situation. Last 5th of August I got married with my partner in Melnik and we decided to book a...table in Na Hradbach, obviously informing them that it was a wedding (small wedding, less than 15people), they offered us to put music and to break a plate (apparently a tipical Czech tradition), we were informed that they did not had cake service so that we could bring ours without any problem, and we did, until that point everything was fine and they were nice with us. The problem came at the wedding day, we arrivied and we were the ONLY table at the restaurant meaning that basically they did not had any other worries at that moment, we were received by a rather rude "I don't care" attitude waiter that did not approached us at any moment until we did asked if we could seat on the table, that it was obvious by the lenght of it, but apparently he did not had a look to the obvious wedding dress or to the well dress people under the hot sun, because there was not reception of any kind, or the "breaking plate" ceremony as promised, but that is just a hint of what was going to happen. We sat on the table and basically we had to wait around 10 min until somebody came to bring the menues and ask if we wanted something to drink (still we were the only table at the restaurant), once we told him what we would like to drink it took another 10-15 min to bring it to the table and forgetting some drinks on the way that we had to reorder. Obviously we ordered some champaing to cheers for my wife and health for us and our marriage, but definitely I was shoked when the champaing got to the table and we had to pour the drinks by ourselves and even ask for a bucked with ice and water to keep it cold (that it is a BASIC thing to bring at the table, when ordering this kind of things), still we decided to move on and not to make a deal out of it. At this point I beleive that it is worth to mention that both, me and my partner, are working in hospitality for over 10 years, from waiters/waitress to managers, so when I am complaining about the service provided is with knowledge and reason. Let me continue with the experience, after that, we oredered food, that I must say, it was amazing! The problem came again when we wanted to reorded drink, once again the table did not got any atention from the rude waiter or from the apparently more simpathetic waitress, at that point there were another 3-4 tables at the restaurant with an average of 2-3 people each, that came progresively so there was no rush time at any moment, well, we oredered our drinks and AGAIN we had to wait extremely long time and AGAIN there where drinks forgoten along the way, without mentioning the waiter holding the tray with both hands while putting his finger on the top of the glass (where you drink from) to don't drop it... and obviously resting the tray on the table. Also, I beleive that it is important to mention that on the toilets there was no soap for the hands or paper to dry your hands, that is a basic HEALTH measure, and we arried at 11:30... right after they opened, meaning that no one checked it during the whole day. Going back to the "service", this kind of rude attitude and faces from the waiter where continues and annoying, but we decided to enjoy our day, or at least try it. We've been there before the restaurant had another tables and we were there after the restaurant had no tables other than ours, still the service was having 0 attention to us. When we decided that was enough we went to pay and proceed to give our feedback, always respectufuly becasue we work on the industry and we know the situation, to my surpise instead of taking the feedback for the OBVIOUS misbehaviours and the lack of service, the waitress that untill that moment was the normal one, started to deflect the reality of the situation and try to justify herself by saying that they are alone and that the waiter is new, when we mentioend to her the attention issues the answer was that "if you want attention to your table you should book the restaurant to yourselves" and that at the end she does not really care becasue she is only a waitress (which is ridiculous and outrageous), despide our nice and kind approach to their rude and unrespectufl attitude she decided to leave mid conversation, another prove of the poor and sad customer service offered by the restaurant. NOW, I speak directly to the manager or owner of the restaurant, by experince I will give you a tip that I highly recommend you to take it. When you are having a wedding becasue you know that it means money, make sure to have the right capacity of manpower to handled it and bring the attention that they deserve, definitely don't put the new guy to serve the table, if you cannot cope with it DO NOT TAKE IT!. Be at the restaurent, be responsable for it, specially if there is an event ongoing, don't leave all the responsability to a waitress and a new guy. Take ownership of your mistakes.More

This was a very nice experience in Mělník - eating was very good and service was kind. Great pasta and salmon as well. Delicious chocolate cake! Joyfull evening here.

Nice restaurant in the main square of the pleasant town of Melnik. The nice interiors have arched stone walls and heavy wooden tables. The Menu (available in English and German too) includes traditional food which was excellent , very kind service and reasonable prices. All...in all, a very good choice.More

Centrally located in Melnik's romantic town square this restaurant offers in- and outdoor seating in a historic ambience. It was built on the walls of a medieval fortress. We liked the menu which offered local specialties and drinks at very reasonable prices. We had marinated...beef with bread dumplings and pork neck with potato dumplings and kohlrabi. Both were tasty meals and the portions were of good size too. This restaurant is certainly worth a visit when you are in town.More

Amazing place , nice decoration and the staff is very kind and smiling. I suggest this place and for sure I will come again here . Elidjon and Petra !

The attractive courtyard setting, just off Melnik's main square, would have been nice on a warmer evening, so we had to chose a table in the cosy interior. Happily there is an English language menu to make things easier, and we went for mains of...duck and wild boar. These were both filling meaty platefuls (as seems to be the Czech way), though not as prettily presented as the photos outside the restaurant try to suggest. But the service was good and the meal was decent value as well. By the way, they don't accept credit cards.More

We were given a recommendation to try this restaurant on our one night passing through Melnik on a cycling trip between Prague and Dresden. It turned out to be a great recommendation, with an interesting choice of food which we found to be cooked to...perfection. We’re not great fans of all the pork that seems to be a staple of Central European cuisine so opted for chicken with pak Choi and baked potato. It was lovely and we rounded the meal off with delicious and beautifully presented pavlova. This is a very good restaurant and good value too.More

This place has a lovely little garden where you can eat when the weather permits you to stay outside. I also liked the fact that like the other restaurants in the center square it does not face in the square itself and it's more hidden...and quiet. Service was good and food came quite fast. The ladies there speak English and also the menu is translated in English and German so you do not need to Google translate or ask for the waiter to translate. Food was good and tasty with big portions. Even the kids menu, the chicken that we took was sufficient enough for a kid to be full. Prices I would say are more or less similar to Prague, definitely not the cheapest restaurant in town. Expect to give for 3 main courses (out of which one for kids) and something to drink around 30 Euros. Might not be much in Euros but for the locals not on the cheap side. All in all we were satisfied with our choice and would definitely recommend it and probably visit again if back in Melnik.More

Czech food is generally pretty reliable and predictable but this restaurant was a cut above the usual. I had trout with lentils - described as black lentils but they were red. Didn't matter, it was delicious- lovely delicate flavors and beautifully presented. My partner had...roast pork with pomegranate, onion bread and the ubiquitous sauerkraut but he was very happy with his meal too. Service was great and the courtyard is very pleasant.More

Nice intimate courtyard to enjoy a summer’s evening. Friendly service, good food, excellent local beers.
