The restaurant is roomy, with interesting additions everywhere. Here you don’t have to lean up against the big semi circle bar. There are comfortable tables and stools placed at spacious intervals around the bar. Allowing you and your party to enjoy pre dinner drinks, simply sliding your glass onto the bar for a refill.

The food here is absolutely divine. Menus were offered, however so was the opportunity to leave the meal choice to Andreas. We opted for the latter, which saw us receive cleverly designed entrees including, seafood, stuffed olives, gourmet meats and general tapas.

Main meals consisted of the specialty slow cooked beef which when tasted, was an amazing tender meat, accompanied by lightly flavoured vegetables designed to tantalise the taste buds, Croatian style.
