Unfortunately this was a terrible experience for us. 2 adults and 4 teenagers. We ordered meet fondue and since it was not listed as starters and price was in range of a meal we expected more. We got maybe 200 gr meat per dish - meaning this was the amount for the two of us.. No spoons for the sauce. No cutlery to eat with. We had to order French fries to eat with it since we do not appreciate just meat without anything to go with it. When we approached personal with the criticism, we we’re brushed off and he just pronounced that this was a starter. Despite the fact that the dish was not listed under started and actually on the opposite side of the menu under main course’s.. No apology was given, not willing to compromise. We were very disappointed overall and went for pizza leaving the restaurant. The most expensive starters we ever had and that is saying a lot coming from Sweden..

Menu sounds very fancy and tasty, but in fact food isnt that good. Cheese fondue tastes of dried provencal herbs instead of cheese, probably they wanted to kill the taste of cheap cheese with it, steak tartare is tasteless, the toppings are previously mixed with meat and you can hardly feel it. Herring nigiri looks Wonderful but its bland with this boild undressed potato. Also everything is quite expensive. I was expecting much more, you can eat much better food in Gdańsk for less money as well.

We stopped for drinks - our break during walking around Gdansk. The location is just perfect - it's one of many restaurants along the Motlava river. For this we give this rating. Otherwise our impression is really negative. I wished for a glass of some proseco but the waitress didn't have any idea what she was serving, even having asked precisely at the bar. Such a shame. I was forced to have a beer ;) Now, we were hoping for some nice time chilling together but... the music spoilt it all. It was terrible. The worst pop - unknown, dull and disturning the chillout we hoped for. Very unfortunate. Not a nice place.

Before yesterday was great with a great service. Wonderful wine card and unexpected orange wine from Plochocki company. However, today was terrible. I did wait 10 minute to get a table (few workers none of clients). I left without any attention from staff. Bad I usually order expensive wine and tope food. Sorry but it was my favorite place in Gdansk.
