Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

We found little hair in both plates but we didn´t want to make a scene so we continued our lunch. Then, my girlfriend discovered that there was meat letftover in her vegetarian risotto. We confronted staff about our experience on the spot. Nobody cared. No...refund. Staff behaved like it was our fault.More

I asked for simple food. 2 of us asked for the same. Only one of us received it. I asked again to get me the same as my friend. Unfortunately after the 3rd try I still haven’t received what I asked for. I told the...waiter politely it’s still not what I wanted but I accept. The waiter started pulling faces and was rude. I honestly don’t understand his behavior.More

Bryndzove halusky was terrible. The halusky way to soft, a weird after taste. I was really dissepointed since this is my favorite dish, tables not cleaned. And my girlfriends dish was to much salted with almost no meat in the plate. Really dissepointed. I do...not recommend.More

Poor service, worse than average food. After 10 min staff dis not even notice us. My duck breast risotto was nothing more than cooked rise with very few pieces of (most probably) duck. The only thing kitchen managed were french fries for our little one.

When you want to eat in a nice, cosy and local atmosphere, this is the right spot for you! We tried seasonal menu, which was average good, and we liked the service and location (though quite main-street-car busy). Toilets very (under)average. Ambiente great though!

Really bad. 😕 Uncooked salmon, uncooked fries, no taste, weird colour, pasta floating in water. A woman by a table next to us said it was the worst restaurant she has ever been to and she was not far from the truth. The service was...okay, though.More

The prices are exaggerated for quality provided. Average salad, average main course. Non existing wine card, rude and helpless waitress. She actually encouraged us to leave instead of ordering dessert and coffee because she was too busy with another table. Better to avoid this place...👎More

I ordered a salad and I got a not washed salad, dirty tomatoes and a little bit parmesan without any spices, oil, dressing. Just imagine plain salad and cheese. Food wasn’t CHEAP.... quality TERRIBLE

Nice place on the excellent location. They have interesting menu but only on the paper. The chicken broth was average nothing special. We had also “bryndzove halusky” which is the Slovak specialty- potato dumpling witch sheep cheese “bryndza” and bacon, but it was barely without...bryndza 😏 and tasteless. Service was quick and gentle. Coffee was terrible. Nice place, good service but not worth the money.More

This is very sorry for us, we are surprised. Bryndzové halušky are stably evaluated very high and bryndza we give more than usual. If you have another experience, we apologize and learn about the remedy.

Things got off to a bad start when the waitress messed-up our order completely. My wife had to walk in from the terrace and go through the whole thing again. The food was poor. Tepid dumplings and pork cutlet at nearly 10€ was disappointing. Large...salads, but the idea that we might want some dressing or other condiments seemed to surprise the lack-lustre staff. Finally, we got caught by the fish by the kg listing on the menu (our fault I'll concede). All added up to 38€ for a very underwhelming early evening meal. Don't go.More
