Mixed meat platter for 2 €36 very tasty and good value. Restaurant was quiet as early season and weather mixed so lacked ambiance. Good service.
If you want to have a great time with amazing food just stop by at konoba Štorija and get spoiled, and be honest with your comments. Service is fast and with a smile on the face, despite crowd that knows what to expect. I can only recommend sea buzara for 2 people, you will enjoy it. Owner is also offering his own open wine that goes very well with the food. All in all great experience.
Me and the mother stayed a 5 minute walk from this restaurant. First time couldn't get a table as was past 8.30pm (but booking is available) however if you head down at 7 / half 7 it's always fine to get a table of normally size. The food is lovely and can tell its freshly cooked and effort has gone into it. I had the fish twice, really enjoyed the sea bass and the sides that go with it is a nice change to the normal fries every where else sells. 2 out of 3 nights there was only one waitress working and she wad absolutely brilliant. She worked hard to run that floor, with a big smile on her face at all times even tho working her ass off!
Very friendly, relaxed but available staff, good English spoken. Went for the seafood - no surprises, just the traditional things well done. Grilled, fried, charcoaly, tasty. The four of us went through a mountain of seafood yet paid a reasonable amount. Got a few tips here and there. Credit cards accepted, yay! Pay a visit and do give a hearty tip when around.
Best place in town Me and my wife were lucky to be staying close to this place. So we quickly found it, and since then we only went there. It was just irresistible. The great experience starts with the atmosphere and the staff, and the guys are just fantastic. I couldn't ask for better, friendlier staff than them. Now, the food. Divine. We focused on seafood, and everything we were ordering those evenings was incredible. Whether it's risotto or pasta with seafood, sea bass, or squids, it's all amazing. And probably it was all topped by the fish plate. Make sure you have that! On the very last evening, we learnt that the two waiters are actually the owners, two brothers. Once again, Zhelko and Sinisha, what you have done, what you are doing, you can really be proud of. Thank you for the fabulous experience.
Great food and great portions too. I had pasta with wild boar and it was just the perfect confort food after a long day under the rain (and despite being very hugry, I couldn't finish it all). The waiter was very kind too. Thank you!
Service was friendly and fast. Ordered pork steak in mushroom sauce. It was mediocre, but not bad. The steak could be a bit thinner, and it was quite chewy. After reading other reviews and owner's replies, I will not come back to this place. Apparently the owner is rude to customers and replies to any bad review in a rude and condensending manner. That's not the way to treat your customers. I'm glad I didn't meet the owner!
This was our favourite place to go for a dinner in the area. Tried the sea food, and also the meat dishes and really can't complain. The beer was also good, wife had the wine and was satisfied. The owner was a nice guy, members of the staff smiling and were really nice toward our children. After the dinner we were offered local spirits shots on the house, which was also nice.
