I have the worst experience with this restaurant. I don't recommend it.
We booked a table in advance for the evening. Separately discussed that the table should be next to the water. We arrived, we were offered a table at the back of the veranda, the waiter promised that in 10 minutes they would change seats. Of course, no one moved us even after the reminder.
We sit down at a table without a tablecloth, the waiter removes the dirty tablecloth from the next table and tries to lay it on ours. Let's make a note.
Another waiter comes and asks what we want. We say that we would like to see the menu. Brings the menu. Among what we have chosen, it turns out that most of the positions are not available. Missing was the shrimp riet, one of the soups, a salad, a second category slave, and the bottle of wine we had chosen.
You are invited inside to select the fish. We approach the refrigerator. Recommend the tuna steaks. The tuna steaks look disgusting. We ask if there is sea bass. In the kitchen there are two fish, one and a half and two kilograms. There is no smaller size.
The slaves were not bad, though without revelations. The spinach puree served with it was over-salted. Delicious bread and tomatoes. The wine is mediocre.
The prices on the menu are irrelevant.

The food was delicious, especially the carpaccio with truffles. However, the service wasn’t great at the beginning. We arrived at Zanjice beach by boat, and while everyone else was heading to the Blue Cave, we decided to visit the restaurant. Since we didn’t have a reservation, we just walked in. Surprisingly, the two waiters standing at the entrance didn’t even bother to greet us. When I asked for a table, one of them looked at us as if he was evaluating whether we could afford to dine there or not. Mind you, we were dressed casually in white shirts and shorts. After we were finally seated, no one brought us menus. It was only after about 10 minutes that another waiter came and offered to show us the catch of the day, mentioning that the restaurant’s menu changes daily. We insisted on seeing the menus, and finally, they were brought to us. After that, we had a really nice experience. The food was excellent, fresh, and perfectly seasoned, and the waiter who served us was very pleasant.
The restaurant should be more attentive to its guests and, most importantly, should communicate to the waiters that not everyone who can afford to dine there dresses in expensive clothes. There is no need for them to scrutinize guests from head to toe before even offering a greeting.

Fish Tartare with Shrimp Paté
This restaurant is a little bit of a mixed bag. The location, the service and the quality of the products are top notch. The preparation and presentation are fine but in my opinion do not justify the really high prices. Regarding the meals - we had carpaccio from white fish and prawns as starters - for me flawless and definitely the highlight of the evening. As main course we took catch of the day - a monk fish in a truffles sauce, which was well prepared but not my cup of tea. The grilled option was a scorpion fish, which at the beginning was excellent. However from some pieces I got an extremely bitter taste in the mouth. I thought maybe these are burnt parts of the skin but the taste was so unique that i am now convinced that that was a little bit of liquid from the gallbladder which sometimes gets hurt when preparing a fish. Whatever it was - the taste stayed for several hours in my mouth - something like this should not happen in this kind of high end restaurants and not for that price. So one star deduction for the weak price/value, another one for the somewhat failed main course.
Freah sea food, you can choose a fish and way to cook it. Fish soup is unforgettable
Could be a little slow service

Really a first class establishment. The location is right on the cliffs looking over the small bay. The service is very professional. We selected a fish (you pick out a fish and then pay per kg). They prepared carpaccio, then used the head to cook a great soup/broth followed by grilled fillet.
For those that don’t want to shell out for the fish there are less expensive pasta options. See the menu below.
Patrons can also use their beautiful swimming and sunbathing facilities.

Amazing location for a meal, particularly recommend doing so at sunset. We reserved but could walk-in. A few comments about the narrow roads but very manageable for all drivers if taken easy.
No menu but staff will explain and show the food and pair with sides if you ask for help. All in for the meal, with drinks was 118 euro - can’t complain for the quality! Excellent, well worth a visit :)

I don't know a better restaurant on the Adriatic East Coast. Very nice service. All the translator patiently and answer the all questions. Buoy for our yacht for free transfer to restaurant also free. Food great. A place worth recommending.
Delicious shrimp pâté, pasta with grilled shrimps and homemade bread.
Service was friendly and sunbeds comfy.
Crystal clear sea. If you arrive on a boat, they have a skipper with a rubber boat to pick you up.

Outstanding restaurant, one of the best fish restaurants in my experience.
Freshest fish and seafood nicely prepared.
Try local oysters!
Good choice of wine from local to best French and Italian.
Fresh vegetables from they own garden!
Stunning view, friendly and professional staff.
The. Best. Dining. Experience. Period.
The staff were knowledgeable about the food and they walked us through what they were going to offer us. We picked the seafood and the chef did the rest.
Be prepared for a lot of food! We started with a wonderful local alcoholic drink, a salad, then some carpaccio made of scallop tartar, whitefish, and prawns with truffles. Then we had the best grilled shrimp I've ever had, followed up by a divine lobster soup made from the head of the lobster the picked for us (to die for). The final dish was a lobster pasta that was delicious, but I only had a little of room left from all the courses before it. But, to top it all, the chef prepared some doughnuts filled with Nutella and covered in powdered sugar. Despite the lack of space, I managed to devour 5 of them. I'm writing this the following morning and I am still feeling full.
You definitely have to pace yourself to get through all the food, but the experience was wonderful and the food expertly cooked and crafted.
Aside from the food, they suggested a delightful white wine that paired superbly with the seafood. I'm not a wine guy, but they were spot on with the selection and it made the entire meal that much more enjoyable.
The drive there is a bit of a bear, so the water taxi is a much better option, but the meal, staff, and food are worth it. I've had a lot of seafood in a lot of different places, but this is a meal I will remember for decades to come. I also can't say enough about the staff, they bent over backwards to ensure everyone in our party had enough to eat and drink, and most importantly, enjoyed our time with them. I've never encountered a more humble and attentive staff in all my travels.
This place is a true treasure.
