    I've been going to this place for years with my parents, and it never ceases to impress! The live music, the waiters, and the food quality are flawless! I really recommend the fish soup, as it's a special Romanian dish that you just must try. My American boyfriend adored it. It is, indeed, a bit on the pricey side, according to Romanian standards, but it's actually very decent for a foreigner.

    I asked for trout and I received carp 🤣🤣. I waited 30 minutes for french fries (I saw how they brought the bags of frozen potatoes from Kaufland). How much does it cost ... big disappointment.

    The food here was always good and tasty. Fish soup, fried fish, grilled fish, and so on. I have not tried every item but I hope they are as good as the ones I tried. The prices are medium, definitely not low so be prepared. The staff was always friendly, asking if everything is OK for us, which is a nice touch.

    (Translated by Google) One of my favorite restaurants in our neighborhood Giurgiu. Sometimes with friends we cross the Danube border just to go to the Pontona Restaurant and see our hometown of Rousse on the other side. I do not speak Romanian, but we always manage to get to know the staff. Lately, I have also motivated my friends from Ruse to visit this nice restaurant. Definitely worth it! (Original) Един от любимите ми ресторанти в съседното ни Гюргево. Понякога с приятели минаваме границата на Дунавмост само за да отидем в Ресторант Понтона и да видим родния си град Русе от другата страна. Аз не говоря румънски език, но винаги успяваме да се разберем с персонала. В последно време мотивирах и още мои приятели от Русе да посещаваме този приятен ресторант. Определено си заслужава!

    Very nice location, literally on a jetty/"pier". Beautiful views of the river and surprisingly large restaurant. We went on a Thursday at lunchtime and it was pretty busy, but we got a table near the water. Menu is pretty expansive, but slightly on the pricey side. Service was fine, though a bit stiff. Food was decent, though not 5-star. Bathrooms were clean, but small and had no hand towels. Overall, a beautiful location, and a restaurant i would recommend for the experience.

    Nice terrace with good atmosphere on the Danube, good food. Tried the fish soup, which was very tasty. In this uncertain times, should try to disinfect better

    Waiter makes me and my date move from a waterside table for four to a two person one for two…. With more than half the restaurant empty, mind you. Coffee was meh, skipped on the food after I’ve seen the customer service.

    Don't have high expectations. Just a pub with mosquitoes, different bugs, including spiders. Few waiters running around, good food and drink tho. So have it your way.

    Great food, I highly recommend the Fish Platter in the image. There's a bit of a waiting time, but worth the wait, especially in the summer on the terrace, overlooking the Danube.

    This is definitely my favorite spot in the city. I love their fish dishes, the view is gorgeous and in summer you can enjoy a beer on the roof. I would give it more than 5 stars if I could.

    Nice place to drink a coffee in the morning. You have a nice view to the bulgarian land and to the Danube. The waitresses were very nice.

  • 4/5 Igor F. 1 year ago on Google
    Overall, it is a nice restaurant near the Danube river. The view is not great, but it is relaxing. The service is good. The staff cares about their customers, and that is visible. The food was tasty - ordered fish, calamari, and icre. The atmosphere is nice. It's a restaurant in a boat format, cruise style. But, it could be better arranged. The bottom floor is messy. The parking is free, but in a street filled with ground holes and made out of dirt.

    Very nice place to eat by the Danube shoreline

  • 3/5 Athanasios - Alexandru G. 10 months ago on Google
    The dish (frito misto) I ordered was a liitle oily, and the mussels had a piece of shell in it. It was good I sense it and didn't injured myself. Otherwise, the vibe is nice as you have the Danube by your side.

  • 4/5 Alfred B. 8 months ago on Google
    Absolutely recommend for any fish lover! You are going to find lots of varieties regarding seafood and local fish! As well as the atmosphere is a very enjoyable one, not too stiff, very relaxing!

    disappointing,this is the second time me and my family try to book a table,and each time they turned us away. once we managed to book a table,we got to the restaurant and were surprised to see that they hadn’t saved us a table. horrible staff,do not recommend.

  • 3/5 Oniga N. 3 years ago on Google
    Acces dificil pe ponton. Scump pentru ce oferă.

  • 1/5 Alina T. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) To avoid! The attitude of the "lady" administrator (employer) towards customers and employees leaves much to be desired. It is not pleasant that after a holiday at the neighbors across the Danube, where all the employees were kind and friendly with tourists, to be greeted with hysterics and shouts in the restaurant. That's not the right attitude when you greet your customers. Shame! (Original) De evitat! Atitudinea "doamnei" administrator (patron) față de clienți și angajați lasă de dorit. Nu e plăcut ca după un concediu la vecinii de peste Dunăre, unde toți angajații erau amabili si prietenoși cu turiștii, să fii întâmpinat cu istericale si țipete in restaurant. Nu asta e atitudinea corectă când îți întâmpini clienții. Rușine!

  • 1/5 Tanase D. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) I went to the "praised tree". I went to this restaurant. Not very full, only 3 tables occupied upstairs. We sat at the table and watched the waiters look at us. After 10 minutes, one was kind enough to bring us the menu. I ordered fish brine. After almost an hour, the order came. What a surprise. Instead of grilled fish, we get fried fish with brine sauce, too sweet for a brine. The fish wasn't even well fried. More quail. Almost cruel. After an hour of waiting. I won't tell you what happened next. I DO NOT RECOMMEND. I would give minus stars but I can't. (Original) Am fost la,, pomul lăudat,,. Am fost la acest restaurant. Nu foarte plin, doar 3 mese ocupate la etaj. Ne-am așezat la masă și priveam cum se uita ospătari la noi. După 10 minute a binevoit unul sa ne aducă meniul. Am comandat saramură de pește. După aproape o ora a venit și comanda. Care surpriză. În loc de pește fript pe grătar primim peste prăjit cu sos de saramură, prea dulce pt o saramură. Pestele nici măcar nu era bine prăjit. Mai mult prepelit. Aproape crud. După o ora de așteptat. Nu va spun ce a urmat. NU RECOMAND. as da minus stele dar nu pot.

  • 3/5 Ana Maria N. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Location ok good food serving ok instead I was speechless when he brought the note to how much a glass of aperol spritz 29lei cost exaggerated, I ordered the product in countless locations and I did not find more expensive anywhere even in Mamaia ? price 18 -22 lei everywhere, one on top of the other was also weakly full of ice and mineral water. (Original) Locația ok mâncare bună servire ok in schimb am rămas fără cuvinte când a a adus nota la cat a costat un pahar de aperol spritz 29lei exagerat , am comandat in nenumarate locații produsul si nu am gasit mai scump nicăieri nici macar in Mamaia ? pret 18 -22 lei peste tot , una peste alta a mai fost si slab plin de gheață și apa minerală.

  • 1/5 Веселина �. 3 years ago on Google
    1. We waited for several soups and two salads to be served an hour an a half and moreover the food wasn't anything impressive. 2. While we were waiting so long our beers and alaminutes to be served tables around us were serviced, people came, ate and left the restaurant.

  • 5/5 Cosmin P. 4 years ago on Google
    Yes, somewhat slow service, but it’s well worth the wait, the food is great. The open parts of the restaurant are a bit windy, you might need a jacket or a blanket. Lots of parking spots available.

  • 2/5 Jurubita M. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It is a beautiful location on the Danube Cliff, with a splendid panorama of the river on which you can navigate boats, ships and cruise ships. I didn't give 5 stars because the service was under any criticism. We had an organized meal, but the waiters were overcome by the situation which is inadmissible. And as a cherry on the cake, at the end, on the payment note I found an extra 40 lei. Granny food if you served anything but fish ... This was from the freezer, not fresh! The overall impression was sad! (Original) Este o locatie frumoasa pe Faleza Dunării, cu o panorama splendida a fluviului pe care navighează fel și fel de ambarcațiuni, vapoare și vase de croaziera. Nu am dat 5 stele pentru ca serviciul a fost sub orice critica. Am avut o masa organizata, dar ospătarii au fost depășiți de situatie ceea ce este inadmisibil. Și ca o cireașa pe tort, la sfârșit, pe nota de plata am găsit un plus de 40 lei. Mâncarea bunicica dacă ai servit orice altceva decât peste... Acesta era din congelatoare, nu proaspăt! Impresia generala a fost jalnica!
