    I really loved the vibe of this place. It's right next to the sea and with amazing view. It has a cozy atmosphere and lot of people visiting this place. I came to know about this place and wanted to try it out myself. The menu is displayed on the entrance to select the dishes and the service is quite fast. I ordered squid rings , mixed sea food gravy, fresh oyster and mussels. I was not really about the squid rings as I felt they were undercooked, but rest all the dishes were outstanding. You guys should try this place out. One of the best sea food restaurant in Lithuania 👍

    The main advantage of this restaurant is the location! Right on the beach, great view! Strange to me - it's not a menu, all information is written on a board by the door. If you want a table inside, it is better to book in advance.

    Amazing location, restaurant is placed basically on the beach ⛱️. It looks cool from the outside, all bright red. The atmosphere is brilliant there, chill beach vibes with beautiful sea views. Food was nice, but after long long wait for our fish and chips to come out, it was not as exciting as it should be. Chips are not chips, but potato wedges, mushy peas are only one tea spoon on some lettuce leaves, instead of a nice solid spoon. Falafels were bland and definitely did not taste like falafel, and I have tasted them in most European countries. ( Paris falafel street makes them right, Sweden has few places with great ones too.) Well service left us much desired too. First girl tried to be nice, but after we asked to change the table, because we didn't want to sit in front of the toilets, she never came back to our table. Other ones did take our order and eventually brought our food to us, but that's about it. So I'll give a good rating only because of the location.

    Absolutely amazing place to visit and have a perfect moment in Klaipėda! Inspiring and cozy atmosphere because you have a perfect view (place is tiny so be ready to share your personal space with the nearest table but it doesn't matter). Stuff is very friendly and happy. We really liked our main dishes (fish&chips, bali bowl) so we went for desserts, which were so delicious. Don't take for granted the fact that on work days you will get the table. We were here on Monday morning and it was full.

    I had tuna tartar, tuna steak and tiramisu and have to admit the tuna dishes were one of the best, which I ever had. The tuna steak was prepared medium rare. I really enjoyed it. Tiramisu was also awesome. Great place for food.

    Great food, nice and informative service, except when I had a problem with egg white which wasn’t properly prepared - was runny and uneatable - he told me it is the way it should be, I disagreed, he was sorry, but did not bothered to take the plate with that to the kitchen to tell them. Overall plates were left on table quite long after finishing eating. Then the rest was very delicious - the thai soup, the mussels (great sauce!), chicken nuggets (with superb peanuts sauce!), pizza Benedict and especially fish and chips with nice sauce and little salad. The place is very nicely located. Worth to try. Definitely!

    Cozy atmosphere. Delicious food- tuna steak is a must, all pizzas are delicious, fish and chips not my favorite. They even hav mussels- quite nice. Polite staff. But if you want to have a good time and experience - you must book the table in advance because it is very very busy place. If you don’t have a reservation- prepare your nerves to wait in a long queue.

    We had a wonderful time here, the location is perfect. We enjoyed every meal we had. I recommend planning the visit in advance and reserving the table. The place is very busy and prepare to wait for the food.

    Interior and exterior worth mentioning. Should look really cozy on summer evenings. Sadly was a bit cold in the winter. Menu only one the wall, no printed options. Food a little bit too greasy, pizza Margheritta definetly with an overdose of garlic. Fish&chips were nice. Nice old school Coke options and drink variety. Too conclude place worth to visit but more like a coffee/tea and desert stop, because main courses is not on the highest level.

    Have you ever seen The White Seal? Well, there is one on Lithuanian Baltic Sea coast. Right on the north side of city Klaipeda. Covered in thick snow and ice. Tartar and chicken curry is delicious and staff is very friendly, customer oriented. Feels comfy, although a little cold inside 😀

    Place where pizza is made for more than 1.5 hours! We stopped by here during the daytime and had to wait very long for simple dishes like pizza, fish & chips, and soup. It seems very strange when children have to wait for pizza for over an hour (unless after ordering the pizza, the chef went to look for firewood for the pizza oven and so on). The dishes were tasty and simple. But definitely not worth waiting for 1.5 hours. Service: while waiting for our food for a long time, the waitress never once asked if we wanted refills on our drinks or order snacks to make the wait more bearable. When we arrived, we were not warned that we would have to wait so long for hot dishes. The building itself is located in an amazing place - by the seaside, so sitting here you can enjoy the Baltic Sea coast and the sound of waves. But this can be done in nearby places where the service and the work of the chefs are smoother and more pleasant.

    Nice place to sit and enjoy the view. First floor is for guests that are interesting in dining. Second floor, which offers the best view functions as a coctail bar. Only good memories.. Sometimes crowded.

    Bizzare experience. First; Food (octopus & tuna steak) was excellent, recommend wine great, food arrived quickly and our server was super friendly and attentive. The lack of a drinks menu is a major minus, especially as the restaurant seems to stock some nice things. Now to the weird part; My wife and myself arrived and was told they did not take reservations (we had planned to go to the beach before dinner and eat whenever we could get a booking) and that the expected wait was over an hour, this despite over half of the tables were empty (50-60 empty seats on ~8-10 empty tables inside and out). Ok, no problems, we stand in line while evaluating our options. As people in line notice that no-one is getting seated, the two groups in front of us get annoyed and leave, having already waited for quite some time. (~8ppl in total) After a while we again asked if we possibly could have one of the empty, clean tables, (maybe we missunderstood something? (we do not speak Lithuanian)), and this time get a yes (~10-15min after being told to expect a 1h+ wait) The only foodmenu is printed on a surfboard at the entrance and our waiter is eager to get food orders in quickly before drinks. (Fair, maybe he knows kitchen is slow and want to work around it?) We are then told there is no drinks menu, but are recommended a vino verde that turns out great. Strange, as this process slows down the ordering process, as well as decreases sales? After a little wait both food and wine appears, food surprisingly quickly. The whole meal is well presented, taste great and we order more drinks and enjoy the sunset. Our entire meal wait staff strolls around at a leisurely pace, while the line outside grows and shrinks as people give up and new arrive to que, meanwhile the restaurant remains under 50% full, sometimes almost empty, and still, almost no-one is getting seated?? The situation is so bizzare that most patrons seated look around confused, trying to make sense of the now outright comical situation. At the very end of our ~3h visit two larger groups with apparent reservations arrived, potentially explaining some of the empty seats, but not nearly enough to explain the several hours of so many empty chairs and disgruntled potential clients. All in all, we saw A LOT of very annoyed people, but our own visit was super, if only very puzzling.

    Situated just 1 min from the beach, Baltas Ruonis offers a surprisingly delightful dining experience complemented by mesmerizing sea views. With outdoor seating, it's the perfect spot to soak in the sights and sounds of the waves crashing ashore. The food does not disappoint either. The steak was flavorful and well-prepared, and the fish and chips brought that classic seaside feel to the table. While the service was amiable, there were moments when it felt a tad slow. However, this is easily overshadowed by the surroundings. For budding surfers, the waves nearby are inviting, and the convenience of having a surfing school and rental right next door is a bonus. All in all, Baltas Ruonis stands as an ideal destination for a post-sunset dinner, where the ambiance and food come together to create memorable moments.

    Service is next level. Food quality is superb. About view nothing much to say. Amazing sea panoramic view

  • 5/5 Edmund S. 11 months ago on Google
    Great food with a beautiful view to the baltic sea. I have just had the tuna steak. The quality was extremely good. And you should definitely try the „white beer“. Staff is very friendly and attentive. I only can highly recommend this beautiful place 👍👍

  • 4/5 Paweł B. 8 months ago on Google
    If you are patient and ready pay extra for view to the sea, then it is place for you. We have waited about 40 minutes for three pizzas, simple dish when restaurant was not fully occupied. Pizza was good but expensive comparing with other places in Klaipeda, here you just pay extra for view to the sea. For a bill we also wanted 10 minutes. In this place you need be patient, pay more than in other places but will get good food. I don’t think it is value for the money you will pay. Simply there is lack of competition in this place.

    My favourite place for a dinner in Klaipeda with wonderful sea view ! Very delicious food, good service, reasonable prices. One recommendation to book table before coming, Restaurant is full along all day :)

  • 5/5 Simas B. 1 year ago on Google
    Lovely place with stunning beach views and incredibly tasty food. Had late lunch with a large company, and everything exceeded expectations. The place itself is small, charming and very homey. Service was excellent, with staff being extremely attentive and helpful to everyone’a individual needs. And then the food started arriving. Wow! From the starters to mains and deserts, we tried majority of the menu items and every single one was a joy. Special mention goes to tuna steak and chocolate soufflé. Kudos to the chefs and servers - you’re doing a fantastic job!

    Food, service and atmosphere were all great. It’s a relaxed and casual sea side restaurant serving fresh international dishes - from Bali bowls to fish and chips you can find anything to your taste. Tuna steak was phenomenal.

  • 4/5 Žilvaras G. 8 months ago on Google
    That time the waiting time was ~60 minutes due to a wedding on the 2nd floor, limiting staff and tables' availability. The food was very tasty, especially falafels.

  • 1/5 Liucija 2 years ago on Google
    Disappointing experience with food and service. I ordered mussels, when I got the food I realised that it has been garnished with coriander. I politely asked for another plate, without coriander as I don’t eat it and I cannot pick it out as t was all over the food. Waiter came back a few minutes later and informed that they will not give me another portion unless I pay for both. I told the waiter that I can’t eat the first portion as it’s with coriander but I was told that I should have told the waiter before ordering food that I don’t eat coriander. Mussels are not traditionally served with coriander, you can expect parsley, white whine or cream but not coriander. When I order pizza I don’t ask if it has coriander as it’s not usually put there. However waiter was not taking any of this, I was told that they always serve it with coriander and that I should have known. I paid for the mussels and left. My favourite part is when I was told I could take the mussels with me as in what would I do with them at home? I was also offered a free dessert as a solution to this issue. I came for lunch and was told to pay for food that I cannot eat, I don’t see how I could fill myself with a dessert, I left hungry.

    Great pizza but fish and chips was soaked in oil. Friendly service tho 👍

  • 5/5 Rytis S. 2 years ago on Google
    Thai soup was absolutely delicious! Crunchy courgette and bell pepper, pronounced ginger, deliciously grilled shrimps (I would recommend the chef replacing those with with the fresh, unpeeled ones) and squid rings, tasty greens and absolutely top - fresh toasted sesamy seeds. I will come back only for this. Otherwise very good vibe with reggae music and nice people. Sea view. Absolutely worth the drive summer or winter. No better place after a winter beach walk or amber hunt. Parking nearby. Be sure you book it in advance - might be busy. Yes, and do order a bowl of white rice with you thai soup. Its sticky its deli!
