    The experience was extremely disappointing; I would never return. Even if this were the only open restaurant in Palanga, I'd rather remain hungry than revisit this place. I ordered a medium burger, but it arrived cold, resulting in an odd experience of eating cold meat. Although the waitress was kind enough to replace it, the second attempt was overcooked to the point where it was tough to cut with a knife. Frankly, I question the quality of the meat as well. After that meal, my stomach rebelled; I am vomiting and taking medication. I feel ill after this dinner, and I still was charged for such experience… My mother also is suffering with her stomach following her meal there. Furthermore, she ordered a fruity tea but received black tea instead. My brother ate pizza and seems to be feeling alright. The whole experience was thoroughly disappointing and ruined our evening. I hope few others have to endure such an experience. However, our waitress was a pleasant person and we wish her the best.

    We went for a late breakfast. The food was absolutely amazing, the service was friendly and fast. Edit: Based on a positive experience, we went to dinner on the same day. This time, the picture was not so rosy. Timing the serving was a challenge, the starters and appetizers came very far apart in time. The main course and the house wine to drink with it were served about ten minutes apart. For my husband's birthday, we both ordered the most valuable dishes on the list, beef tenderloin steaks. If you accept that the €34 portion (in Lithuania) contains a perfectly fine steak in itself, but only potato wedges and a small amount of vegetables without sauce, that's the portion for you. Instead of this very simple and very expensive dish, I recommend you, for example, shashlik dishes, which, when brought to other tables, looked and smelled very good!

    Food looks much better in pictures than it tastes. Cocktails look nicely garnished in pictures, but in real life they are not. The wok noodles were overcooked. The waiting time was long and the cook forgot to prepare the main course in time. Service average. Brought a dirty knife.

    Food was ok, but was served at different times to our table. One guest had already finished his plate when the others had not yet started. A lot of staff and none knew what was ordered at our table which led each time to confusion when the plates were served.

    Welcome to Palanga, where prices are sky high - and the quality is poor. For starters - instruments are dirty, as Im not the first one with this complaint. Potato pancakes were frozen and staight to fryer - 0 taste. Pizza - tornado was a total garbage like a real tornado, tastes only cucumber, very watery. Cold beetroot was ok, but the potatos were undercooked. All prices here are underrated, glass of grape juice is 2.70€ and you get like two proper sips - terribly funny. Regret visiting Palanga

    Super service, offered drinks within minutes of arrival ( very important to an English man) Well cooked and presented food, grilled chicken for me, grilled fish for my wife with lots of trimmings and an excellent cheese box to finish 🤩 would give 6 *s

    Staff was friendly, service was great. What we did not like is not related to this venue, but to its neighbours - music in the neighbourhood was so loud that we decided to leave sooner than later.

  • 4/5 Povilas K. 4 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere in the garden, fun cuban-themed outdoor decorations. We got the “De Cuba Steak” and a pork steak with BBQ sauce. These dishes were the closest ones to actual cuban cuisine that we could find on the menu. Unfortunately the menu itself does not seem as cuban themed as the outdoor decorations. Everything from Lithuanian dishes to their own custom-made pizza was available, but we did not find any “Cuban dish” section. So, while the menu itself is huge, it lacked the most important thing - actual cuban dishes. It would have been very interesting to hear about cuban dishes and get recommendations from the staff, however, even though the service was friendly and quick, all the staff did was simply take our order and bring the plates to the table. So, instead of talking to the staff and learning more about cuban cuisine from them, we had to google this information ourselves, while we were sitting there with the menus trying to choose our dish.

    No doubt, the best restaurant in Palangaa! Great tasting , freshly prepared food, friendly staff. Thank you. Best place for lunch and dinner in Palanga town! See you soon!

  • 1/5 Ramunė �. 1 year ago on Google
    I’m giving only one star, because of the management. The waitress has dropped a glass of dark beer on my husbands jeans and my white Converses, and we haven’t even got a discount. If this problem were handled right, this might have been five star. The Cepelinai were ok, but the spaghetti were too salty. They have a nice garden in the back, but this evening the music was too loud there for my taste.

  • 1/5 Klaudija k. 1 year ago on Google
    The restaurant itself is fabulous and the outdoor area is amazing. My boyfriend and I both got a starter and main each and neither was half finished and the staff didn’t care to even ask if anything was wrong with it. The starter plates weren’t cleared when we got the mains and we had to basically hold our mains as there was clearly no room on the table. The food is not nice at all and the staff look like they are being forced to work there.

    Had a very enjoyable evening, good food. It was their last evening of the season so no beer and some dishes were not available but all our chosen dishes were prepared. Will return.

    1. Almost no chicken, but 5 cucumbers or more in this “burger” 😭 Highly not recommended. 🥲Never visit again. Zero out of 10. Thanks!

    The atmosphere is pleasant, right next to the main street in the courtyard. At certain times there is loud music with the fountain moving in the background. The choice is a average, but quite classic (most with the french fries), does not give a greater taste experience. The price is rather average and higher. The last time, half of the group had to wait 15 minutes longer than others at our table, even though we ordered at the same time, and then we got the cold food - it left a bad impression. Especially when they asked if everything was fine and we had to remind them our order. It seems that these foods were left somewhere.

    Our visit to this restaurant was an absolute delight! The family-friendly ambiance made it the perfect spot for a wonderful meal with our loved ones. The staff went above and beyond, showering us with their attention and making us feel like valued patrons throughout our time there. Their friendliness and efficiency truly enhanced our dining experience. The menu catered perfectly to both young and adult palates, ensuring everyone left with smiles on their faces. Without a doubt, this place has won our hearts for its exceptional family focus and impeccable staff.
