    Sad experience, totally okay to avoid. Dry aged t-bone steak wasn't tender at all and the taste was mediocre. Steep price for the quality.

    Went in for lunch, has a steak. Meant to be dry aged, definitely wasn't. Was so chewy it was shocking. Took me an age to cut through with the knife and my jaw and teeth were hurting for hours after. Really flavourless, chewy. Poor. Don't go.

    Resto named "steak house", but New york steak was quite bad - half of it wasn't chewing. we asked for a discount for the steak and it was removed from the check. beer in the large beer mugs smelt awful, probably did not clear well. So food was not enough. Vegetables (potatoes, carrots...) were normal and for these second star.

    A good steak in the historical city center, but in a calm, quiet place. Perfect.

  • 2/5 Julian P. 9 months ago on Google
    Nice ambience inside and outside. Prices are high for Sarajevo. That's how the food looks... sadly the taste is worse than average. Pasta was too sweet, not tomato-fruity at all. Also homemade lemonade was not drinkable as it was super sour. Sarajevo has so great food to offer. So please don't waste your money here.

  • 5/5 Adeyum64 7 months ago on Google
    We didn't buy a steak but rather something like chicken strips. That was very tasty, even the potato chips with the sour cream sauce! Service was pretty good too, the waiter absolutely knew what he was doing. The ambience was mostly fine, it felt like something was missing. Would recommend it though!

  • 5/5 Matthijs 6 months ago on Google
    Lovely, perfect steakhouse in Sarajevo city center. They are wonderful people with a heart for service and hospitality. We had to come one day later, because the meat was not yet properly aged - they want to make sure we get quality. We felt very welcome and really enjoyed the service (and the raki). I would recommend this to anyone looking for a big, good steak dinner. Thanks for having us!!

    The server was nice & accommodating when we asked for local wine & beer recommendations which we enjoyed. However, the experience went downhill when our tomahawk was served. The meat's texture was not tender at all that our jaws were in pain chewing and the other server just told us "I'm sorry to hear about it."

  • 5/5 Jibby_04 10 months ago on Google
    Malaysian here. This is our 9th visit. Ahhhhh! We really love the foods! Especially the tomahawk;medium well! Veal soup is a must too!

  • 1/5 Pantry W. 1 year ago on Google
    Sad experience. The steak (we got Dallas cut) was not tender at all. It was rough and chewy, so much so that I hurt my jaw. The waiter denied that it could possibly be chewy - it was fresh meat, he said. But on the menu it says the meat is dry aged, so which is true? For a steakhouse, the priority is flavour and tenderness. Neither hit the mark here. I've had better steaks from your average chains back in London like Gaucho, 100x better than the apparently premium one I was served here. Please avoid!

  • 3/5 Šimon F. 1 year ago on Google
    My teriyaki chicken was just simple ketchup. Some other friends had it similarly low quality, some had it better but NOT WORTH IT FOR THE PRICE!

  • 5/5 Cr7 L. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was very delicious, the waiters very friendly and the waiting time was also totally okey! Would definitely recommend it!

  • 5/5 Emina Bojku P. 2 years ago on Google
    Absolutely a pleasant experience! Really good dry aged Steaks at reasonable prices, as a New Yorker I had to write a review because I was amazed! The ambiance is lovely and cozy - great for two top or even large groups...even dining alone the staff makes you feel welcome. I highly recommend this restaurant- you wont regret it!

  • 5/5 Phil M. 1 year ago on Google
    Had a very good bone in aged steak (Dallas) and some excellent house red and white wines served in good wine glasses for dinner. Ate outside but the interior looked perfect for a special dinner. Service was excellent, attentive without being overly so, and my friendly, helpful waiter spoke excellent English. Prices are quite high but then so is the quality. However the portion of potatoes and vegetables that accompanied my steak was miniscule and seemed miserly for a 40 BAM price. That and the fact that credit cards are not accepted were my only complaints. Had they accepted cards I would have ordered more wine, dessert and coffee so it seems like a missed opportunity for them.

  • 5/5 Vedad M. 2 years ago on Google
    The food is amazing (make sure to try the pizza). Interior is very beautiful and comfortable. Definitely a place you need to visit in Sarajevo.

  • 5/5 Hamdan A. 2 years ago on Google
    Simply the best food in old town. Setting is great and food is fantastic. Highly recommend

  • 4/5 Pino N. 1 year ago on Google
    A good experience for meat lovers! We had the Tomahawk steak for 2 people and it was more than enough food. Service could have been better though. Do NOT eat seafood/fish (we had butter shrimps for appetizers and it wasn't fresh.)
