When we made the payment, this clown said we could pay in cash from HRK 500. It's pathetic. I advise against this place to everyone. If your waiter doesn't know how to behave after 1 am, maybe it's worth considering who you hire. ( pictures)

    First a young staff seemed not to notice us at all but another server came to our table quickly and took our order. The drinks came quickly and the prices were reasonable. We paid 6€ with the credit card since we didn’t have any KR money with us anymore. We even had a nice chat with the same guy.

    Avoid this place! We only wanted to have a quick stop while Walking in Split but it turned out to be a really Bad experience. We were informed that there was no menu so a waiter told us what drinks were available. We asked to have some good local wine. The one we were given was very poor quality and didn’t match our preferences - a bit sweet instead of super dry. But the biggest surprise came with the check - prices here are a insane. Avoid this place!

    Trust me or not, but the toilet was cleaner than in the hotel even though the bar was full! They really take care 🙂 of the satisfaction of their customers, not just trying to earn money as fast as possible. It was one of the rare places where I left a tip. NB Beware that it looks like they have outside power plugs, but they are not working

    Taking advantage of tourists and overcharged us. Refused card even though other customers were paying by card and gave us an incorrect bill (verbally), when we checked the prices the waiter made an excuse that he accidentally charged us for the wrong measurements and refunded us money, but it was still the incorrect amount. He was making it up off the top of his head

    Beautiful place, beautiful ambient. Definetly recommended. If someone from Antique is reading please get rid of that waiter. Usually service is amazing! Visiting Split? Go check it out!

    Terrible slow service. Staff came in the middle of my iced coffee and asked can I pay and he mentioned that the service is not included. He didn't even ask how it taste or do we need anything else. Poor quality of coffee too. Will never come back.

    Shame...winner of the rudest wait staff member in all our extensive travels throughout Croatia. One star is too much for this joint's service. After patiently waiting for 25 minutes for a waiter to come near where we were sitting we just raised a hand to let him know we wanted to place our drinks order. Well he certainly let us have it in no uncertain terms. We were gobsmacked someone in the service industry could be so rude. Do your future customers a favour and go do some hospitality training.

    The atmosphere is good but the drinks are no good and more importantly the staffs are very rude and insensitive. They asked us to pay in cash 15 euros very rudely and thankfully I had some cash. After receiving the receipt it turned out the bill was 14.40 and not 15. but she just didn’t bother to give a change and ask for a round up number! Anyway, I would have round up m if I was offered the receipt at the first but I didn’t like the attitude of ruddy asking for cash and taking advantage of it. Go there as a tourist if you want to get to know some bar and music culture of locals. Otherwise, stay away from this place.

    This place does not deserve even one star. The waiter didn't tell us about the limitations of paying by card. When we asked why he didn't inform us before about this quite important fact, he replied that his boss told him so in order to have more profits and to make people spend more money in cash. When I wanted to talk to the boss he wasn't even there. The boss's presumption is beyond imagination. Avoid this place!!!

    We came by for a coffee and didn’t expect this visit to be such a disappointing experience. I wouldn’t say a thing if it was only for the waiter’s ignorant attitude. After we finished our drinks the waiter told us that our bill is too small to pay by card. Such things should be made clear before serving anything. When we were looking for an ATM, some of us stayed at the table. One of the waiters made it very clear that their boss explicitly told the stuff not to inform the clients about the cash only policy. What on Earth is this? Just avoid this place.

    Had been told to come here by a local. When we arrived at around 11:30 pm we asked for a drinks menu but the waiter told us he was the menu and what did we want. After drinks were dropped we were informed that card was not taken, even though we saw another server allowing several other customers to pay by card? As we were paying for our first drink the waiter informed us that the tip was not included which we were fully aware of and would have/ did tip. Feeling disappointed.

    The worst waiter ever I met. He ignored and kept us waiting for about 20 minutes in front of the door. When we ended up getting his attention, he said “The tables are full”. But there were at least 5 tables available though. Don’t expect too much things from the manager neither. After having listened to our complains, his reaction was like “So what!”. If you don’t want to ruin your trip, choose another one.

    The waiter was very rude to us for the simple fact that we didn't have cash. Yelling at us saying that you can't pay by card. His name is Bruno. I hope this comment will be useful for the future.

    They do not accept cards, so If you don’t have cash in kunas, you will pay 3 times more. Wine’s price was 5 euro, i gave 50 euros and received the change 33 euros in kunas so I paid 17 euro instead of 5 euro. waiters were rude while negotiating this topic. I recommend avoiding this place!!!!!

    Please don't go to this place. The waiter was extremely rude. I ordered a gin and soda water first but he brought me tonic instead. He tried to pour soda water onto the g&t but I refused and asked him to bring me another gin. At the end, we asked if we can pay by card but he told us cash only. We asked for the bill but he just told us 280krn for 2 beers and 2 gins. We were naive and as we had just arrived at Split and we didn't know the prices. We scamed us big time. I went to look for the manager but people inside the bar refused to help

    The reviews are true I would never go back to this place even if you paid me to. Me and my Partner sat down for a drink each just to relax before we went to dinner, the man serving us rolled his eyes at my partner when he asked for a draught beer, and replied “only bottles”, we shook off the eye rolling thinking he must get it a lot. When it came to paying, the tall male waiter, gave me and my partner a lecture about paying with card saying they don’t get a service fee when you pay with card we aren’t paying for the service and that even coffee shops get a service charge, he aimed most of it at me near on shouting at me, to the point I was so embarrassed I went bright red I said sorry and sort of shrugged as there was nothing we could do as we didn’t have any cash on us, to which he replied with, “it’s easy for you though isn’t it” as if we don’t tip people. We have tipped every place in Croatia so far we have visited as the service/food was 10/10 if it wasn’t for this incident we were thinking of coming back as the food looked good and the drinks were nice but it doesn’t warrant that attitude, maybe if you start treating customers with respect you will be tipped.

    Was refused a place in the restaurant inspite of it being half empty. First the waiters ignored me. I thn specifically asked to be seated. Was denied a seat. No reason given. Suspect it was racism.

    The food was delicious but the waitress very rude and arrogant, was almost throwing plates on our table, and in the end was removing the dishes in a very rude and uncareful way spilling soy sause on my legs without paying attention or saying sorry. It is a pity because the food itself was very good

    Waiter scammed us for drinks prices - made up prices of drinks when it came to the bill and only after making a fuss did he refund us some of the estimated price. We are a young couple only 22 and don’t ever review anywhere so this was particularly bad! Be careful as a tourist of waiters taking advantage of your lack of knowledge of currency and drinks prices!!

    Didn’t actually get to order a drink here because we were left waiting for so long, but when a waiter approached our table I told him we’d tried to order at the bar and before I could finish the sentence he said ‘it’s table service only but okay’ and walked off before I could say anything else. Very rude, very unprofessional and completely ruined the experience of the bar for us. Customer service needs to be a priority and they apparently have none. Atmosphere seemed lovely though, they’ve got some pretty trees

  • 2/5 Julie J. 7 months ago on Google
    Avoid. We thought we were lucky as a table was vacated as we walked up but as we sat we realised there was nothing on the table so the previous guests had probably left after receiving no service. We got a drinks list from other guests and eventually flagged a waiter down. I asked for a glass of water - still or sparkling - no, tap, ignored. Drinks came and we had to pay immediately. Curtly informed the price was without tip. Glass of water please I repeated … he walked off. Therefore, no tip. Surly, slow, unpleasant service. Nicely decorated bar. Shame. Later moved on to In Momento caffe bar where a glass of wine was delivered together with a glass of ice and - yes! - another of water without even having to ask, as was the norm across Croatia.

    nice location on the riva, very good cappuccino but the wine glass wasn’t clean (and this is a big minus) + they don’t accept payment by card for amounts that are considered “too low”.

  • 1/5 Daniel N. 9 months ago on Google
    Don't waist your time going to this place. The reviews are very true. The waiter was super rude. Waiter demanded we paid immediately, stood over the table menacingly while we figured out the bill and passive aggressively corrected us when we did not tip enough while also telling us in a rude manner that the tip was needed. We don't mind giving a tip, but the tip will reflect the service. We tipped very generously everywhere else that day in Split, but not to this guy

  • 2/5 T C. 7 months ago on Google
    First thing we asked as we walked in was if they accepted card payments. The answer was a resounding yes. When we went to pay, however, we were told they didn't have a card machine. Iced coffee looked absolutely nothing like the menu, and tasted bad. Service was alright, and toilets were good.

    We were there for lunch and we had some sushi and drinks. It was good and tasty.. the waiter was not that motivated and friendly, that’s why we gave them 1 star less :)

  • 5/5 Dani C. 1 year ago on Google
    Best sushi ever! Lava cake was also amazing. Loved the dinner there the food, the ambience, and the waitress was very nice.

  • 1/5 Mathilde L. 1 year ago on Google
    Waiter not at all friendly to see haughty, who takes customers high while it is tourism that brings them money, very expensive for what it is and more disgusting. He even refused to divide the bill into three, even though nothing forbids it! There are plenty of bars around so go your way!!!!

  • 1/5 Filip B. 1 year ago on Google
    We ordered cocktails, but after few minutes waiter came back and said there are no mint leaves. We changed our order from mojito to amaretto sour and pina colada. Both cocktails were disgusting.

    Only went here for a night out, and the only thing that bothered me was a lack of seating. You're basically forced to be on your feet, which is great when you're dancing, but you can't sit or put your drink down, unless you have a table reserved (which is also 'chairless'). Otherwise, great music (you will leave the place half deaf) and atmosphere. The bartenders are quick and friendly.

    Amazing and professional staff, beautifully decorated with lovely waterfront terrace perfect for morning coffee. Excellent evening vibe, mix of locals and foreigners,wide selection, decently priced drinks.

    Best Tuna salad ever! It melts on your tongue.

  • 5/5 Clara K. 1 year ago on Google
    Very nice, quick and good looking service, tasty coffee and a beautiful view. The prices are a bit higher than in other bars but it’s very worth it. Would love to visit again :)

  • 4/5 QuqyLara Q Y. 1 year ago on Google
    Everything is perfect except a very unpleasant waitress with blonde hair, she’s very rude and looks at you as if it’s your fault that she has to work there. Also, prices are pretty high for the amount (quantity) of food that you get but the food quality is good. Everything else is good it has a perfect location in centre with a nearby parking and very very delicious food.

  • 5/5 Maxime B. 2 years ago on Google
    Great terrace, lovely waiters and tasteful cocktails! Plus you can have a good shisha

  • 5/5 Drew R. 2 years ago on Google
    If you're looking for a place to get a drink and 1Kn looseys, then look no further. This place has everything: outdoor seating, house music, chairs, and 1Kn cigarettes. Five stars.

    The sushi was awesome! The best I've had in a long time. Not many different nigiris but the rolls were fantastic. Very nice staff.
