"What a lovely praceful place to dine in Montenegro. Food was amazing, waiter was attentive and polite, they made us feel really welcome. Wild ducks and geese swimming around the river and pond: what a sight to see! Fish starter plate was the best choice we made! Make a reservation before arriving because this place is popular. It works from noon. Dogs are welcome ❤️🐶 Prices are a bit higher than average, but definitely worth it!"

"We went there just to have one drink and enjoy atmosphere a little bit because we already have plans to eat somewhere else. I told to the host or waiter I'm not sure that we just gonna sit for a drinks and that's it. They gave us very bad table because we wanted just drinks even though they had plenty of tables empty. It wasn't even peak lunch time or anything like that it was almost five o'clock and we told them that we will stay just for like half an hour. They didn't seem to care. We were literally seated in front of the restaurant at tables that didn't even looked like they are for guests. Waiter didn't check on us at any point we were trying to call him to pay for like 15minutes. So at the end i figured out that he left our check at small table nearby and we just left money and leave. I was pretty disappointed with this experience and i didn't expect such treatment. But that aside, nature is unreal, you really need to see that. Such a peaceful place with a lot of birds enjoying in beautiful environment. Ducks are so adorable and we even saw little ducks 🙈🙈 All in all i still think you should visit this place but order food because you'll be treated much better for sure i could see how they act around people that had lunch there."

"We visited from England in September 2025 and had a fantastic meal. The surroundings are absolutely beautiful, it was a privilege to visit. We enjoyed exploring the stunning gardens. The food is mainly fish based and was uniformly delicious - simple and perfectly cooked. The service was hands down the nicest and most refined we have experienced in the entirety of Montenegro. Overall: a really special evening. I would ignore some of the other more negative reviews which don’t seem to “get” how to behave in a up market restaurant like this."
