We visited this place several times in November 2022 and the food service was wonderful. The price and quality that was at that time was perfect, I wanted to come there again and again, the cafe was packed out of season, music was playing and people were dancing.
Arriving now in the season, we were shocked… We went into the cafe and everything was dead, there was no one, we realized that the cafe was open with the lights on at the reception, we called someone, no one answered, but since we really wanted to go to our kind place, we just sat down at the table and decided to wait until someone appeared and in vain… Some guy called out to us and asked if we would order, I replied that we would, a woman came up with a maximum dissatisfied look and accepted our order.
Regarding the order, we took dolma, caesar and mojito, these are the positions that we took before and we have something to compare with. They brought mojito initially, if you can call it that, threw ice into mojito-flavored lemonade and that was it (last time there was soda with mojito syrup, with a bunch of mint in a glass and lime, it was gorgeous). Next, caesar was brought to us ... they just chopped up a huge tomato, threw in a salad, raw chicken and seasoned with GARLIC sauce (I think it's not worth explaining that the last campaign was with good chicken, with caesar sauce and cherry tomatoes). The culmination of our "banquet" was dolma, I had never tasted such a terrible dolma, it looked more like dolma soup, they brought a soup plate in which there was a slurry in which an unfinished dolma floated, with terrible minced meat and ketchup was poured on top of all this (there used to be a gorgeous dolma that was served on a plate and there were 10 of them pieces, and now only 5).
Prices have increased, but not much, they also include the mandatory 10% for "service", although it is not there, when we paid the bill, we stood over our souls and watched while I calculated the cash, as I put it, snatched the bill and ran away…
To sum up, even for free in this place, I would not agree to eat, it has become terrible. Very, very sorry.
The most terrible place in New Athos, the tables are dirty, the cutlery is dirty, they said the wine and chacha were homemade, it turned out that it was not clear at all that solid alcohol, they wrote a bill for payment, the prices did not match the menu, when they began to ask questions, the waitresses began to be terribly rude, and they also have gypsies walking around the cafe, trying for money to divorce, my family and I were very disappointed. We do not advise anyone
We found out about this place at the end of our nine-day vacation, perhaps we would have gone there all the time. Fast and courteous service standard prices, but high service and restaurant atmosphere. Delicious and clean. Live music, it seems, in the evenings and on weekends. The pizza exceeded all expectations, I have never eaten anything tastier than this pizza anywhere else. Suddenly.
