30.06.2024 celebrated her birthday. My husband and I sometimes dropped in for coffee/lemonade with dessert. The place is very pleasant, on the banks of the river, so the choice fell on this institution. I think it was a mistake, for a restaurant with such a price level, the food tastes average, and in general it was more or less, not just terrible, but definitely much below expectations. I'll start with the pros: clear service, polite waiter (except for one moment when he directly argued that we ordered citrus, not tropical lemonade), very beautiful view from the terrace, comfortable with a small child who has room to run around, liked the snacks (antipasti, tomatoes, focaccia), awesome cake (I ordered a "Milling cutter", I recommend it). Now, BUT: the main dishes looked so beautiful in the picture and, alas, were very poorly cooked. Swordfish is over-dried, the side dish is bland. The portion of Dorado is such that for the portion just brought, they thought it was leftovers (it was so mini), the chicken is OK, but also a little dry. In short, the cook who cooked the main dishes got a two. I asked if something was provided for my birthday, they said that a piece of cheesecake was missing. Well, I could even survive that, considering I ordered a cake. But the most annoying thing is that I celebrated my birthday right on the day, neither the waiter nor any of the staff even congratulated me verbally, although I have repeatedly said that it was a birthday. The cake that I ordered and paid for was just quietly taken out, no candles, no congratulations, just put on the table. In short, there is no festive atmosphere, it is very insulting, especially doubly insulting when I celebrated with friends in another place on Saturday, there was a cake as a gift, and it was beautifully taken out, and sincerely congratulated, and even in the SPA restaurant on the occasion of a birthday dessert and, most importantly, congratulations are provided. In general, the place is average, it's OK to sit in a cafe with a cup of coffee, go here to a restaurant and even more so celebrate some kind of celebration, I do not advise.

I really liked the summer terrace with a beautiful view of the embankment. It became especially atmospheric in the evening, when the street lights and the multicolored illumination of the fountain lit up, and the waiters turned on small lamps at each table. I was also pleased with the kitchen. Salad with apricots and Parma ham is original, light, summer. Confit duck is the most delicate, perfectly cooked. We were also surprised by the unusual desserts. A mini banana with coffee ice cream resembles a real banana, and cottage cheese with tofu, pistachio and berry sauce visually look like sausages with peas. Very creative, modern and delicious.
A great place to enjoy the summer, good weather, live music and delicious food.
Thanks to the staff for a pleasant evening.

The place is great, the cuisine is excellent. The steak is perfectly cooked medium. Chicken soup with hangers would be improved in sharpness (still to taste). The service is excellent, Anna left a pleasant impression, knows the menu well, treated the order professionally
