Review of a restaurant visit (04/01/2025) We visited the restaurant on April 1, 2025. The table was pre-booked by phone, through a contact from the website. We arrived on time, there was almost no one at the entrance. The receptionist couldn't find our reservation for a long time, he read the notes, giving the impression of disorganization — which is surprising, considering the almost empty hall. As a result, we were shown to a table located in the far corner, with uncomfortable metal chairs that looked more like a dining room. I asked the administrator to replace either the chairs or the table itself, since there were tables with upholstered chairs in the hall, closer to the stage. At first, I received the answer that it was "the way it should be" in this row, but after a persistent request, I still found a decent option — in the center of the hall, with comfortable furniture. I thank the employee for being able to resolve the situation promptly, although the confusion about the initial approach remains: how can you offer the least successful seat with an empty hall, and even not find a reservation? A young waiter served us quickly, politely, with respect and a sincere smile. I would really like to remember his name so that I can mark him personally. Thanks to him, the impression of the beginning of the evening was partially smoothed out. Special thanks to him! Kitchen. Traditional Georgian. You won't find any modern interpretations here — everything is classic. Overall, the dishes are good, but there is a serious note: some items were noticeably over-salted. Especially the phali and crumpets — the salt was so strong that it was impossible to eat them. At the same time, other dishes (satsivi, khachapuri, khinkali, meat) were balanced and quite pleasant. I especially remember khachapuri in Megrelian style - baked, with enough cheese, without too much salt. The wine was picked up by the waiter — white semi-sweet Georgian, it was very tasty. The show program. It consists of three parts: Georgian choral singing is emotionally weak, formal, as if without a soul. I would like more feeling, liveliness and energy. The dance part is excellent! The performers are wonderful, the dancing is dynamic and vibrant, but the stage is very small, which creates a feeling of a cramped hall. The entertainment part with the songs is fun, lively, and fervent. A nice little thing. By the end of the evening, it turned out that there was a birthday boy among the guests. The restaurant staff quickly helped organize the congratulations: they found sweets that replaced the cake (which is strange in itself — there was no real dessert for such occasions in a restaurant of this level), and flowers were delivered. Thank you for your promptness and willingness to help — the situation was really saved. My overall impressions are mixed. On the one hand, there is a good kitchen, an attentive waiter, and an interesting show program. On the other hand, there are organizational shortcomings, oddities with seating arrangements, and obvious flaws in the kitchen (the issue of salt is critical), as well as the weak emotionality of the first part of the program. It is also confusing that even with an almost empty hall, an armored table can be the most inconvenient, and the staff takes a long time to find your record. Prices. By Georgian standards— it is above average. According to Moscow standards, they are moderate. Conclusions. The restaurant has great potential: a spacious hall, a veranda, a concept, and a location. But it is necessary to work on the details: — staff training regarding the priority of armor; — control of the kitchen (especially salt); — strengthening the emotional part of the choral program; — attention to the little things that make the atmosphere (the ability to organize a dessert in case of a holiday, the precise work of the administrator). Should I recommend a restaurant? Yes rather than no, but with a number of caveats. Should I visit again? Yes, it is possible. Will I call it a "cult place"? No. Rather, it is a restaurant worth visiting after exploring stronger alternatives to Tbilisi.

We went to have lunch with the family. I'll give you three points just for a beautiful terrace with a great view. The food is average. You can eat, you didn't get poisoned, but you didn't get much pleasure either. But what marred the visit was the disgusting service. The male waiter, although he spoke Russian, but generally treated and served us as if he was doing us a great favor. In the end, he brought us a whole handful of 20 kopecks for change. As a result, I got one of them for a tip. I do not recommend it.

A very atmospheric Georgian cuisine restaurant. Beautiful view of the river from the terrace. In the evenings, there is a show program with Georgian dances and songs. Amazing performers! The food is delicious, the prices for such a place are reasonable.
