The solyanka was proper&mdash;hearty, tangy, just right for a cold day. Chicken burger did the job too. Prices fair for what you get. Place was quiet enough to actually talk.

The pork ribs were properly smoked, not just grilled with sauce slapped on. Tender enough to pull off the bone but still had that nice chew. Portion was solid for the price, left full without feeling stuffed. Place was busy on a Tuesday night, which says something. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The black garlic Caesar salad really stood out &mdash; fresh greens, nice crunch, and the dressing wasn&rsquo;t heavy at all. I also tried the confit duck, which was tender and well seasoned. The menu feels modern but still rooted in local flavors. Our waitress Krista was friendly and checked in just enough. Only small thing: the room got a bit warm as it filled up.

Stopped by for lunch &mdash; the grey peas with bacon were solid, exactly what I needed on a cold day. Place is small but cozy. Service was friendly too.

The venison carpaccio here was really good &mdash; tender and nicely seasoned. Cozy little place in the old town, though you definitely need to book ahead. Service was fine, not too pushy.

The dumpling soup was really good, broth had nice flavor. Pork ribs were tender too. Sat outside, weather was perfect for it. Service came by often enough.

Cozy spot with a nice view, food looked good on the plate. Service was friendly enough. Bit pricey but I guess you pay for the location.

The lamb fillet roll was the standout &mdash; cooked properly, plated nicely. Interior is calm, not trying too hard. Service kept up without hovering. Only thing, the bill came a bit steep for what we had. Still, a decent spot if you want something a bit more put together.

Had the 5-course menu last night. Every plate came out clean, dessert was the best part honestly. For what you pay, it&#39;s fair. Service kept it simple, no hovering. Place was busy but we didn&#39;t wait long. Would go back if I&#39;m in the area again.

The beer list here is seriously long. Like, need a few minutes to decide long. Cozy little place tucked in the Old Town. I had the scallops and they were properly fresh, not rubbery at all. Food&#39;s definitely a step up from your usual pub grub. Only thing is it gets a bit cramped when it&#39;s busy, but that&#39;s kind of the charm I guess.

The duck confit was the standout &mdash; crispy outside, tender inside. Portion felt a bit small for the price, but the flavor made up for it.

Cappuccino was properly balanced, staff actually paid attention. Solid spot for a chill breakfast.

Walked in on a busy Saturday without a booking and they still found us a table. Portion sizes were decent for the price, though not huge. Felt looked after without being rushed.

The view from the 5th floor is gorgeous, perfect spot for hanging out with friends. Steak was a bit off but the rest was solid.

The burgers were solid and the fries came out hot and crispy. Place has a nice open feel, not cramped like most spots. Service was friendly too.

The BBQ chicken and pork were really good, and sitting by the sea made it better. Prices felt fair for the spot. Just keep an eye on those seagulls&mdash;they&rsquo;ll grab your plate if you blink. 😅
