Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

It was a poor experience: no table cloths, poor hygiene, cutlery from ancient times, poor service, slippery floors, poor lighting, very uncomfortable chairs, you barely can see what you eat. Waiter slowly and sloppy, all the time you have to wait a lot to bring...something! Food is ok. The interior looks not painted so you can see the bricks in the walls There are far better restaurants in Bucharest than this oaneMore

Good evening, You just visited a medieval restaurant. That's just how it supposed to look. But you are wright, medieval restaurants are not for everybody. We are looking forward to see you again in our medieval location.

The food was amazing. Also I would like to mention the wonderful service. The waitress was very helpful and explained the menu with many details so we could order as many choices wisely without over doing it. We had a great time

Great idea, terrible execution. Blonde waitress was very rude, she got offended due to the fact that we did not have a reservation. Please hire people that actually want to work at your restaurant. The food was not good either. Just an overcooked burger full...of salt. Presentation and overall atmosphere was actually pretty cool, but it does not justify the food quality or the unprofessionalism of the staff.More

It was certainly a unique and enjoyable experience. Sometimes you had to call a waiter over in order to order beer after you had eaten but that’s not a biggie. We really enjoyed our time here. The music was excellent and the food was very...tasty. Loved eating with hands and no judgment!More

POSITIVE THINGS: 1. Large portions of food, sufficient for average needs. 2. Fairly prompt service (order time was 7pm), duration was 20 minutes. 3. Food well done, tasty, hot and good looking. especially the dish for 6 people, which we ordered; 4. Pleasant atmosphere, as...usual. NEGATIVE THINGS: 1. When paying for our meal, the waiter "offered" us two possibilities to pay the tip (10% or 15%) and almost summoned us to choose one of them. I consider it an abuse to impose the tip, which should be left to the customer's discretion. 2. At our request to turn on the air conditioning, the waiter immediately replied that it does not work, which is unacceptable in a location in the center of Bucharest, at rush hour and at high temperatures. 3. On the restaurant's website it is mentioned that the use of cutlery is optional. Only spoons and knives were brought to the table. When we asked for forks, the waiter, in an arrogant tone, tried to tell us that it is a medieval restaurant and in the Middle Ages people ate without cutlery. Only our firm insistence convinced the waiter to stop his medieval stories and bring us forks. 4. The desserts we ordered were absolutely banal and of dubious quality: cheap ice cream, fruit salad made from compotes, no whipped cream and no alcohol. 5. Lack of cushions on the (medieval, it's true) wooden chairs, when after an evening spent there, you would like to go home without a sore seat or back. In conclusion, compared to the first 4 previous visits, the overall quality has gone down, making us think more carefully about whether or not to return.More

The service was amazing, the food was pretty good and the food portions were plentiful. The medieval atmosphere can be challenged only by a renaissance festival. Really good selection of drinks and the names of the cocktails were really funny. I genuinely recommend this place...and I'll definitely be back when I'll visit Bucharest again.More

When in Bucharest a night (or more nights) at Excalibur is a must. It is one of those places where Romanian and tourists mix together. The food is great, ginormous potions, be aware. A super great night out.

Endless waiting before dinner, and very bad service. The waiters didn't seem to understand Romanian, and English quite badly. These difficulties of understanding with the waiters make ordering almost impossible. We didn't get what we ordered.

We waited an hour and a half for the main dishes (which were two), when it was time to pay we were told that it is obligated in Romania to pay 10% or 15% of the amount as a tip, which is not true because...it was the fourth restaurant that we have eaten and all told as that it's not obligated. The food and decoration were worth it.More
