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.

Great food and service. Had the 3 course lunch special for 18 Euro: highly recommend this place. Wine is excellent as well as their extensive selection.

Nice spot near the harbour. Friendly waitress promoting the menu. Portions a little on the small side for our liking. But if you are a relatively light eater, this may not be a problem. We objected to being told we couldn’t have a jug of...tapwater because, somewhat incredibly, we were told it had been raining a little during the day so the tapwater wasn’t trustworthy. Sounded like a dodgy line to upsell people to a bottle of water at 5 euros. Even though we had ordered a couple of glasses of wine. Plenty of other restaurants in Croatia have been perfectly willing to provide a jug of tapwater. Also, before food had arrived, waiter brought over a basket of bread and some small tuna pate pots without our requesting these. We asked if there was a charge for this, and he said it was €2.65 per person. We sent them back. Overall, feels like they are trying to squeeze every cent out of you.More

Lovely little Restaurant on the corner of the promenade,fantastic staff and service,food excellent,so good we went twice in a week,which is unusual for us as we like to try different places. Off the Allacarte menu the prawns and Rissoto are excellent the prawns are melt...in the mouth that tender and Risotto is so full of flavour. The set menus we had the 4 course 49 euro one on our second visit started off with class with an orange marmalade glaze cooked to perfection,followed by a seafood risotto which was full of mussels,prawns,calamari,clam very tasty. Followed by lamb with Rosemary potatoes the lamb was cooked perfectly the little potatoes were delicious,desert was a creme with a lovely cherry coule and an outstanding vanilla ice cream,absolutely fantastic well definitely go back next time we're in Cavtat,unfortunately probably not for a year or so tho.More

Avoid this tourist trap of a restaurant. Don’t usually leave reviews good or bad but felt we need to warn other unsuspecting tourists. No idea how the reviews for this place are good as we were so disappointed. Unfortunately even though we wanted to like...the restaurant due to location, everything about it was just awful. The staff were very pushy and clearly know what they are doing in regards to taking advantage of tourists. Firstly we were refused tap water and told we had to buy a bottle, even though every other restaurant in Cavtat provided tap water on request. Then we were given bread,butter and tuna pate which we though was nice and complimentary only after eating it did they tell us it was €2 for bread €2 for butter and also €2 for pate! The starters were expensive and awful. I had mozzarella buratta which was a wet ball of mozzarella mixed with some brown lettuce and an old tomato - no balsamic or any attempt at a drizzle of oil and this was €10. My other half had prawns in a cheese sauce which was meant to be prawns in white wine! This was €15!! Then mains I paid €18 for shrimp in tagliatelle, I only had 3 prawns (not even shrimp) in my pasta which was a rip off. Other half had what was claimed to be ‘best lasagne in Cavtat’ which was truly awful, so much cheese sauce and hardly any lasagne sheets. In total this came to around €79 for lunch and we were truly disappointed and wish we hadn’t bothered. The only nice part were the cokes we ordered (although took them 15mins to actually arrive at the table especially as the restaurant was quiet at this time too). Truly a rip off and tourist trap avoid at all costs! Walk along the port for an extra 5 mins to Konobu Cavtat which was the best meal we have eaten, was cheaper and hope to return again to!!More

The food is overpriced, tasteless, not fresh & quite frankly poor quality. Service was also poor, waiting ages just to pay the bill. I will definitely not be returning & would not recommend others to visit this restaurant.

This is a very bad restaurant. I would not recommend anyone to eat here. Firstly food is not tasty and not fresh. Be sure to know in advance what they bring, it's old and hard bread with nasty fish phate that will taste bad in...your mouth for hours. Definitely not worth eating here! If you have a choice skip this one.More

Overpriced not a great experience we had lunch on our last day , we were given bread before our main arrived and then found out when the bill arrived we had been charged 4 euros. Every other restaurant provides bread with no additional charge. We...were also charged more for our drinks due to card payment.More

Food was average lasagne came with no extras not even salad garnish. Prawn and avocado salad had 4 prawns 1 tomato and a bit of avocado with lots of ice gem lettuce. After asking for tap water and being told they didn’t do it, my...children ordered drinks only to be brought out tsp water later. The main gripe was that we were brought out bread to begin with presuming it was complimentary to be charged 8 euros when we got the bill. We queried with the waiter who said it wasn’t his decision! Not a cheap meal which we realised when deciding to treat ourselves but not value for money eitherMore
