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.

This lovely restaurant is in a beautiful location in Gradac. We sat and watched the sunset with the most delicious meal (steak and pork) served to us by knowledgeable and a very friendly waiter. The food was so incredible that we came back and enjoyed...a 2nd meal on our last day. Again the food was amazing (hubby had the steak with truffle sauce again and declared it is one of the best steaks he has ever eaten) and a different waiter was equally knowledgable friendly. I would love to have a restaurant like this near where I live. What an absolute treat in this small but lovely holiday resort. Go and you will not be disappointed!!!More

Dear Alison, We are so pleased that you loved our restaurant and we hope you share your experience with your friends in Southampton. Cheers

The restaurant is located literally next to the ocean with a wonderful view. You couldn't ask for more regarding a staff; they are without exception friendly, welcoming and caring. They remember every detail about you and your travelling company and thus provide you with an...individual service. The restaurant lives up to the reputation regarding the food which is delicious. The breakfast is beyond expectations and has everything you would expect. There is no problem to get tasty gluten-free food here after requesting this, you may also get good gluten-free bread at breakfast. There was no vegetarian alternatives on the menu, but there was no problem to redo an existing dish into vegetarian. Best regards, 301x6pMore

We’ve been going through on a list of proposals from TripAdvisor. At Gradac way the best restaurant. We had a special pasta for vegetarinian, it was delecious. Also the beefsteak with Gorgonsola dressing was fantastic. As we ve Bern waiting for 30 mins for the...dish - the House offeres a glass of wine from the most exclusive wine they serve and finally we got a 10% discount as we paid over a certain amount. Highly recommended!More

We booked our holiday for 1 week here in Gradac. We was recommended to book at this hotel Marco Polo and we are glad we did. The high standard and beautiful atmosphere and a great staff made this one of our best holidays. Gradac is...a small town close to the adriatic sea and the beach was just 8 meters away from the hotel. The room was great with internett,minibar,TV and balcony so we could sea the ocean. The hotel has a fantastic breakfast in Nicolo Polo restaurant and we could also sit outside close to the beach if we wanted. In this restaurant they serve all meals and the restaurant has a high standard and the food is outstanding. First class and a bit expensive but it is absolutely worth it for this food is made by chefs with high standard and quality. The wines are top quality to. Great service from a highly service minded staff that really puts customers in first row. We will absolutely recommend this hotel and restaurant if you want first class food and a great place to stay. And dont forget wine tasting with the manager, he is great.(its free) Of course Gradac has more restaurants to offer but none with this standard. We will be back with friends next time. For this time thanks to you all at Marco Polo. Carina & Jan.More

We were six days in Gradac, and tried many restaurants. This restaurant is hands down the best. As a chef myself I am critical about my meals and very seldom do I give a 5 star rating. The staff is amazing, they cater to your...every whim. The food was outstanding every time. The location is wonderful, but most of all the food top notch. While in Croatia,we took advantage of the fresh fish and seafood every day, then I thought for lunch we would try something other than seafood. Larry ordered the pasta carbonara, I had the med. salad. we shared together. Both dishes amazing taste and quality.We went back the next night and I asked if I could have the Carbonara, because it is not on the evening menu, they were so gracious and the chef said yes. I have eaten in many restaurants all over the world, and Nico is on my top five list. I do want to add that I read a previous review that stated this restaurant is very expensive, total rubbish, it is very reasonable for the quality of food. We tried another restaurant, which you can view, they got a 0 star by me, double the price of Nico, and i could not eat it. We loved Gradac and will be back, and I am so looking forward to another wonderful meal at Nicolo Polo.More
