"Mâncarea excelenta, platoul cu fructe de mare pt 4 persoane, a fost exact cum trebuie gătit. Pizza buna... servirea excelenta. Doua lucruri însă: - nu mai obosiți ospătarii pe scări și înapoi, puneți la dispoziție vesela, oliviera, etc afară(saracul al nostru a alergat încontinuu) -si un mare minus este locația(cel puțin pt noi). Când savurezi un platou de fructe de mare, ultimul lucru care îți trebuie este sa vezi tot Sibiul că se uită in gura ta și zumzetul unui centru îmbâcsit de populație, parfumuri de "bro" și "fra"(dacă era într-un loc mai liniștit, era mult mult mai ok, repet părerea noastră) In rest mâncarea și serivrea ireproșabile!"
