"Probabil mâncarea e ok. Am mâncat doar ciorbă, care a fost foarte bună și părea a avea tăiței de casă. Dar amenajarea și vibe-ul locului îmi amintesc de litoralul anilor '90. Dacă era o temă asumată probabil că se găseau nostalgici care să o aprecieze. Altfel, e urgent nevoie de renovare."

"Foarte buna mancarea, ieftina, localul nu arata cine stie ce si nu este chiar asa bine ventilat, daca alegi sa mananci in local vei remarca mirosul mancarii care ramane pe haine pana acasa, in rest nu am ce sa reprosez."
