Perfect location by the beach. The food is delicious, I suggest the "Slatka voda" pizza. The prices are really fair. A glass of wine, 1 beer, 2 coffees and a pizza for €20. As someone who has been to a lot of restaurants, I can say and especially emphasize the extremely professional service and friendliness of the waiters. Definitely recommended

Awesome ambience and music run by very nice lads - probably the fastest service we got in Croatia in a week. I loved music and food: shrimps and cheeseburger get the endorsement. Around 30-40 kn for a tasty dish in the beachfront is a deal lately. One little friendly suggestion would be to offer a bowl with water to dip fingers when serving shrimps. Still, it's way to minuscule to substract a star. Place gives a vibe of some cool southeast Asian backpackers bar
