The food was great, we had the לברק and the shrimps, with a side of greens.
All was tasty and cooked to perfection.
The location is beautiful, right on the track park, and well hidden from the adjacent street corner.
The price is fair, wouldn’t call it cheap. Will return :)
Comes down to service. Starting from a disinterested host who spent her time on her phone and dared to mention to us ‘ you know this is a seafood place, right?’ In a derogatory way (we were with a toddler) through having to chase someone to place drink orders and hardly seeing anyone again…
The food was lovely. We ordered 2 fish skewers and 1 shrimp, all fresh, moist and tasty. Yes, our toddler enjoyed them all too.
We would have loved to have another round of drinks, or even two, after the first one, but no one bothered to ask, so we didn’t.
Once again, a culinary experience is overshadowed by a terrible service experience.
Poor all round. Moules Mariniere mussels were 40% empty, and salty. They don't provide bread, to mop up the sauce, you have to pay separately. I mentioned this all to the waitress. She couldn't care less. Would not recommend this place at all, plenty of other restaurants in Tel Aviv.
A disgusting place with terrible food. Even the vibe doesn’t save it. The mussels were awful. For some reason, the plate was filled with lots of empty shells with no mussels inside — why? You’re not supposed to eat those. The sauce was extremely over-salted. And they charged 25 euros for this. For 5 euros in Bulgaria, you could have a proper dish that’s much better than this.
The shrimp kebab was just as bad — why put a torn-off shrimp head on the skewer if it’s inedible? For decoration? It’s not attractive at all. As for red wine by the glass, they only had Pinot Noir and nothing else.
Overall, I strongly do not recommend this place.
