We have been to Croatia many times and this was the best seafood plate we had so far!!! Super tasty. Highly recommended. Must stop when visiting Primosten.

The food (fish soup + fishplate for two) was good, but the service was stellar! The poor guy literally fought through pouring rain during a thunderstorm including a multi-hour blackout to bring our food and drinks to us!

The view is awesome and the restaurant isn’t crowded at all, it is easy to talk. Ordered spaghetti bolognese and stole a fry from my sister which was very tasty and crispy, spaghetti tastes nice and cheesy, also is a very big portion. Food got delivered quickly and it is very tasty, service is also good. I am satisfied

For us, it was the best meal of the whole stay. The place was right by the sea, the waiter was always there and promptly helped when you needed him. First we got fish soup, which I ordered to share with my wife, the staff pleasantly surprised us and put one portion into 2 smaller dishes. The broth was nice and strong, but at first a little bland, which we quickly fixed with a few sprinkles of salt. I wanted a paella, and this was one of only a few places that was offering it. That was the reason we visited in the first place, but I was still skeptical, if I really get a paella or just some glorified seafood risotto. I was pleasantly surprised with what I got, paella with plenty of wine, saffron and seafood. My wife had a white fish with grilled vegetables, and it was grilled to perfection, crispy skin, moist meat, awesome side dish, just excellent. Other small detail, but one that elevated the experience even more, happened when I ordered wine to pair with the paella, and not just our waiter but a second member of the staff came as well, so they could get us our meals and chilled wine all at the same time. Again, small detail, but one that showed they care about your experience. The wine I ordered was the "home", or local wine, as I did not want the whole bottle, just a glass, and what I got for the price was once again very, very good. The wine was not too dry, with very low acidity, great pick. After the meal, we got desserts, one panna cotta and one "secret dessert", they were both similar mainly consisting of creamy and light center with red currant topping, which made for a perfect summer dessert, light, not overly sweet, little sour and fruity. Our bill came to 77€, which was once again very pleasant, considering we had 3 courses plus wine and drinks, and the quality of the food and service. Even when writing this review I am kind of in awe how everything, and I really do mean everything was just excellent.

Very good seafood and fish plate. 2 scampi, many mussels and calamari and 2 big fish ( sea bass I guess?). Very tasty house wine, white. We spent there good time.
