A veritable 'ethnic' restaurant! We do not speak the language but loved hearing our server chat in Serbo-Croation (as we were told) with the parties on either side of us!. We were absolutely transported to a different world.

Great traditional food, for a decent price. Also a very interesting wine list, with many local (Serbian and Croatian) wines. Cash only is a little unusual and inconvenient.

Most of our night went without service. We waited long intervals for help and when it finally arrived we were refused another glass of wine because there was another reservation but they never visited our table to ask if we needed anything. Overall poor service. Will not be returning.
