"This place is AMAZING. We had lamb under the bell at the recommendation of our host, and it was phenomenal. We did have to order it 3-4 hours in advance, so we stopped by mid-afternoon and they allowed us to pick our table for a reservation later. We were taken to see how the lamb was made, which was such a cool experience. They gave us complimentary shots after our meal. Everything was wonderful and I wish I could go back! BEST meal we had in all of Dubrovnik during our 11 day visit!"

"The waiter was very friendly, very patient in helping us find the food we liked. Upon our request she even talked to chef and got a dish which is not in the menu. We had no much time to try their signature dish Lamb under the bell since it requires 3 hours of advance notice. I tried their lamb chops and loved them!!! Totally happy with the food. Would recommend for sure."
