Great quality of all kinds of food. Steak platter is a must. Only objection is lack of waiters which results in slower service and their "happiness" but they are giving their best

Atmosphere is great, we tried burger and grilled chicken. Burger was delicious, grilled chicken good but a little bit too oily. One point that needs to get better is service quality. It is bit slow and inattentive. I asked for a salad and a drink but never arrived.

An evening at River pub - knee deep in clunge. Having attended an evening dinner with live music I can only conclude like Jay from the inbetweeners. The female/male ratio, absolute in favour of the latter, was 90/10. The food was great. Nothing special but well executed on its own. The staff was of international standards, for the better. Kind, service minded and none of the usual Croatian harsh effectiveness that we are so accustomed to here. And then there were the clunge. I’m not one to talk, I’m happily attached to a woman already. However, my mate was having a field day. The sights, ohh the sights. A big club at Trg bana Josipa Jelačića wouldn’t be able to come up with an equally high standard even if they paid them. Top place for any čovjek looking for a good meal and an an even better night.

*Nov 2021* - Newly opened restaurant in a popular location. We went to try the restaurant/pub as soon as it opened and we were pleasantly surprised by the simple but modern interior and basic but rich menu. The waiters do their job properly, the prices are more than decent. And the food is VERY VERY delicious. Additionally the Live music is one of the reasons we will be back. See you soon :)

Great place to have food and drinks with live music. Small dance floor but with right type of guests you can create train across whole restaurant - we experienced it - 10/10. Great for bridal shower and birthdays because guests are little bit older, app 28+.
