Really good dessert (I had raspberry crostata) while ice cream (stracciatella) was very creamy and not that good. Staff was ok: neither friendy or rude. The atmosphere and the location are cool. You can have a nice walk by the river also and the place is really big. Liked it!

Priority is given to proven local suppliers; only in this way can we ensure constant quality and freshness of ingredients used in our kitchen. Reservation required by phone.

Restaurant Grad at Otocec Castle

Reviewed By stefaniav - Milan, Italy

Last year we had dinner in the restaurant and the experience was very good, this year we decided to stop just for a drink before dinner. The weather was not good, so the place was empty; we entered and asked if we could have a drink; the waiter who welcomed us was not really friendly, but told us that it was possible.
We were asked to sit in a small room, and another waiter came to ask what we wanted to drink. No drinks menu, no wine list (we were going for wine), nothing.
The waiter explained they had just two red and two white wines by glass, and was a bit surprised when we wanted to know more about those wines (probably he was not expecting we were connoisseurs). We were served the two glasses, with nothing on the side: no chips, no nuts, no olives... Nothing at all. I was really disappointed... If this is a 5 star hotel and they want to be open to outside guests who come in just for drinks, they have to be up to the standards of 5 star hotels, not only when it comes to the prices, but also (or most important) to the service.

It's the best place to get lost in the morning, to have nice coffee time with your best friend or happy family. Friendly staff, helpful with the choice of drinks and if, if you are hanging around, their sendwich is a must, delicious taste made by best.

Reviewed By MayaMaya7

We were excited to come here due to great reviews and promising menu. However, service was too big of disappointment that the good food could make up for it. The waiter was really slow, unfriendly and uninterested. The local was practically empty and he really took his time for everything..order, Delivery, also the food took ages to be prepared. We do not complicate about service ever but this was really too slow. Regarding the food: the liver pate and ribs were great, the burger somehow tasteless, average or below average. The local itself is very nicely decorated, cosy and inviting.
