Restaurant Hotel Transilvania

Reviewed By sorinb202

The restaurant is offering a large menu with tasty dishes, at very convenient prices.Everything is clean and looks quite well maintained. Try the shrimps and quack mole salad; it is really delicious.Location is great if you have some meetings planned in Alba Iulia, because it is in the main square of the city.

We were impressed by the food here. The chili con carne was so spicy, but so tasty! the pork ribs were well-prepared, and the sauces interesting. The lemonade was also quite good.

The restaurant is located in Theodora Golf Club and everything is WONDERFULL! We only ate there and all the food (bruschettes, pork & chicken) was extremely well done and very tasty. The restaurant have high prices but they are looking for clients with high level of education and tastes. If you are a golf player, this is the biggest golf area in Romania, with accomodation possibilities in big luxury houses. I strongly recomand for business meetings, for holidays and for corporate events. Go there without hesitation! Dear Georgiana,Thank you so much for your beautiful review and for all the amazing words you had for us.Your review is exactly the type of experience we love to hear about Theodora Golf Club, because here, guests satisfaction is our main purpose and we are happy that we have achieved that with you.Your food compliments have been passed to the chef and staff, who will be delighted to hear about your praises too.Thank you very much for sharing your impressions on TripAdvisor.We are looking forward to welcoming you again at Theodora Golf Club!Sincerely,

Service was good, pizza was awesome, prices were ok. Clean place, nice decor. I would come here again. The only minus was I wouldn’t order sauce for pizza it’s almost the same price as the beer .We thank you for your visit and for the review as well, even though your - ( minus ) is based on a misleading information.. In the pizza menu, we have sauces for pizza with just 3 RON, in the kitchen menu we have other sauces with different prices, just so you know. Hope to have you again at our restaurant, best of wishes!

Gavroche - Cafe. Brasserie.

Reviewed By Terry W

Went there after reading Trip Advisor. Honestly, if this is number three, what are the other restaurants doing! Arrived there about 8pm. Plenty of tables enjoying a drink. Nobody eating. Alarm bells should have been ringing. Ordered a bottle of Sauvignon blanc. Waitress came back and started to open a bottle of Riesling. I said that is not what we ordered. She said I know but this is the same (it’s white and it’s wine). Sent it back and they brought the expensive Sauvignon. Not the one I had ordered, but very nice. The waitress informed us that none of the specials were available and none of the pizzas. So I ordered something that was available. Only to be told that wasn’t available. Rather than play a game of guess what we have available; I asked what do you recommend? Chicken fajitas. Okay. They came, the wraps were cut into small quadrants so you could not make a fajita. And the blandest dish I have ever had. Partner had chicken Kiev, said worse than your standard frozen supermarket offering. Don’t go here unless you are starving and don’t enjoy good food or good service!!!!In the name of the city we thank you for the blessing and we will pray for you as well ,making sure the divinity can do a lot for you too,as for all of us.To avoid the disappointments of our clients, you must be sure that we work hard, but for people with high expectations, it seems like you are , and you have to believe that you are not the only one; our advice is , never to descend below the 1st place when choosing a location because only in this way exceptional people like you can always be together in the exceptional places they deserve.So always choose No. 1, we'll all be happy and hope we do not come back to that place except when we deserve it.

Decided upon this place after reading the reviews and we weren't disappointed. We were warmly welcomed, there is an extensive food and wine selection and the service was very efficient. More importantly though, the service was friendly. We ordered a range of dishes - chicken skewers, fried brie, pulled pork, bruschetta - all were delicious! Loved my cucumber fizz mocktail, too!Thank you for a lovely, delicious dinner. We would definitelr recommend and should we ever come back to this part of Romania, I would return. We hope we shared with you our drink of Kahlua and milk :)

I have only beautiful words for this restaurant. Starting with staff which was very nice and friendly. The food was amazing, i mean it tasted like heaven, we congratulate the chef for all this hard work. And the desert was something i have never ate before but the taste was sooo good. If I’m in this city again, this is the place i will ate. The prices are affordable and everything is just great. Try this place if you are in town and you will not regret it.

Reviewed By AdimeLV702

Great ambiance, delicious food and outstanding service.Visited Dante several times during our 2 week stay in Alba Iulia. Every time the service was prompt and extremely professional. The food was always served timely, the presentation was at the highest standards and everything I tried was delicious: Supa crema de cartofi, Ciorba de vacuta, Rasol de miel, Piept Rata, Scarita de porc, Tentacula de caracatita, Pizza quatro formaggi cu salam picant, and Bruschete. For desert, I tried the Inghetata la strada (all 3 flavors) and Duo Chocolat.I tried the Detu...ica Cocktail and it was an interesting experience. My favorite wines served at Dante must be the locally produced Domeniul Ciumbrud selection - I encourage everyone to give it a try.
