The pasta was the only thing I cared about and it didn&rsquo;t disappoint. Tagliatelle with mushrooms, creamy but not heavy. The soup of the day was decent too, though a bit salty. Menu&rsquo;s mostly in Romanian, so I just pointed at stuff. Worked fine.

The duck confit was good but the plating made it a bit awkward to eat. Irish pie had a flaky crust, well-seasoned. Solid spot overall.

The terrace really is lovely &mdash; that&rsquo;s the main reason I&rsquo;d come back. Sat outside, nice breeze, felt like a little escape. Food was okay, nothing to write home about, and service was a bit slow even though it wasn&rsquo;t packed. Just wish the rest matched the vibe. 🌿

Service was quick, but the guy taking orders looked like he&#39;d rather be anywhere else. No smile, nothing. Food came out fine, pasta was decent. Just that cold vibe at the start kinda stuck with me. Place wasn&#39;t busy either, so no excuse for the attitude.

The burgers were solid and cooked right, and the staff actually seemed to care. Place is modern and clean, no complaints there. Just wish the fries came with a bit more for the price.

Lovely terrace with big trees, really peaceful. The lemonade was refreshing and desserts hit the spot. Only thing&mdash;service was a bit slow, but I wasn&#39;t in a hurry.

The grilled vegetables were really fresh, not soggy at all. I ordered the chicken salad and it felt light but filling. Portion was decent for the price. Only thing&mdash;the music was a bit much while I was eating. Would&#39;ve liked it quieter to enjoy the meal properly.

The burger was solid and the papanași hit the spot. Nice spot to unwind with a glass of wine after work.

The chef sent out a complimentary mushroom cream soup that was honestly the highlight. Great view too. Just a heads up, you&#39;ll need GPS to find the place, it&#39;s a bit hidden.

Nice rustic spot with the hillside exposed inside &mdash; that&rsquo;s the standout. Food was solid for the price. Service slowed down a bit once it filled up, but nothing crazy.

Stopped by for a late lunch after wandering the market square. Easy to find, which counts for something. I ordered the sarmale and a glass of their house red&mdash;the wine was surprisingly decent, paired nicely with the cabbage rolls. Service was a bit slow but friendly enough. Solid choice if you&#39;re in the area and want something hearty without the tourist trap vibe.

Stopped by for a coffee and ended up grabbing the pistachio eclair too. That thing is really good, you can tell they don&#39;t mess around with cheap stuff. Place is small but fine for a quick stop. Maybe a bit pricey for what it is, but I&#39;d go back for that eclair.

Beef brisket was the star &mdash; tender, flavorful, exactly what I wanted. Mocktails were solid too, nice and refreshing. No complaints from me.
