The homemade beer was really good with the calamari. Sat at the bar, bartender was friendly and didn&#39;t rush us. Nice spot to just relax for a bit.

The music here is such a mood&mdash;60s and 80s stuff playing low, makes the whole place feel easy. Cocktails were solid, no complaints. Service kept it simple, checked in at the right moments. Just a chill spot to unwind, nothing overdone.

The lobster pasta was the move&mdash;fresh lobster, solid tomato sauce, pasta cooked right. Shrimp risotto was creamy but not heavy. Citrus finish worked.

Book ahead if you can&mdash;we walked in and got lucky, but the place was packed by 7. Tuna steak was solid, cooked just right. Portion felt fair for the price, not huge but not stingy either. Staff friendly enough, didn&#39;t have to wait long for anything. Would come back if I&#39;m in the area again.

Wood-fired crust was properly charred, Modena pizza had good balance. Rukola was decent too. Place gets busy but worth it for the pie.

We sat outside, right by the water. Ordered the buzara prawns &mdash; sweet, fresh, sauce was perfect for dipping bread. Staff were friendly, not pushy. Place got busy later, but we never felt rushed. Nice spot for a relaxed evening. Just wish they had more local wine by the glass.

The terrace is right by the beach, super chill. Grilled sea bream from the fish counter was fresh and spot on. House Malvazija helped with the heat too.

Big portions for sure. The fried squid was solid and the Energy pizza did the job for the kids. Nice quiet spot on a shaded street in the old town. Prices felt fair.

The fish soup and sea bass were spot on&mdash;fresh, cooked right. House wine did the job with the seafood. Solid spot if you&#39;re nearby.

The terrace seating is the main draw here &mdash; olive grove and water right in view. Food&rsquo;s solid, creative but still traditional. Chef stopped by our table, nice touch. Just wish the chairs were a bit more comfortable for lingering.

The wine list surprised me&mdash;lots of interesting bottles I hadn&rsquo;t seen elsewhere. Food matched well too. We just picked randomly and everything worked. Place felt a bit quiet for a Friday night, but that made it easier to talk. I&rsquo;d come back for the wine alone.

Milan the waiter knew his wine pairings well, even explained the story behind each dish. Food looked great and tasted even better. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger.

Came for the pizza, left happy. Dough was light, toppings actually fresh. The view over the sea and island is the real deal, especially around sunset. Sat there longer than planned just watching the light change. Prices fair for what you get. Solid spot.

The owner brought out the day&#39;s catch to show us&mdash;whole fish on ice, still glistening. That alone told me more than any menu could. Interior&#39;s got that clean, modern Adriatic vibe, nothing fussy. We had the grilled sea bass, simple and honest. Place was busy but not chaotic. Just felt right.

Solid seafood spot in Senj. Grilled octopus was fresh, crab ravioli too. Family-run feel, service friendly. Nothing fancy but does the job.

Came for the view, stayed for the grilled fish. Table right by the water, no rush at all. Waiter threw in a few Croatian words while we ordered, nice touch. Seafood tasted like it came straight off the boat. Place was busy but not crazy. Bill was fair for what you get. Would sit outside again.

Solid chicken burger, tortilla was decent too. Portions are big, definitely not leaving hungry. Price felt right for what you get. Staff friendly enough. Place was busy but we got seated quick.

The truffle pasta was really good, and I liked that they had a proper cheese plate too. Outdoor seating felt relaxed. Just a heads up, it&#39;s a bit of a walk to find, but the fresh ingredients made it worth it.

Lucked into a table without a reservation at lunch. Short menu, changes daily, but the seafood was spot on. House wine paired nicely too.

Grilled tuna was properly done, not overcooked, still juicy in the middle. Fresh salad on the side actually tasted like something, not just decoration. Menu in a few languages helped, but honestly I&#39;d eat here again just for that fish. Place was quiet, no tourist chaos. Fine by me.

The tuna and white fish were spot on, really fresh. Sitting right by the sea made it better. Staff were friendly too, though it did get a bit busy.

Solid spot for a quick bite. Kebab box was decent, plenty of meat for the price. Place gets cramped at lunch though. Still, can&#39;t complain when it&#39;s that cheap.

The pizza here is seriously good. Crust had that nice char, light and airy, toppings tasted fresh. I got the margherita and it was simple but done right. Probably the best Neapolitan-style pie I&#39;ve had in Rijeka so far. Price felt fair for the quality, not cheap but not crazy either. I&#39;d go back for that crust alone.

The bread alone is worth stopping here. Fresh, warm, perfect for soaking up the meat juices. Probably my favorite meal all week in Croatia.

Came here on a busy night, place was packed but we got our food fast. Smoked sausage was the standout, really good. Staff were nice too. No complaints.
