We had the most amazing wedding lunch here. The tables were beautifully decorated with wild herbs. The food was exquisite. The appetisers were a heavenly display of creativity, a luxurious combination of seafood and homegrown vegetables, wild herbs plus aromatic homemade olive oil. The presentation was just gorgeous. The main dish was octopus and potatoes made in "sač" - perfectly timed to get the best taste and structure of octopus. Everything was made gluten free by request. No reaction The service was kind and friendly. Just a fantastic day full of love
