We had a reservation and were greeted by the very friendly service personnel. The food was of high quality and the delicious dishes met our expectations. Unfortunately the prices attached to the wine menu are a bit high compared to the food.

Unbelievable flavors and an outstanding selection of dishes—truly the best dining experience I’ve ever had. In my opinion, it deserves two Michelin stars, not just one.

One of the top restaurants in Vilnius! We got the ribs to share and a few appetizers! Nothing disappointed! The potatoes were out of this world. Highly recommended!! A++

The restaurant has a very lovely and romantic atmosphere – my wife and I really enjoyed our evening there. It felt cozy and intimate, just perfect for a date night. A big thank you and compliments to the chef – every dish was delicious, well-balanced, and beautifully presented. We truly appreciated the harmony of flavors and the overall concept. Solid 10/10 for the food! The only downside was the service. 1. We had a reservation, but still had to wait quite a while before someone seated us, even though the restaurant wasn’t full. 2. We are English-speaking, and unfortunately the waiter didn’t explain the dishes to us – that felt a bit unprofessional. 3. Nobody checked in to ask how we were enjoying the meal – a small touch that could have made the experience feel warmer. 4. And the most concerning part – when having a tasting menu, it’s usually standard to ask about allergies or dietary restrictions. We weren’t asked, even though we noticed the table next to us was. That was our personal experience, but overall we had a wonderful evening with excellent wine and food. Thank you!p

Creative dishes as expected from 1-start Michelin restaurant. We selected a la carte menue and most of dishes where good. Comparatively to other Michelin restaurants in the US and others countries, service in this restaurant is quite casual. It's not bad, just not as smooth as expected. I will be surprised if next year it will keep it's star. Still good restaurant to visit, especially for the price.

We came here for our last night in Vilnius with kind of high expectations for a restaurant with a Michelin star. 💶 €120 per person for tasting menu 🍽️ Food: We enjoyed almost everything! The appetizers were very interesting and I was impressed with the depth of flavour and finesse - the crusts of the tartlets were super thin but held their shape. The flavours also changed as you continued to chew. The dishes that didn’t hit the mark as much for us were the appetizer with eel/beef tartare (the cheese overpowered everything and I couldn’t taste the eel much) and the lamb (the shiitake mushroom on top saved the day for this and was the true star). The ice cream dessert was delicious and a good palette cleanser. The petit fours were good but nothing spectacular, kind of expected more for this part. 🤵 Service: When we first came in, there wasn’t anyone already at the door and it wasn’t 100% clear if we were expected to walk in to find someone. The seats also had crumbs from the people before us. Apart from that start, we thought the service onwards was good… until near the end. When I went to the washroom, they saw me go in and a minute after I went inside, the light suddenly turned off - I waited a couple of minutes to see if it’d turn back on because I couldn’t see a thing. I eventually just tried my best and flushed the toilet, when I came out, the girl was already looking at me like she already knew I was in there, started apologizing and turned the light back on. Why would you leave the light off if you knew I was in there? And why would you even turn it off when the restaurant was still open? After we finished the dessert, our server disappeared. After 20min we flagged down another server for the bill. These are things that can be frustrating in a random, cheaper restaurant but it was quite disappointing for one with a Michelin star and a minimum €120 price tag per person for the tasting menu.

Overall it was a nice experience but we expected more from this 1 Michelin star restaurant. We went with the tasting experience which was 120 euro per person. The food was beautifully presented, but the dishes didn’t “wow” us compared to other Michelin dining experiences we’ve had before. The non-alcoholic pairing was also different than the menu presented. The restaurant is very dark and moody even though the name translates to “Joy” and the music didn’t seem to match the vibe. When we were leaving, there was also no one to grab our jackets for us, so we took them ourselves and it was hard to see as they were stored in a very dark corner. We also had a large party seated behind us that was rowdy and made it difficult to chat amongst our table; this impacted the ambiance for us. The restaurant wasn’t very busy as it was a Monday night and I would suggest having groups sit in a separate area where they did not disturb others.

Went to the a la carte experience because i was a bit time constrained to only 1 hour as i needed to be somewhere else but it was a majestic experience, given my almost last minute booking. Did a couple of starters, the vegetarian main and the famous potato ice cream dessert. All the dishes were presented nicely and tasted heavenly as one would expect from a 1 Star Michelin restaurant. Recommend it to anyone who wants to experience creative lithuanian cuisine in the heart of the city. Thank you!
