When I first time visited this restaurant in March I had risotto and were really disappointed. I decided to not come back anymore, but because my colleagues proposed this restaurant for a dinner repeatedly I gave it another chance. Since that time I ate there several times already and I have to admit that it is not as bad as I thought after my first visit. So far I always have pizza, which is perfect and I appreciate friendly staff very much.

Our menu is presented mainly with game meat specialties, but we offer a wide variety selection of delicious regional and international meals. The quality of our food begins from purchasing good quality ingredients from our region and local suppliers.

Meat from wild boar was something we were looking for. The hotel restaurant was made in jaeger style. The personnel was very helpful, when picking the food they were able immediately to advise the best choice. And really, the food was exceptional for me. I have chosen medallions from wild boar on boletes with sauerkraut with the side dish - domestic dumpling. The food was served fast. prices were very reasonable - going about 10 EUR per meal in average.

We would like to take you into the days when food came right from nature and the most important sign was its freshness. As a result, ingredients had the highest quality flavor and they were also the source of all important vitamins and nutrients necessary

I went with my wife to the Human for dinner. The Human is part of a new development with restaurant, beach bar, beach volleyball, children's playground and a fitness studio with a paintball ground attached. All new, nice and modern. There is enough sitting outside and inside and even if the restaurant is more on the posh side it has quite a relaxed, casual vibe. The food we had was very good (octopus as a starter, lamb and salad as mains) and the portions were definitely big enough (though not "Slovak pub food massive" big). Nothing to complain there. What let them definitely down were the drinks and service. My wife ordered a Mojito which was massive in size, but totally watered down (not sure if they deliberately tried to safe on expensive spirits or because they added a stupid amount of crushed ice and let it melt). We complained, my wife ordered a new, different drink and even returned the full Mojito glass, but there was simply no appropriate reaction to that. No apologies, no offer to give the new drink for free, no tasting and make up their minds themselves, nothing - and we had to pay both. Generally the service was not bad or unfriendly, but they seemed a bit unorganized. I ordered some beers and in between the orders and getting the beers I saw the waiters a few times passing me empty handed (can't say if it was the waiters fault or if they had an issue at the bar to get the drinks ready - in my case that meant opening a bottle). I wouldn't argue the high prices with good drinks and service as the food was really nice, but if one is charging premium prices one can expect premium food AND premium drinks and service. This all can happen once, but it shouldn't a second time.

Dominating the square there are 30ish tables, but go inside and there's room for over 10. Food is good. Service very good by enthusiastic people. Lots of Tv's inside.

My company has an office in Zilina, and this is one of the favorite spots for us to meet after work. They have a great assortment of locally and regionally brewed beers, which are visible on their website. Flights and full beers are attractively priced, and there's a nice selection of appetizers (including Slovak string cheese, which I highly recommend) and pizza. Their "Milk It" milk stout is excellent, and I highly recommend the kielbasa as well. Service was efficient and friendly, with menus and wait staff both available in English.

Modern restaurant with pleasant interior and good service. Waiters try to help you and recommend the food that will satisfy you. Used groceries seem to be of high quality.But ... We ordered medium-cooked hamburgers and steaks. We got well-done hamburgers and also steaks ... We were there twice and it happened twice. It's a pity. Maybe once, they will learn how to prepare meat. I will wait. :)

We came to the restaurant based on positive TripAdvisor references, but when we entered the restaurant, we wanted to turn around and go back â strange small dark place without guests (it was late afternoon) and terrace more like in home cottage not a restaurant. After we finished our meal, we had to apology to the owner and chef for our initial distrust. It is a real family restaurant how it should look like! The chef could be a star in any restaurant in Prague. If you go there, donât choose from menu â it´s boring. Let the chef to offer you daily specialties. Everything he cooks is only best fresh food made on grill with a salt and pepper allow excelling its own delicious taste. Itâs very simple Italian style cousin you have to admire! This is a restaurant I would definitely stop if going around Žilina. Many thanks for this culinary experience!

absolutely terrible service. seven people need seven menus. did not order beer, got beer. only pizzas available two hours before closing the restaurant. first waitress was very rude. im okay with people not understanding english but they could atleast try and listen to the order. they changed waitresses bcs the first got upset with us asking for things like menus for everybody, forks and knives etc. . all the staff walked out an hour before the restaurant closed, they turned off the music but asked us if we wanted beers still. the pizzas were all raw and the toppings looked like they were thrown on the pizzas from a meter away. would not suggest to anyone. only good thing was that we were not hungry after visiting.
