This is a new place in Sandanski And I would call it a little bit of an upscale place which is a much needed change for the town. I am giving it five stars for the great potential that has whoever I must say that there are a few wrinkles that need to be ironed out in the service and overall vibe of the Establishment. I will start with the menu which is a typical Mediterranean cuisine blend of Italian and Greek classics. They have a variety of fresh fish which I was surprised. The price was very acceptable for fresh Mediterranean fish. We begun with the classics salad caprese which to my surprise did not have a lot of basil or any pesto. The tomatoes however were fresh. Even though out of season they didn't taste like "winter tomatoes". Then we had the shrimps with wine which were very tasty. I must say the sauce was amazing. However, I could tell that the shrimp were probably not. The freshest and were purchased, already cleaned and maybe precooked. But this is my speculation. We also had a starter with the scallops and the risotto with mushrooms and scallops as well as the fish in the josper oven. However, the scallops did come a bit late after the main course which was surprising to me as she was repeating that they're being made and I was wondering why a starter comes after the main course. Over all the taste of everything was impeccable and I could not complain about anything. The risotto was actually one of the best I have ever eaten in Bulgaria or Italy. The fish was also very well cooked and was really tender and you could tell it was fresh catch. However, the few things that they need to iron out are first. The lady that was our waitress was amazing, very positive and very informative. However, she needs to be a little bit more formal and more confident in the way she speaks and what she talks about because she had to stumble a lot when she spoke about the things she is presenting or offering. Also, the other thing that I did notice is that when we entered nobody welcomed us and we actually had to go to them and ask for a table which I think could have been a result of the fact that we went around 12:30. And last thing which made the biggest impression to me was that I think it was the owner at one table that was sitting there and he was eating just homemade food with his mom and he was entering the kitchen with pickled hot peppers. I believe when you have an upscale place and you are the own you want to eat something there. You either eat things that are on the menu or just don't eat in front of your guests. However, I am very very happy that this town is going into that direction and there is a little bit more upscale place you can go to to distinguish yourself from the everyday places that the city has to offer, which are not always the best.
