Port Cultural Cetate — Attraction in Cetate

The place is renowned because of Mircea Dinescu, a Romanian cultural figure. Everything about the place itself was barely tolerable. The waitresses looked like they just came from work on the corn field, no uniform, all rather dirty, no words of welcome. We waited about 40 min for somebody to come to our table, after asking 3 times the ladies who were taking orders and nobody even looked at me. Finally we were brought the order of another table and after 5 mins they took it back (first we thought they might offer water on the house to everybody) and luckily we didn't touch it. The waitress who took our order did not even know the 4 dishes available, we saw on another table some cabbage and she said it might be from yesterday, but it turned out it was on the menu alright... After we got our own water, there were flies in the ice cubes. We took a short walk while waiting for the food and the area was really strange. Stray dogs everywhere, dirt and random cooking items left everywhere. The bathroom was not labled at all and we ended up knocking on a guest door in search for it . When we finally found it, there was trash all over the place and no toilet paper. The food was actually good, nothing to say there, but nothing out of this world. The check at the end was written on a normal paper, nothing like a proper invoice, which makes me suspect how much are they even submitting for taxation from all the sales. All in all, the 10 Eur per person (around 50 RON with food and water) was way too much for the worst service in the world. I seriously have no words to describe how awful that was, i think even some random people on the street would have done a better job at serving with a smile, talking about the food and making people...

As a true animal lover, I found this place to be my piece of heaven. Nature and tranquility right on the Danube shore, with friendly staff and friendly dogs and cats roaming around and making everything even more beautiful with their presence. If they feel that you love them, dogs will accompany you everywhere, happy and playful because they are fed and loved and taken care of by the staff, so they are not famished or pushy or asking for food. Of course, they will not refuse a piece of nice cheese or meat or any other treat you might offer. But speaking of food, it is deliciously true Romanian traditional food, accompanied by the best natural juices and wines. A truly great place, it recharged me with optimism and sheer simple happiness. So I highly recommend this place to animal lovers, who should visit and maybe even take home one of the amazing dogs and cats, if you fall in love with any of them. They are so friendly and welcome. I would have taken home at least 3 doggies and 2 kittens ❤ but it was a motorcycle trip for us. I will come back for...

Din pacate, nu pot acorda acestei locatii decat o stea, intrucat as fi vrut sa-i acord 1/4 stele ! In dupaamiaza zilei de 12 (parca ar fi fost 13) septembrie (sambata), am avut PROASTA inspiratie sa-mi propun vizitarea acestei locatii, avand in vedere renumele acesteia (ca tot suntem in aceaasi zona rurala, si de data aceasta, zicala ,,la pomul laudat sa nu te duci cu sacul ", a fost cat se poate de adevarat) si sperand ca receziile negative ale celor care au fost inaintea mea sa fi fost decat simple ,,rautati". Ei, din pacate toate aspectele semnalate s-au dovedit a fi reale... Pentru a nu mai lungi vorba si pentru a nu-mi mai creste tensiunea la rememorarea tipului petrecut aici, va pot spune ca in afara catorva opere de arta stilizate si a unor obiecte rurale nu aveti ce vedea... Dar ce este cel mai important lucru pe care trebuie sa-l aveti in vedere daca totusi nu ma credeti si va aventurati sa veniti aici, este sa aveti la voi un pachetel de mancare si o sticla de apa intrucat nu veti avea decat 1% sanse sa savurati renumita ciorba de peste servita in strachina, pestele fript cu mamaliguta si usturoi, si sa gustati din "vinul lui Dinescu" (atentie ca nici contravaloarea lor nu este de neglijat). In concluzie, personalul ce serveste aici este mai mult decat NESIMTIT (este un cuvant prea bland pentru ai caracteriza). In ziua fatidica, dupa 30 min. de asteptare, timp in care mi-am debarasat singur masa (in a carei lemn era impregnat grasimea fostelor mancaruri) pentru ca nu a venit nimeni ,,sa se injoseasca" sa faca acest lucru, am ,,tras-o de maneca" (aproape la propriu) pe una dintre cele 2 persoane existente (care trecea pe langa noi ca ,,trenul prin gara"), persoane ce ne faceau noua, insignifiantii clienti, onoarea de a ne lua comanda si eventual de a a si aduceo (nu conta cand) si am rugat-o sa ne aduca si noua un meniu. Raspunsul acesteia a fost, fara sa se opreasca din deplasare (,,din fuga calului"), peste umar, ca vor avea un botez si daca avem noroc, ne poate aduce, daca avem noroc dar nu se stie cand, o ciorba de potroace ca decat asta mai este, in contextul in care acesta solicitare era facuta in jurul orei 15:00. La intrebarea daca totusi ne poate aduce un pahar de vin, raspunsul a venit sec ,,vinul se serveste numai la carafa" ! Daca d-nului Dinescu ii pasa de viitorul acestei locatii si daca va citi aceasta recenzie, ii recomand cu caldura sa-si angajeze un consilier priceput pe probleme de turism si alimentatie publica pentru ca altfel in curand...va bate vantul pe acolo mai abitir decat in filmul ,,Ciulinii Baraganului" ! Concluzie: NU RECOMAND vizitarea acestei locatii, cel putin in viitorul, nu stiu daca indepartat sau apropriat... Timpul alocat acestei vizite este timp IROSIT pe care il puteti utiliza facand oricare alta...
