Roko — Restaurant in Grad Zadar

The service and ambience here are fantastic. The food, or at least what I ordered, left a little to be desired.

Octopus salad appetiser was fresh and a good size (considering the price too!) The house bread was soft and delicious.

Unfortunately my swordfish steak wasn't the best I've had. It was tasty, no doubt, but a little over and oily for my taste. I picked it up off my plate and a lot of juice and oil poured off!

I wouldn't not return as it was a nice evening but I would try another dish.

It would be good if management would include service charge automatically - your staff are excellent, look...

We felt sorry for the waitress, who tried her best to handle the situation despite the chef's unprofessional attitude. It’s sad, as this could have been handled...

The service here is excellent, our waiter was kind, helpful and attentive. The outdoor veranda is really nice and there’s a good atmosphere. The food was ok, I had the rib eye steak (€37) which comes with wedges. It’s meant to be cooked medium/rare as a default (which is how I would have it) but it was a little overdone. It was still good but not worth the money. My partner had the swordfish steak and again whilst it was good, it was a little too oily for her liking. The wine (0.5 house white) was excellent and good value at €6.50. Although there is no wine...
