Argonauts — Restaurant in Kutaisi

Trendy and classy place, but unfortunately had a few problems while eating there...

Order was a bit chaotic. Received the wrong predrinks and had to reorder the wine twice. The wine on our table was not the one ordered on our menu and valued 30 GEL. Asked the waiter the value of this wine which he confirmed was 30 GEL.

Food was simple but good. What you should expect for the price.

When the bill arrived we were surprised to see 12% of the value for service that were not mentionned on the menu, but also 60 GEL billed for the wine.

When asked, the waiter told us the wine price included wine service... After debating, I was asked to come to the counter where the boss showed me a bottle of wine on a website costing 50 GEL. When I pointed out that the wine he was pointing at online was different from the wine I ordered and the wine I received, he defended saying the menu was outdated before accepting to lower the price to 30 GEL...

I am sorry but you don't play with clients like that. I can tolerate service mistakes, but don't double the value of a wine bottle and then try to justify yourself by showing a random bottle on a website or by saying your menu is outdated.

The waiter was...

We visited this restaurant our first night in town and tried traditional meals including adjarian khachapuri, shkmeruli chicken, and khinkali with meat. The food quality was top as well as the service and ambiance. The next night we checked a couple other places in town and returned to this restaurant again after not being impressed by any others. The second night we had the quail, veal with potatoes, khinkali with mixed meat, and lobiani. I would recommend each dish we tried depending on your personal taste (quail doesnt have much meat and a lot of bones byt that is obvious) . Quality was exceptional. Thanks to our server George for completing our experience with complimentary chacha! Each meal was between 25-30 eur and we definitely ordered too much. Try and you won't be...

This restaurant in the center of Kutaisi impresses with its Soviet style mural. We took the advice from a travel blog and ended up there for dinner. The menu is only usable online and they serve the regular Georgian dishes with some extras. The food was good, not the best we had in Georgia, but okay. Unfortunately the service was a disaster. It was slow, our food came in an absolute random order....we finished dinner with the salad, which came dead last. The bottle of white wine was mediocre and for that a bit too expensive and on top of that...it was served warm. The servers were stressed and unorganized. All in all not the place I would return...
