Amazing place, everything is very well organized. We picked this place to enjoy both food and performance booking place 2 weeks ahead requesting best spot. Only two points where the reason a I'm giving this place 4 starts⭐: 1. Lost reservation. On the day of the reservation I had to call in to let them know that we will be an hour late,which they gladly confirmed would be fine with them. Few minutes later they called back and asked if we would like to be seated on the balcony where program would be seen better and heard. Of course I was happy about that change. Unfortunately upon arrival it truned out that the balcony is completely separated by the window from the performance hall and yes the program could be heard but it was definitely not better spot. It took a while to get this resolved by a very lovely second hostess but definitely left a bit of unpleasant vibe. 2. Service there was great. Waiters spoke rather good English, not very knowledgeable in wine, but that was not our initial aim of visit. Food was good as well,but there are apparently better spots to eat if you are in Georgia for couple days only. All in all I do highly recommend this place as it is great to have a feeling of authentic Georgia. Make sure you have reservation ahead❗

Truly amazing! The food and wine were delicious, and the music and dancing were exceptional. (!) Making reservations is a must. However, make sure you make it at the right location since this restaurant has multiple locations in multiple towns. I've read in reviews that the place was very expensive, but I disagree. A bottle of high-quality wine was less than $25, that in combination with the dinner show you get for free and the quality of the food is a true bargain. In another review, I read something about they scam you with tip, which isn't true either, 18%tax is added at the end, like most Georgian places do. Lastly, about the service, we Americans are used to a waiter that comes by your table 6 times in 10 minutes, constantly asking if everything is okay. In Georgia, that is considered rude. Especially if you're dining as a couple, they will leave you be unless you signal them. Once you realize that you'll find out that service isn't slow, it's just from a longer distance than we are used to.

I was confused about reviews. Very negative and very positive. Let’s separate. My purpose was to see Georgian dances and polyphonic singing. There was no other option to see it as a performance, so the only way was to order a place at evening together with performance at this restaurant. Performance. Perfect. I had a luck to see Georgian National dance ballet in my city. Here guys were as good as you can imagine. Plus singers were perfect, 5 stars for all of them! Food. Was bad. I ordered mushrooms with chestnut. Over salted, first dish in Georgia I didn’t finish. I could not with all my love for mushrooms. Service. Lika the waitress was fine. She was not really looking after my table in terms of water and wine re-filling but maybe it’s cultural and I was solo at my table, maybe it’s just her focus was where the business was going (family tables). But. When paying I asked for the bill, I saw they have 18% tips included. Alright. Because it’s a ‘luxury’ place I wanted to add to 20%. So I told make it 85 (see the pic) but what a surprise the outcome was 94 gel. Then she simply disappeared, she saw me checking the recipe, making an eye contact and disappearing. Result. This place might have been good but it’s a scam now. No joy in food, no service. I would be much happier to pay all this money just to artists.

My friend and I have got our visit arranged via Viator, therefore, the reservation, pickup, drop off, and other stuff were handled by the agent. The place is really vast and tricky; three levels (ground and two floors below), with different setup and decorations. If you like to be close to live performance, then you should choose the -2 floor (if I could call it so!), where you will be overlooking a river (open area), and can watch the singers and dancers. The food is average in general, but you will have a rich menu, while the prices are a bit higher compared to similar Georgian restaurants, but in fact, you are paying for the surroundings and vibe! Please note that you should make the reservation –at least a week– in advance, and it is highly recommended to avoid agents, in order for you to avoid the set menu, and hence have the freedom of ordering your preferred items.

Wasting of time and money! Very average place mostly overvalued by tourists. Don’t expect to taste real Georgian cuisine there. Long list menu with many dishes and unfortunately waiters absolutely not helpful. Even worse they will be laughing in front of you when you ask them for recommendation. Food quality is absolutely the same as you can get in the cheap cafe in the old city centre. However, in this restaurant you pay three times more. Music is the only nice thing despite the fact that musicians are so bored with whatever they do. Dance performance is the same as music. Looks like all artists are forced to perform, you hardly can find smile on their faces. Service is extremely annoying. Seems like waiters are so eager to bring you as much discomfort as possible.

We saw the pictures of the restaurant and decided to visit. The pictures don't do justice to how beautiful the place is. You have to experience it in person. The staff was lovely. Speedy, with great English. The food was absolutely delicious. 10/10 would come again. We got the stew in a clay pot, ribs, cucumber + tomato + walnut salad, and some grilled veggies. We loved everything. Despite our personal choice, know that there are plenty of local dishes to choose from. Note: Do not try to make a reservation via email. All emails listed on their website either don't work or no one responds. We didn't end up needing a reservation, though, since there was enough free tables.
