Unfortunately, my experience was very disappointing. I found the owner to be unprofessional and disrespectful, particularly toward Russian-speaking individuals. Based on my interaction, I would not recommend visiting or doing business here. In my opinion, such behavior is not acceptable from anyone operating a business.

Respond to your last note As a business owner, the least you can do is offer a polite apology when a customer expresses a valid concern. Instead, you chose to argue, deflect blame, and refuse to take accountability—not just with me, but with others who’ve experienced similar treatment at your establishment. Rather than addressing what actually happened, you seem more concerned about defending your ego and political views than running a professional, welcoming business. If you truly feel more aligned with another country, perhaps that’s where you should open your business instead of operating in Lithuania while dismissing local customers’ experiences and concerns. It’s disappointing to see a business ignore feedback and choose pride over humility. A good owner listens, learns, and makes it right—not attacks the people keeping their doors open. Shame on how this was handled. I sincerely hope others are more aware before spending their hard-earned money here.

5/30/2025 Thank you for your message. I would like to clarify a few important points—openly and with full respect. First, I speak multiple languages—more than four—and I do not judge anyone based on their nationality, language, or where they come from. I treat all people equally, because at our core, we are all human beings with the same right to dignity. Second, I have never contacted your restaurant and spoken in Russian, nor have I attempted to impose any language on your business. That claim is untrue and misrepresents who I am and how I interact. I did not “leave Lithuania for good.” I moved to the U.S. to align with my professional goals, but Klaipeda remains close to my heart. I return often because I value my roots—not to create problems, but to stay connected to my origins. It is vital, especially in business, to distinguish between political views and customer service. Choosing not to speak a certain language due to past experiences may be personal, but projecting those views onto current customers can isolate people unfairly. Speaking Russian, for many, is not a political gesture—it is simply the language they were raised with, especially in post-Soviet spaces. Lastly, I want to be clear: I do not seek to harm or “bankrupt” anyone’s business. I support mutual success and respectful coexistence. I have visited your restaurant and wished you well. May your business continue to thrive—and may we all grow toward more understanding, not division. 6-2-2025

Formal Notice – Cease and Desist I have filed a formal complaint with the EU Discrimination Commission regarding your most recent review, which I believe crossed a legal and ethical line. Please be advised that I am proceeding further with my complaint, and I request that you cease and desist all further communication with me effective immediately. I strongly recommend that you retain legal counsel...

No wheelchairs are welcome. But it’s not the main problem. A site looked pretty good, except for the evil old man at the entrance. No one started talking to him in Russian, but hearing an apparently Eastern European accent, he suddenly started hysterics, saying that he didn't speak Russian and didn't let him in in the best traditions of the guards of Czechoslovakia in the 80s. Although no one asked him to speak Russian, Polish, Ukrainian or Czech. Madness. Such people do much more good for evil than propagandists. And in Lithuania, the majority are not like him, but normal. And the EU and government's policy is not aimed at discriminating against people with an Eastern European accent - in no circumstances. Living Lietuvoje few years it was first time with this experience :( All languages, accents and places of birthdays have been always welcome Lietuvoje, exclude one certain place with a guard. Let's hope that in a few years he will go to another world in, and the beautiful independent and hospitable Lithuania will be left without him. But the review will remain. I wish it would happen...

We rented a spacious 2 bedroom apartment for 2 weeks. Although the weather didn't cooperate there is so much to see and do around the unit with just a walk. The buiding is located right next to a restored sailing ship on the canal. Across the canal is cultural facility where both weekends we filled with musical and craft shows. Its a walk along the canal to the sea; one side to the old ferry which takes you across the Spit to the dolphin show, the other side of the canal past many restaurants and restored units of the city. Watch the canoes, kayaks and racing shells pass on the canal as you have your morning coffee or tea.||Buses pass the unit on Tiltu Avenue which can take you to the train/bus station (#8 and 10 every 15 minutes) or all the way across the city. A central farmers market is short way too with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. ||The rooms are huge with comfortable beds and nice antiques. Plenty of hot water in the shower. The kitchen has a 2 burner, infrared hot plate (no oven) but we brought our slow cooker and were fine for...
