Toda Nida — Restaurant in Neringa

Absolutely infuriated!

The food was delicious, which is why we came back for a second visit. I booked a table a day in advance, expecting to have a great experience. We were 15 minutes late, and instead of handling it professionally, the waiter threw a snarky remark at us: "Other people booked a table a month ago," all because we politely asked if we could sit at a different table. We were brushed off, and yet we still waited for 20 minutes before they finally bothered to take our order.

But the real shock came after we started eating. Barely a few minutes into our meal, another rude waiter came back to inform us that we had 10 minutes to finish because other people were coming—apparently, the reservation was only for an hour and a half. At the same time - other table gets possibility to order desert, even though they, also, came for the same 1:30h dinner. We were absolutely stunned! This was the first time anyone mentioned this absurd time limit, with half of our food still on the table. I asked, "Why didn’t anyone tell us this when I booked, when we arrived, or when we ordered?" No answer, just dismissive behavior.

We asked to speak to the manager, hoping for some basic decency. But no, the waiter came back and simply said, “The situation is the same,” and then—get this—started clearing our plates while we were still eating! The sheer disrespect was mind-blowing. This is how they treat returning customers?

It’s an absolute joke. We will never be coming back after this. Think twice before wasting your time...

The food was of high quality and decent amount of details. The presentation itself supports the status of a good restaurant. Taste-wise I wouldn't recommend the cod spread. It was okay, but nothing special. Some lightly salted pate in my opinion. The bread was fresh and tasty. Lamb starter was great, my fiancé really liked it. The fish was fresh and tasty. I would recommend it but it is not for 2 persons as presented in a menu, it is a good portion for an adult man. Refer to photo. The chickpeas as garnish is questionable, but it's subjective - I am just not a fan of chickpeas. The hot potato was delicious, but in our case it was served almost cold. Otherwise - a great dish. Also, we felt quite lonely (waiter forgot about us as soon as the food was ordered). To summarise it's a good restaurant with good presentation, but some or the aspects could be improved to be exceptionally good. The atmosphere is great, loved...

From the moment I walked in, the vibe was spot on — cozy, modern, and effortlessly chill. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, have a great conversation, and enjoy food that actually surprises you in the best way.

The entire menu was impressive — every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and packed with flavor. You can really tell the kitchen puts care into the details, from presentation to ingredients. Whether you’re stopping by for a casual evening or something a bit more special, Toda delivers on all fronts.

Highly recommend — this spot is a gem.

P.s. our waiter with mustache and a middle part (don’t know his name) was a really cool and chill guy....
