Vaidilutė — Restaurant in Palanga

First of all I would like to say that the food in this place is nice, 3 stars are just an overal view off all things combined. Once arrived we were greeted by a new member of staff, witch is why Is ok she did not yet know daily soup or some other things (although the supervisor or the kitchen here is to make sure that all members off staff know simple things like daily menu etc. ) but thats ok, no big deal. The restaurant wasnt busy but we did not mind to wait for our food anyway so it was all not bad timing. We ordered eggs benedicts, daily soup, and meatballs. I must say the portions were really nice size, the food was tasty , although I was missing some flavors or salt in my dishes. But regardless I was going to rate food 5 stars for the price and location, the salt can be added, not a problem. However what really lowered the score is lack of care in general. Tables were dirty, the benches for sitting was super dusty had some crust on it too, tissues were not filled up in holders, cutlery was not polished. We polished it with the tissues from another table. And lastly childrens toilet was terrible. I mean the changing mat was soooo dirty it put me off completelly. I could not change my baby there. Underneath of changing mat and the sides of the mat was not cleaned for a super long time, and I am not being horrible or anything but I regreted I went to toilet lastly because the way how it looks it shows that nobody cares or wants our money. And its a real shame, a good restaurant is not only good food is the overal experience. Food was great I can say again, but...

Place reeks of deep Lithuanian province. The building itself and the location have potential, but the way it's currently run is not much to write home about. They get away with it all due to not having any competitors immediately nearby.

Service: tall blond waitress with facial piercings selectively ignores customers - you come there wanting to have a main course but she blankly ignores you and randomly chooses to serve a couple of her age who arrived later than you and order the cheapest dishes from the menu. No apologies whatsoever and only arrogant attitude when you point out that you had been waiting for longer. Luckily her colleagues were nicer.

Food: the menu looks as it offers international dishes, but those are likely local Lithuanian interpretations of them. The flavours are not bad, but just don't expect e.g. fish&chips the same way like they are in the UK. But you will get a nice complementary side salad as a healthy bonus. 🙂

Music: this is also a live music venue. Don't know what sort of gigs they normally have, but this week's posters looked sad and provincial.

Go without too high expectations, and, if you want to sample the exotics of a still post-soviet Lithuanian style customer non-service, seek for the tall blond waitress with...

I have mixed feelings about this place. Food was good but a bit cold. Also, nugarine was very hard to chew. Burger was ok. I know its a busy day, being a national holiday, but i wish at least food was not cold. Service was super slow. We waited 30 mins just to receive our bill. While slow, at least waiters are friendly. On the positive side, the place is conveniently located close to beach and has nice view to...
