California Tapas & Wine Bar — Restaurant in Vilnius

We sat on the terrace because the place looked nice. Nicely located on the edge of the square and nice cars were passing by at a quiet pace. We mainly ate tapas, which tasted quite good. There were a few problems with the service, however... The waiter spilled an Aperol Spritz on the table when she brought them to the table. Naturally, a little of the drink was also spilled on us. The waiter only acknowledged this with a quick apology and brought a few small pieces of paper with which I could dry the table myself. I had to dig out my own tissues because the paper he brought wasn't enough. The table was sticky. Next, the waiter brought the wrong drink to one of our tables. Luckily, she went to get the drink we ordered and another person in our party drank the "wrong" one. There was a bit of a "sloppy" atmosphere, even though there were no people inside at all, and the terrace wasn't full. Perhaps someday in near future she will be better...

My partner and I came for dinner on a Thursday night, and at first, it was just 2 of us. It seemed strange but didn't bother us too much. The music was of a strange choice (mainly 90s/00s or earlier) but again, didn't bother us too much. The service was also nice, the waitress was very helpful. But the food... We had pimiento peppers (4 or 5 on a plate), prawns in oil (a bit spicy but no other taste), cheese platter (with one cheese), and shared a main of sea food platter. The seafood platter wasn't great to say the least, no taste, no presentation, it was meant to have octopus and had 2 tiny ends of octopus legs. It wasn't much, it wasn't tasty either. We left near 100 eur, and we don't think the food was worth it...

Service was great. The waitress was doing a great job coming regularly and looking after customers. Décor were great loved cosy atmosphere. Now let's move to food. The Camembert starter was great I did enjoy it, but I would change chutney to something different. BBQ ribs needed some love. They were tender and juicy but it was missing something called seasoning. The food tasted one dimensional it needed a nice BBQ glaze. The chicken was super juicy but once again the taste was one dimensional it missed final execution and I could say that to both dishes. The following place was recommended as my friends had a great time, but this time the food was below average and I could do myself...
