Bonazza restaurant Kotor — Restaurant in Dobrota

Took me some time to share this with you. Come with some friends from New York city, Charlotte North Carolina, Miami and Italy, most of them are into hospitality world, and I want to show them little Gem of Boka Bay. Voyo Knezevic from Setai hotel in Miami was impressed. I choose this authentic Balkan Seafood restaurant. From the moment we walked in, the ambiance transported us straight to the heart of the Mediterranean. The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with tasteful decor, soft lighting, and just the right background music to set the mood for a relaxing dining experience.

The service was exceptional—friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive without being intrusive. Our server took the time to explain the menu and offer excellent wine pairings. Owner of the restaurant help him with wine selection who push more local wines, but we still prefer Italian or Californian. Great wine list and Pedja was amazing.

As for the food—absolutely outstanding! Every dish was full of fresh, vibrant flavors. We started with the grilled octopus, which was perfectly tender and seasoned. The main courses, including branzino grilled with Dalmatian vegetables and seafood risotto, were cooked to perfection and beautifully presented. The olive oil used was clearly high quality, and the herbs and spices gave each dish a genuine Mediterranean touch. Salat so fresh.

Don’t skip dessert! The homemade dessert is the beet.

Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience authentic Mediterranean cuisine with top-notch service. We will definitely be coming...

We ordered fish platter for 2 people. That was very delicious, okay but servers and their attitudes were grumpy. They have prejudice against Turks. Service price is included, the server insistently want tip “bahşiş bahşiş” although there is no care for our table. I know that they will answer this review by putting Turkish flag and thumbs up and confirm their bad attitude.

My answer to the restaurant;

First of all, I didn’t make negative comment about food’s quality. I don’t question about the experiences of your servers. However, he didn’t serve the plates on the table, serve by giving my friends’ hands so they haven’t so much experience as you said. They bothered us with bad attitudes and grumpy faces. We said we don’t want drinks but he asked three times not once. Your restaurant is not experimental place so I can drink or eat whatever I want. Your experience is discursive. If you explained why a bottle of water is not allowed, we would appreciate that but the server just asked to remove it aggressively. In well-experienced restaurants, bill is received with internationally accepted language “English” so customers may know that tip is included or not.

In our culture, customers are above everything and servers are very friendly but in your establishment it has become a culture to boost the customers ego and differentiate customers based on their status.

All in all, I recommend this restaurant if you tolerate this kind of...
