JOY foodbar — Restaurant in Martin

I would not recommend this place. We were disappointed by the experience. We ordered three course menu, the appetiser was good but nothing special fried rice with salmon. The main dish was a joke. They brought us cold food consisting of pumpkin purée, grilled vegetables and a steak. We kindly asked for new portions and the waitress came back with words I don’t know whose plate was whose - they should have prepared new dish - very unprofessional. The meat was low quality and very chewy which spoiled the whole experience. The desert was again okay but nothing special. The staff were somewhat friendly but clearly lacking hospitality experience. When we were paying they didn’t want to give us a receipt for unknown reasons and after a discussion we got a receipt for drinks.

This is a new restaurant so they have a chance to improve their food, and create nice and...

We visited on a Saturday afternoon at lunch time and we were the only ones in the restaurant the whole time. The staff had loud Spanish music blasting which was very annoying, I asked to turn the music down but it was still too loud and absolutely not suitable music for this type of restaurant. I ordered the bao buns with pork belly and I have to say it was extremely bland , the meat was neither grilled or fried, just boiled it seemed? The vegetables bleh as well (definitely from a precut pack). For the price I expected a lot more flavor and definitely better presentation as well as a more inviting atmosphere inside the restaurant. Wouldn’t...

Predjedlá neboli ničím výnimočné. Z nápojov bola veľkým sklamaním limonáda, o ktorej som netušil, že sa dá pokaziť. Chutila ako voda z vodovodu so žltým farbivom do jedla. Hlavné jedlá boli ľahký nadpriemer - neboli ohorujúce, ale určite nie zlé. Porcie boli adekvátne.

Čo sa dá reštaurácii najviac vypichnúť sú ceny - z rôznych dôvodov nekorešpondujú s kvalitou zážitku (dekorácia priestorov, kvalita a prezentácia jedla). Pochopiteľne vysoké očakávania z toho, ako sa reštaurácia navonok prezentuje a aké ceny si od zákazníkov pýta, končia sklamaním. Sumy by som považoval za primerané, ak by boli o 20-30% nižšie.

Osobitou kuriozitou je atmosféra a dizajn reštaurácie. Bijú sa tu asi 3 umelecké slohy, ktoré vás tým viac mätú, čím viac sa na ne sústredíte. Okná sú špinavé a tým je pokazený inak nádherný výhľad na starú budovu Policajného zboru. Umelá zeleň dáva lacný nádych cekovému dojmu.

Personál bol milý a ochotný, obsluha bola rýchla.

Celkovo mi príde, že reštaurácia sa snaží prezentovať ako miesto na luxusný zážitok. Ten však neponúka a musí zapracovať vo viacerých smeroch, alebo plošne znížiť ceny produktov, aby bol zážitok...
