Spica - Bar And Restaurant — Restaurant in Bled

I wish I could give this place 0 stars. I've not eaten such a bad dish in ages. It all started with the male waiter who was unfriendly, didn't guide us to our table and just dropped the menu's on the table. The menu did look good so all was forgotten. During our order the waiter didn't ask if I wanted anything to drink, which is pretty unsual as my friend did get a drink. All fine, that can happen, but with the attitude it was already very annoying. We ordered some soup and a schnitzel, which only had the option chicken as the veal was not available. I asked for fries instead of the baked potatoes for my schnitzel. After our order the menu's were directly passed to our neighbors without any corona cleaning. The soup was served very fast and the Mushrooms Soup smelled and tasted a bit like rotten meat, but it was reasonable. In the mean time I had to ask for a drink. After this we got the schnitzel served. It was a mess, there were fries on my plate for 6 people and the "baked" (read fried) potatoes were soaked in grease (I could do my hair with it, see picture). The schnitzel was dry and very tasteless. It was awful. We finished half our plate and wanted to go home. After 20 minutes of waiting for someone to come to us we desided to walk to the bar and pay there. The male waiter shouldn't be doing a job like this if you can't satify your customer even a little. Now 1 hour later our bellies are hurting because of the awful food. Adding to this we had to pay 45 euro's for this discusting meal with disgusting service. Never ever go...

Starting with the bad part of the experience:

Horrible service. Waitress seems she came out of a horror movie. Doesn't know what a smile is and is simply cold.

My wife ordered a soup and she brought it immediately, instead of bringing both together. Mine came approx. 15 min after. Isn't this obvious? As I had a pizza, I thought it was coming very soon, since it was a Napolitan pizza.

I parked on the side of the restaurant and asked the waiter if it would be fine, he said "at your own risk", which is fair enough. Because of that, we chose a table that would allow us to look at the car occasionally. The cold waitress told us in a rude manner No. This is your table (pointing at another). Don't worry with your car.", after I asked if it was ok to sit there. As this was a major effort for her, ridiculous. Additionally, her colleague had just tell us "at your own risk".

Overpriced prices for what it is (Bled Cake costs more than the Cafe wich serves the original recipe with an amazing view to the castle.). Simple pizza almost 15 eur (more expensive than any very good Napolitan pizzeria in the city we live in, which is the most expensive in Germany). Not the end of the world, but you still feel you're paying the Bled Lake price and feel a stupid tourist. (:The good side:

Great...

As a hotel employee in Bled, I have been recommending this restaurant to our guests for the past three years, sending guests their way based on positive feedback and the convenient location.

Today, I decided to try the restaurant myself, and unfortunately, my experience was disappointing. While the wait staff were very friendly and put in a good effort, the overall dining experience left much to be desired.

To begin with, there was a slip of paper from the kitchen on my soup plate with drops of soup all over it, which was unsanitary. For my salad, I was not asked if I wanted dressings/condiments and nor were they provided. I therefore had to go look for them myself.

The food quality was also subpar. The chicken in the salad was overcooked and very dry, and the burger meat was similarly overcooked and dry. The dumplings were decent but bland and not particularly impressive.

I also felt that the ambience was ruined by the impatient kitchen staff, as they could be heard unnecessarily over-ringing the order bell throughout the entire dining experience

Given this experience, I will no longer be recommending this restaurant to our guests. I am truly disappointed. I have attached the receipt as proof...
