I am staying at Metropol Hotel and decided to give their restaurant a try. It’s advertised as fine dining. I ordered beef carpaccio and salmon dishes, glass of sparkling and a glass of white wine, with bottle of still water. Tap water was not an option. I arrived without reservation at 6:30pm and was greeted by a woman who appeared professional, friendly and well mannered. The views are spectacular from here and both indoor and outdoor seating is available. I was not asked about my preference and was shown to a table. I was promptly offered a drink and a food menu but was not asked for a drink until 10 minutes after. I was ready to order way before as I had a very limited time. While this place is very laid back and I love that, staff awareness was lacking. Barman was preparing drinks without keeping an eye on the floor, waiter was busy around and he did not pay attention to me until he was ready. The host came to charge her mobile and chat with a bartender several times and I was forced to listen about her life story as restaurant was very quiet although nice music was playing in the background. My waiter only spoke English which was opposite from my experience at hotel reception. At hotel reception I was asked to speak Serbian as they did not understand English. English is my preferred language however I wonder what would have happened if I did not know English. While white table cloths and prices may fool you this was not silver service nor fine dining restaurant as advertised. My wine glasses and cutlery as well as clearing of the table lacked basic knowledge of hospitality service and protocol. The most disappointing part of my evening was value for money and food. The bill came to over 7000drs. Carpaccio was small serve for the price and lacked flavour and presentation. Adding house-made grissini, truffle oil, lemon, and rocket leaves instead of butter lettuce would have been a better match. Instead balsamic glaze was added and bunch of leaves with Parmesan crumbs. Salmon was thin, overcooked as well as asparagus which you could not cut well as stem was not snapped at the right place and was tough in spite being over cooked. Both creamy quinoa and beetroot purée lacked seasoning and flavour and I am not sure where honey mustard pudding went. Very disappointing dish. Sadly very disappointing experience. Sorry guys.
