The entire experience was beyond expectations! Every aspect of our dinner was excellent. The view, the food, the service! One of the appetizers, the meatballs, is one of the most rich and flavorful dishes that we have ever had the pleasure of eating!!

Bar Vlaha was absolutely delicious! While being high-end cuisine, it had a very homestyle feel to it. The food was hearty and tasty, not intimidating. Would highly recommend!
