Reviews
This place had a great view to watch the sunset, as you can guess from the name 😁. I got the Chicken Supreme, which was really good. My server was very attentive and friendly — some of the other guys were dismissive and semi-rude but I got lucky with my server for sure. The menu was good, I had a hard time choosing because everything sounded great.
We visited during the hottest part of the day in June and wanted to work from there for a while. Unfortunately, most of the shaded tables were unavailable. The waiter told us they could not be used because they had no cushions, leaving us with no choice but to sit in direct sunlight. We asked for an umbrella to be opened and waited pertty much for that to happen, with little communication or urgency from the staff. The waiter seemed quite disengaged throughout our visit. Based on this experience, I wouldn't recommend Sunset if you're looking for a comfortable place to sit in the shade, relax, or work during hot weather.
I celebrated my birthday here and it was great. We booked the 1st floor for us with a buffet and a small indoor playground, which all the kids liked a lot. The terrace was great for taking photos. But the best of all was hospitality, capability and the experience from Tijana and her staff. They made my special day worry free and everything went smoothly. I highly recommended this place for any type of celebration especially if you have kids.
Note: review is based on experience out of season. This is one of our favorite restaurants outdoors. It is on Ada lake, with beach sitting area and large playground for children. Playground- slides and sand area are available. Food is tasty, portions are big and prices are reasonable. Indoor are is very nice and cosy.
