Traditional Dalmatian seafood and grill with generous portions and warm ambiance, but service speed and consistency vary widely.
Konoba More delivers honest, charcoal-grilled Dalmatian seafood in a warm, rustic setting that resonates with regulars and travelers seeking traditional Croatian fare. Food quality shines when the kitchen executes—fresh grilled squid, rich black risotto, generous platters—but quality varies noticeably across visits, with occasional dry meats and long waits undermining the experience. The neighborhood konoba charm and loyal following are genuine, yet inconsistent service and execution keep it competitive with, rather than ahead of, the area's better-regarded seafood restaurants.
The room feels warm and rustic, a neighborhood konoba where a lunchtime piano sometimes drifts over the charcoal grill’s aroma. Guests talk about a server remembering them and the fish platter cooked over coals, while others note long waits at peak and the occasional mix-up. A representative voice: "We left full and happy, but mains took their time." The cooking leans traditional Dalmatian: black risotto, grilled squid, mixed fish platters, pašticada, and peka by pre-order. When the kitchen hits stride, seafood tastes clean and smoky from the grill, soups are rich, and portions generous. On off nights, meats can run dry or lukewarm and risotto turns heavy, so expectations should be set for honest classics rather than showy plating. For families, it is kid-friendly by menu: simple pastas like Bolognese or Napolitana, fried cheese, grilled chicken, fries, and rice. Picky eaters can steer to chicken and pasta while adventurous kids may enjoy grilled calamari. No formal kids’ menu is listed, but the sides and straightforward mains make it workable.
