Nice place at the bank of the harbor bay. Tables are inside but when the weather (and sunshine) permits they pull up the shades and open the windows. The food was good and the local wines were also good. Especially liked the home made bread with the owner's own olive oil.

We had a reservation and came on a hot day, they moved us to a cooler table which was a nice move right at the start. As a party of 4, we had 3 risotto- black, green and white, fried calamari, grilled calamari and grilled clam (cockle) with swiss chard, green pods and homemade potato chips. The food was well prepared and served nicely. The risotto was a tad overcooked but very tasty, served in a parmesan bowl, the black one was the best. Clams were great, especially with a tad of lemon they came with. Calamari was very nice, fried and grilled, tender and nicely seasoned. Swiss chard was missing some salt, potato chips were great. The dessert - creme brûlée and tiramisu - light, refreshing and nice. Fish and other seafood is fresh, so they dont have all things on the menu all the time(some things are just not caught or delivered). I would the wine card to be a bit richer, they only have one wine available. And one thing i have to object is the music, common for the area but annoying nevertheless. At least it wasnt very loud, so I could ignore it most of the time. Overall, the experience was very nice and we will be coming again. Service, staff is great. Someone said they judge by clothes - we were dressed as people coming from the beach, it sure aint about the clothes :)

Food and service were great. I went two days in a row. Great grill. My chicken was very tasty, potatoes and spinach delish. Service was excellent and the location was right on the sea. If you are Italian, take a miss on the panacotta and have a coffee instead.

Bistro Konoba Lucija is a magnificent with an excellent view and nice food. From the menu we tried seabass & dorado fish and without doubt enjoyed it very much. Nonetheless, the place was little bit overcrowded and the tables were quiet close to each other for the pandemic time.

We only stopped by for a drink with a view but would come back for dinner as it seems like such a good restaurant and the staff are welcoming and friendly.
