LD RESTAURANT

Super Rude staff, not as good as they see

LD Terrace is completely deserving of its Michelin star. We had the regular and vegetarian tasting menus with wine pairings. Both were outstanding as were all of the wines. The visual presentation of each dish was beautiful. Our table was alongside the Adriatic. It was an amazing evening.

Another amazing restaurant in old city Korcula.

✖️THEY CANCELLED ON US AT THE DOOR✖️???? it’s a shame to have to write this, but important to flag (read more details here):

????so as avid believers in the Michelin Guide (see my other reviews), we were SO excited to eat here. However, we showed up to the door at our reservation, to be told AT THE DOOR “sorry, it’s too windy”
????speaking to the waiter some more, he said that they did have some space inside - but a party had booked all the tables
???? was told that they used to have more space inside, but the owner covert some of the space into a flat ????BIG thumbs down for putting personal intrest over the food ????

✖️think the main thing that’s left me to write this is NO COMMUNICATION. They said they sent an email (they didn’t - or at least we didn’t receive anything), but for a place with a star - call people? Text people? If you cannot seat them - erm, booked them into a place you like? Be helpful?
✖️the star is more then just the food, it’s the experience. Getting turned away at the door with nothing, left us both REALLY disappointed.

Gets some suggestions:
????you need some ‘back up’ indoor space. Bura windows are common here (I know that for sailing). There is a lot of unused space in old town, this could be a deal to use another restaurant space - or similar
????call people - try to sort something different. If you cannot do it, offer to book people into other local restaurants which you like (lots of good food here).
????consider relocation, as noticed number area in old town are better sheltered (we eat at one)

You’d find others would have appreciated the effort and might have left you a good review even if they didn’t eat with you.

We were not the only one disappointed by this, we saw other guest annoyed.

Please try harder and have back up plans if this happens again.

FANTASTIC EXPERIENCE. Tasting menu for lunch, 100% recommended
