So, my experience here is colored by the fact that I'm a super-fan of Old Town Sarajevo. I didn't expect this place to be equally as fantastic but at least solid. So, armed with that knowledge, I cannot bring myself to give this place more than two so-so stars. \n\nAt first I thought it was quirky when I read that this place has Italian and Serbian menus. But apparently, a new owner took over about a month ago and decided to revise the menu and put the Serbian menu all in Serbian (!). I asked the manager/sole server if they had an English version--even though I already knew what the answer was: No. His suggestion: \"You can just Google everything.\" True but what about customers who don't have smart phones? Sigh.\n\nThis place is in a strip mall--of course. You walk in and the interior is quite spacious. But it seemed like we were in a cheesy hotel restaurant in Las Vegas. There were big columns, a bar, speakers and lots of plastic trees. What was also kind of eerie was that except for two women and their rambunctious two children, the place was empty. And this was a Saturday night. There were about seven or eight people on the front patio. But most of them were men smoking and chatting and taking their time before ordering any food. Not a good sign that so few people came between 6 and 8 p.m. on a Saturday. I know it was Labor Day weekend but still...if this place is still around in a year, I will start to wonder if there is a Serbian mafia.\n\nBecause of my cold, I asked if I could get a cup of hot water which seemed to really throw our server. I thought if the place serves hot tea, they might offer it. But he said he could only give me hot water from the tap. I dunno, I just thought it was strange a request like that would weird a restaurant worker out. \n\nNow onto the food. I had chicken soup because I was trying to fight off a cold. It was fine, not too salty as chicken soup tends to be. It hit the right spot but it's just a footnote. What I was really eager to try was their take on the cevapi. Basically a sausage sandwich. I was quite disappointed. Maybe I wouldn't be if it weren't for how other places turned me onto Serbian food. The sausages were fine and had enough seasonings. But the bread was blech. They were like giant crumpets/English muffins, not pita bread. The outside had charred streaks which tells you it was in an oven. But the underside of both pieces of bread had the texture of those last bites of French toast that have been sitting in the syrup too long. It just wasn't pleasant on the tongue. The plate came with onions and sour cream. \n\nI was disappointed that the new menu dropped some items I wanted to try like stuffed cabbage rolls. I think this new owner needs to restore a few things. However, I doubt I will come here again just because I know where I can get similar food that's better tasting in my opinion. But I do wish them well."^^ .
