Forty Four Restaurant

We visited the restaurant which was amazing. I had dietary requirements which the waiter was more than happy to help me with. Me and my partner had amazing meals, all presented beautifully! A great experience thank you.

We only dined in the restaurant. It was a great experience. Our server was charismatic and great at recommending local dishes and wines. We did a table side fish special that was excellent! The local prosciutto is delicious! The poached pear dessert was also good!

We came here as a group of six hedging our bets without a reservation on a Saturday night. We were given a lovely table at the rear of the restaurant. Across our table we had a range of dishes and were all very impressed with the flavours and presentation of our food. My only criticism would be the size of the main meals as these felt small given the price of food in this restaurant. Our server was really friendly with brilliant knowledge of the food and wine on the menu. If you are looking for some fine dining in Dubrovnik in a lovely central location in the Old town I would definitely recommend a visit the Forty Four.

Cannot comment on the hotel but we had an excellent dinner and service at the restaurant. Ordered the sea bass and swordfish main plates and they did not disappoint. Our server offered a delicious liquor as a dessert alternative (home made). Would recommend!

The food was good, but definitely not worth the price in my opinion.

I has the seafood risotto and my partner had the tuna steak. The risotto was ok, but nothing special in my opinion; the tuna steak was delicious! However, the portions are really small for the price you pay.

If I were to ignore the prices, I would probably give a 4 starts review for the experience. But all in all, I believe there are many other restaurants in Dubrovnik that are better when it comes to price quality ratio. The waiters were nice and very attentive and the location is cute and central.

We visited the restaurant to make a reservation in person, 3 days before the actual date. We asked for a specific table outside (we don’t like to sit inside during a summer holiday when the weather is nice) upon recommendation of the staff. The specific table got confirmed and a credit card guarantee was needed to complete the booking.
We arrived 2 min before our reservation - only to see to our big disappointment that our table was taken by another couple.
The manager Mark quickly came to us, profusely apologizing and offered us a 20% discount - with a table inside. The lady who took our reservation was there too- she just shrugged and did not seem to care much. Mistakes can happen - but such behavior is not the way to go in hospitality.

We got seated inside- and Mark immediately offered us a drink to start with. Then, unfortunately it took 40 min until our appetizers were served. I wanted to order the swordfish from their menu as a main course - and was told it wasn’t available anymore. Our reservation was at 8pm- how can a dish already be gone?

The food: it was fantastic. Beautifully presented and simply very delicious. Highly recommendable.
Our server Antonio was very friendly, welcoming and eager to please the customer.

After finishing our appetizer, it took a while for our empty plates to be taken away. I understand each server is in charge of a certain area in a restaurant- but many a times other servers passed by our table empty handed. Not good. Even if it’s not your area, servers should be attentive and take away empty plates when they pass by.

When our dessert was served, I picked up our spoons and to our horror, they were both dirty. They both still had chocolate from previous customers on both sides of the spoon. Absolutely unacceptable. (See pictures)

At the end of our dinner, we had a nice, constructive conversation with Mark. We gave our big compliments to the chef- and to Antonio our server, and shared the problems we had tonight. Mark received them very well, deeply apologized once again, and on top of the discount, our drinks had been taken care of as well.

We wish the restaurant well- as the food was truly excellent - so with fine tuning in the details- it will then deserve 5 stars.
(and we personally think the ambience inside would be much nicer when the lights are dimmed as we felt it was too bright)

Thank you Mark for making our evening better which hadn’t started well.

Such a great find in Dubrovnik. Our waiter was Alberto, sold us on everything (he was definitely right about it). The food, wine, ambiance everything was perfect. A great dinner and an excellent service.

Also Alberto went above and beyond to charge my phone and meet every need we may have.

I don't recall a hotel but the restaurant was good. We ordered two fresh fish and veggies. They also served us bread with some delicious olive oil. The service was fantastic and we especially liked it waiter who impressed us with how fast he could take the fish and cut it up into our plates. The fish was some of the best in Croatia but unfortunately I didn't get the name of the fish. Great service great food.
