Unfortunately this was probably the worst restaurant experience in my whole life. Party of 3 stopped at AMFORA TROGIR. We were looking at the menu outside, the hostess lady was kind and showed us a table.
We went for the flish platter for 2 with a side of whole potatoes, grilled vegtables to share between us. As a starter we had some spring roles.
So now to get to the point. Service was okay. Nothing special, but it was fine. Drinks were water and zero coke, so nothing wrong with that. The starter was nice. Typical spring roles with 2 dips. We did like those.
After the starter we had the main dish. We did have to wait a bit long for it (concidering the table next to us ordered 4 of those platters and got them much faster).
That was not a problem. I am a professional waiter with 20 years of experience. I know it can be busy sometimes. Anyway, once the food came out there was a small mistake: we got some spinache I think instead of the grilled vegtables. It was not a big deal, mistakes happen. I told the waiter and he solved the problem. Meanwhile we wanted to make a photo so we asked another waiter if he would kindly take a photo of us. He was nice and did that for us. After the photo I helped the ladies with portioning the fish and I also peeled the scampi for my girlfriend because she never had it before. Anyway, the food was between slightly warm and cool. The potatoes were probably the warmest of all. The scampi was not hot at all, the peeling was nearly impossible. Very dry. The fish was also almost cold. Flavour was not bad though. Squid was rubbery and also nearly cold. I do know that squid is not tender, but when it gets cold it is very bad. The ladies with me are both very shy, also not experts so they do not know what to do in circumstances like this. However I knew that this was bad. I asked them if they liked it or not and told them this should be hot. I also told them that if they do not like it then stop eating it because after that it is hard to complain. I usually do not like to send food back. I was going to struggle and just eat it but I said hell no. It was just that bad.
Basically we left most of the squid, the second fish (half on the platter, other half on my plate. Scampi and muscles were basically 1 bite each, so hard to leave that. The grilled vegatables side dish was 8.5€. It did not look like it looked on the menu picture and the size was just a joke. You can look at the menu picture and our photo we took. I will add it below. Not even close. It also did not taste nice.
So anyway, we did eat some of the food, but mainly because we were super hungry already and the ladies are too shy. I knew that. However, when the waiter finally came by (he was at another table doing his job) I told him that it is not good and it should not be like that. He took the plate back to the kitchen area amd after a few minutes he cam back saying:
"My boss said you already ate it. Do you want me to take it away or leave it?"
I said he can take it away, but I would like something warm instead of that because that was cold. I am not going to pay for that plate like that. He left amd then the "boss" came over. Big guy, not very polite. He said the same thing. He said we ate it. I showed him the food on our plates, said to him that we did not eat all of it, it is still on the plate. I asked him to get something that is hot. I did not want to make a scene infromt of the ladies so I went back towards the bar area. He still had the platter there. He was arguing with me saying we ate it all. He threatened me, said he will beat me up and throw me in the sea. I mean what a joke. All I asked for was to make the wrong right.
20 years of restaurant experience. I know when food is not fresh. But this was so unprofessional.
Anyway, he eventually got us a second platter. The things were hot and fresh this time. Squid still not good enough, but rest was much better. I had to make my original review shorter because of word limit.
For this bad exp. I do not reccomend! :(
