| | "I have a feeling they can do a lot better than they did the night we where there. The waiter was a girl that looked like she was 18, and she seemed very uncertain and spoke also very low. The fish soup was not impressive at all for a norwegian, and also with too little fish in it. And the pasta we had for main course was boring and looked even more boring. " | A. Andersen

| | "I did not like this resteraunt at all and could not reccomend it in any manner. I am from Ireland where eating out is pricey and have no problem in paying top money for good food. The food at Farina is priced relatively on par with an Irish resteraunt which makes it expensive in comparison to some other fantastic places which we ate in Krakow.In addition veg is extra and the portion sizes are very mediocre. The wine list is very limited and the cost of the food is not a reflection of its quality or of the level of service which is provided there by the waiting staff.Our food was barely warm when it arrived to the table and was cold by the time I was taking the last mouthful. When I mentioned this it was completely ignored. " | Sinead

| | "Just lovely, lovely cooked fish. I had the Sea Bass which came in at about £20 and was well worth it, very reasonalbly priced considering. I would recommend for a nice meal, we had starters and mains and the bill was £65 which isn't bad value especially if you consider the taste!!" | Paul

| | "I had heard great things about this place from alot of other ex-pats in Krakow so decided to check it out. The biggest mistake was that I went there with my Polish friends. Our treatment was terrible. I was really ashamed of the fact that there was a huge difference in how we were treated compared to the rest of the customers who were all foreign. I was shocked how the waiters were almost kissing the feet of the other customers while we could not even get a menu. We were not told about specials, we were not shown the fish, nobody came to ask how our meal was and we waited around for the check. Interestingly enough I am sure we spent way more than the foreigners (our bill was over 800zl) but all the waiters were too busy trying to earn tips from the foreigners than wait on us. Needless to say, we left our 800 zloty and not a groszy more for the tip. One thing is certain, if I want good service I shouldnt speak Polish when I go out." | Paulus

| | ""This is a wonderful restaurant, also suitable for larger groups. Last week we had a dinner here on a special occassion with a group of 18 people. The staff went really out of their way to accomodate us and to make sure that everything exactly as we wished. Management was very friendly and professional. Farina contributed to a very successful evening. Food was good, fresh, wel cooked and good variety, also of vegetables. Food/price rate was very good. Service was absolutely superb.

| | "This is a gem of a restaurant.There were 16 in the party and we studied the reviews of a number of restaurants before finally booking this one about a week in advance.Prior to booking my only concern was the webcam image-the restaurant appeared quite basic in appearance.Anyway we booked it and am I glad we did.On arrival we were warmly greeted and taken to our table.The room had a great warm atmosphere with good use of subtle lighting and candles. While it is billed as a fish restaurant don't be put off if you are a meat lover(for starter the liver was fantastic) as the menu is very varied but there was also, in the opinion of most, one of the most extensive choices of fish. The service was excellent throughout(obviously well trained).Discreet but always on hand to fill wine glasses nearing empty(12 lovely bottles taken which pushed the price of the overall meal up) - nothing seemed to be a problem to the staff even when 4 late comers arrived at 10pm -they all had three courses in double quick time. Not one bad dish was served from starters to sweet.The food was full of flavour,well presented and if appropriate warm.Congrats to owners,chefs and serving staff.Thanks for giving us a wonderful evening -take a bow - we will be recommending you to others!!!!
