    I recently dined at Sveta and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious—every dish was packed with flavor, and the drinks were just as impressive. The ambiance was beautiful, with a cozy yet elegant vibe that made the evening feel special. The staff were also fantastic, polite, and attentive without being overbearing. Overall, it was a perfect dining experience, and I can’t wait to come back! Highly recommend!

    At lunch, this place seeme overwhelmed. Despite having a reservation, they tried seating my party at a low cocktail table in the bar. They moved us begrudgingly. The food was good.
