Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

A warm welcome was given by Roberto in front of house. His service was friendly and efficient throughout. We had a fairly simple meal (chicken fillet, grilled vegetables and fried potatoes) but it was so delicious. I’m sometimes a bit meh about chicken but this...was the nicest I’ve eaten in a long time. The restaurant is set in a quaint square in the old town. Both outside and the interior are nicely decorated. We really enjoyed our visit.More

Decided on the fish platter for two. It was the most expensive in the area at €70 so we expected it to be exceptional. Given bread (which they later charged for) whilst we waited. I know it is late in the season but the fish...looked like it had been thrown on the grill and tipped onto a plate. Seabream was well cooked and tasted fresh but sadly nothing else was good. The octopus hadn’t been cleaned properly, prawns were not deveined and the tuna was over cooked and dry. Wine is of poor quality and is served in 100ml measures. Unfriendly service.More

This restaurant was recommended to us when we arrived in Split. We saved it for our last night & weren't disappointed. Located in the centre of Split just off the busy Riva area. It's nestled in a small, bustling square with lots if others restaurants...and Konobas. With seating inside and out the restaurant is lovely. The food was exceptional especially the octopus salad & fresh fish. Our waiter Poppi (Roberto) was fantastic, so friendly & attentive. Best food, serve & location in Split. I'd thoroughly recommend Trattoria Tinel.More

Ivan my waiter was especially helpful. I receive complimentary breakfast with my accomodation across the road. My boat trip was cancelled this morning so despite having my coffee already this morning I returned to have breakfast and another complimentary coffee was bought with a smile....Breakfast is plentiful and good. I’m coming back for dinner one night. Thank you for your Croatian hospitality.More

If you are looking for great food and service, this is an ideal place to go. You get big portions of very tasty food, good choice of local wines and all of the staff were helpful and knowledgeable.

Bookings can be for small area out front which has lovely atmosphere in the square, or inside air conditioned spaces or the...courtyard out back.
