Visiting today, 35 degrees, hot. Not much people, nice service, not so pricy, stuff as usual, just menu was changed after second qurantine. Food is defo fresh, cezar salad with chicken ok, dressing unknown, something between majo, salt and jogurt.... pic smth diferent, ""Kiaulienos saslykas", pork stuff, cooked well, bit of red meet, enough salad and really salty adzika, think someone in love from kitchen. "Cepelinai", all good but I think it's time to start making them from fresh potatoes. Overall nothing special. Btw, drinks, green spritz, nice, really good stuff, gira (kvas) very very good. Must trie. Place to play for kids. Just nice afternoon, for 30€.

Lots of space. Bit freezy during winter as it's quite difficult to heat such space. Good for big celebrations: weddings, birthdays, company events. Food is tasty. Interesting interior - different spaces on second floor. Big playground for children.

I had the pleasure of dining at Pilialaukis recently and I have to say that it was an amazing experience! From the moment we arrived, we were greeted warmly by the staff and shown to our table. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting. The food was delicious. The service was also outstanding. The staff was friendly, knowledgeable and always willing to assist. All in all, it was an amazing experience and I would definitely recommend Pilialaukis for anyone looking for a place to have a good time and meal.

Some of the best local food you'll find anywhere. Service is fast and absolutely outstanding at more than reasonable prices. Beautiful outdoor seating in a very well kept old building. Perfect place for a dinner any night of the week.

Great restaurant with own brewery, decently priced. The service was good and food arrived in no time. Kids really loved a massive indoor playground and always asking to come back

It was a good experience. It was kind of birthday party, there were drinks for kids and adults, plus it had different types of bottles, like wine bottle, beer bottle, etc. The place is basically made for kids. There's plenty of space to run around and play, there's two playgrounds (one of them opens pretty late). The restaurant hasn't got a good place, but upon arriving there is gates for it. I don't know when the place gave away more than half of the parking to driving lesson instructors, it felt weird. ***There is a pretty big scene to play music.

How in the world this place doesn't have 5 out of 5. Never had a bad time here. Awesome place to visit, live events always hit the spot. Perfect place for a gathering and great place just to spend the night just the two of us in the beautiful area. Last night they gave us an extra round of beer and a ride home therefore we can't call them anything else but the best place in the universe
