Парк Клептуза е красив,но с ресторантите,които се намират там не всичко е както трябва,в събота и неделя не се издават касови бележки на клиентите и така винаги остава едно съмнение относно тяхната верност,моята компания получи ръчно написана сметка,без подпис и печат даже.много наивно ми звучи ,изисквайте си ваш, 19.06.2014
