"I've been wanting to go here for some time and finally went for lunch with my husband. Very cute local place. I love unique little restaurants that aren't chain restaurants. Nice decor inside, not like the old Polish buffets from years back. Food was really tasty. I had the mushroom soup first. I'm not sure I've ever had a broth based mushroom soup. It was really tasty. Off the lunch menu I had the Polish sampler plate. It was a good amount of food for $14. Everything on the plate was great. I thought the sauerkraut and Cabbage under the smoked sausage would be boring but it was creamy and super tasty. I enjoyed every thing on the plate. What I didn't finish went home with me. My husband had the meatballs with dill sauce that came with mashed potatoes and Asparagus, also $14. He loves pickles and dill flavor so this was right up his alley. I don't have a picture but it was 4 good size meatballs, a mound of mashed potatoes and Asparagus spears. He said it was great. The dill wasn't overpowering. The dishes were great looking and modern, not covered in grease. Service was informative, thorough, and friendly. Our waiter suggested we try the schnitzel next time, he said it was huge. I'll definitely go back, maybe for dinner next time."

"A few years ago it was a really great restaurant that served Polish food with a bit of a modern twist. I don't know what happened but the last visit were were surprised me negatively. The food was tasteless. Because how can you not know how to make a Polish cutlet? The potatoes were tasteless as well. I don't know if they were supposed to be boiled or fried. Mushroom and polish chicken noodle soups were ok. Pierogies were tasteless. The menu card is a plain piece of paper. I don't know if I'll be back there again"

"Stopped in for dinner and was impressed with the freshness and quality of ingredients. We tried the Polish Sample Platter, the Chef’s Schnitzel, and the Cabbage Rolls. All of it was well prepared and came quickly. The kid’s meals (choice of protein, vegetable, and potato) were free tonight and still they served incredible portions. The cloth napkins and comfortable seating were a nice touch to the overall experience. Incredibly attentive and welcoming staff. I would recommend this to anyone seeking authentic, well prepared Polish fare."

"I was recommended to this restaurant by a lot of people, but the food was very average. Our main dish which was beef goulash had 3 pretty flat potato pancakes and the meat pieces were huge. Coleslaw was extremely sour and my glass was not the cleanest I had old lemon seeds in my Pepsi. The staff was very nice and friendly tho, and food came out fairly quickly."

"Best Polish food I have had! Honestly! I have never had dill in my sauerkraut which was a delightful addition … all the dishes had an extra something to take it up a level. There was so much food, but we managed to eat everything. It was too delicious. I am super glad we came here before our flight."
