We walked here from our hotel on a Sunday evening for dinner. The pierogi & kielbasa were so delicious that we ordered a second kielbasa. The ogorkowa (pickle soup) was surprisingly balanced, with mild & just the right amount of pickle flavor. The drinks were delicious, although I ordered a prosecco & got a second Polish mimosa instead. The Polish mimosa was delicious, so I just drank it without complaining. The pork was a little dry & service was slow. However, the pianist was lovely - great song selection & not too loud - so overall, it was a very enjoyable dinner!

Metered street parking is always challenging in the Old Port, especially with summer construction. I suggest finding parking outside the Old Port & walking over. It's a beautiful walk. Reservations are highly recommended. There are bar seats for walk-ins. There's live piano music in the evening. The place is charming, but a little dark (wandering to the bathroom is an adventure). There's an original drinks menu. Service was excellent & friendly, everyone was kind & helpful. I love the traditional Polish dishes (I had to google a lot of the names). There's a beginner's plate in the Table d'Hote for those who want to try a little bit of everything. The plate was yummy & generous. I left very full & satisfied.

Not only was the food absolutely delicious but the ambience was perfect. Felt romantic & expensive without the price tags. The live music was so good & the pianist was such a gem. He really enhanced our experience after waiting 45ish minutes for a table. Lesson learned: make a reservation.
