There's not a lot of places in the old port area that are both good & affordable. Plus, the place is super cute!

Cozy, comfortable & very welcoming, from the quality & quantity of food to the warmth of the staff, it's a great place for a meal with friends or family, or at the bar if you're on your own. & the piano player has been playing there for 28 years! Say hi - he's very friendly & keeps playing while you chat!

I'm going to start this off by saying that my rental car was smash-grab burglarized nearby, so be careful about street parking if you're coming & have American license plates. THAT SAID, I still had an amazing time: the food was delicious (reminded me of Polish home cooking from my childhood), the service was kind & helpful when I didn't recognize a dish or the name of an ingredient, & OMG THE PIANO playing. It was like stepping into Westworld. I loved every moment in that restaurant.

Located in the heart of Old Port, this Polish restaurant stands out as one of the most memorable spots of the year. I tried their renowned pierogies & schnitzel-hands down the best pierogies I've ever had. I'll definitely be returning. Great service too.

Food: always good. During covid I went there every time I could to support them Service: I was a bit disappointed this time. Service was slower than usual, we waited for 20' before getting the drinks & we had to ask twice to 2 different waiter/ waitress. & I noticed that the wait staff paid more attention on the floor than people, they often missed the call gesture from clients Atmosphere: lighting is BAD. Piano player is amazing!

Simply amazing. Came in around 9:30 pm on a Saturday & were seated right away. Ordered the pickle soup as an appetizer. Then for our mains we got the cheese & potato pierogis, & the kielbasa sausage (with potato salad, mustard, & sauerkraut). For dessert, we shared a crepe. All of the food was incredibly delicious. In addition to the perfect food, the live piano & the vibe of the place is great. Our waitress was amazing too.
