Incredible atmosphere & great service! Our waiter was so kind & came by often. A great place for a bigger group. The food was so hearty especially the soups. Great selection of drinks. Always great to reconnect with Eastern European dishes ❤️

Went early at 5pm just after opening. I had the Debutante plate & my wife had the Golabki. It was traditional, tasty & comforting, but I'd stop short of saying it was exceptional having grown up with Polish food & having recently visited Poland. That said, I still enjoyed the food & would definitely go back to try other items. The Pierogi were excellent. However the service was disappointing. The young servers seemed much more interested in socializing amongst themselves & were not very attentive to customers. Also, they were not too interested in socializing with the patrons. I don't at all mind relaxing & taking a while to eat, but the disinterested attitude toward patrons was not to my liking. Certainly opposite of my experience dining in Poland where they were extremely friendly.

The food was amazing! 😍 My partner had the cabbage rolls (stuffed with meat). It was really delicious. I had the table d'hôte with the zurek soup, & the debutante plate. While our Polish friends mentioned it's not things that necessarily go together, it allowed us to taste a lot of different things. Everything was great! We had both the crumble & crêpes for dessert. Again, nothing to complain about. Also, we shared the pickled herring for the table. Highly recommended as a chaser. Amazing service (only complaint is that it was a bit slow but it was Friday night & they seemed slammed). & the ambiance is really cool & chill.

Poor service. A lot of bickering among the wait staff. Inattentive to patrons needs. We felt rushed to place our order & when we didn't, we felt ignored.

Nous avons pris la kielbasa & le sznycel (pas sur la photo). Une ambiance très agréable. Le zywiec était un peu différent, mais nous l'avons apprécié. La nourriture était très savoureuse & proche de la cuisine polonaise authentique.
