The restaurant is small, but it has a bar and a private patio, and I would call it "comfy".
The wine list was "just right" for the restaurant. I ordered a bottle of Riesling from Saint M, and shared it with Cheryl and Dawn. It was very refreshing.
The menu isn’t long, but there are a lot to choose from. There are nine salads, plus a combination of up to six of them. There are five different types of hand-made Pierogis (Polish ravioli) but you can order a combo plate with one of each. Mmmm. They are served dry, like empanadas.
I ordered the salmon-filled dumplings, and they were very delicious. One of the guys ordered the “Bigos”, which is a Polish hunter’s stew. The way he ordered it, though, sounded like he said “beagles”. My bad.
We all left room for dessert. Neil decided to try the “schlicki”, which is a vanilla crepe filled with lemon cheese, served hot with raspberries. One of the women said to Neil, “If you let me have a taste of your schlicki, I’ll order something else.” We told her that even in a Polish restaurant, her comment sounded suggestive.
Several of the desserts were ordered and then passed around. One item was a dark mocha chocolate cream layer torte with light vanilla sauce. The waiter added a word of warning: the menu doesn’t indicate it, but there’s espresso in the torte. Caution was tossed aside and the torte was ordered. Everyone took a bite and commented that the espresso was very light. I had a piece from the bottom. I found out then why everyone said that the espresso was light. It had settled in the bottom. My piece had a strong espresso taste.
I forgot to add that I liked the food at the restaurant and wouldn't mind going again. Sorry, John and Akiko, I can't remember what else we were grading it on.
Ditto to Nitelyfe's comment. The service was fantastic. I forgot the server's name but he made the evening really fun and kept us laughing. I have to say, the french pressed coffee was out of this world! I'd go back just for the coffee. I ordered the pirogi combo and liked it lots. Parking was a bit of a hassle and confusing, but all in all- great food, great friends, and a great evening!
