I have always enjoyed Polish food. I grew up eating potato pancakes and blintzes for breakfast and stuffed cabbage & peppers, goulash and all the rest for lunch and dinner. Also growing up in the Chicago area, I often had access to great Polish deli's and stores. I was very exited to find the "A Touch of European Cafe" so close to my newer home here in Glendale.
So to the review...
The service was friendly and had a real homey feel - nice people.
The food was 'pretty good' not quite the same as that which I was used to from all the Polish delis I grew up eating from - in particular, I am used to a coarsely ground sausage, where the one made and served here was VERY finely ground and a Very mild in flavor. So not really my favorite.
Price - Well here I have to say was my main dissatisfaction factor with the Cafe. It was simply too expensive. The combination platter I had was $17.50 and to me was worth maybe $12.50 to $14. And then everything else from a cup of soup to desert and even the apple cider were $3.50 all (especial the cider) were over priced by at least $1 (it adds up). I am always open to trying a new restaurant and will pay prices that may be too high - once - to just see for myself. But as in this case, where I feel the overall cost of the meal of $31 (for one person) was over priced by about $9 - $10 almost a 1/3 (should have been around $21 not $31) I would think twice about returning based on price..
The bottom line, I may go back, the people were nice, the food was OK but, I am going to keep looking for a more reasonably priced Polish food place..
