| - My father's birthday was coming up, so as he is Polish, we thought what better place to go, than to Stash for some Polish food. I had not been to the restaurant in a few years and hoped it would be just as good.
As soon as you walk in, you are met with that familiarity of having been here before. The piano player is tickling the ivories, the lighting is just bright enough, that each table feels like it is in its own little private area.
If you like Polish food or have never tried it, I would highly recommend this place to anyone. There are dishes on the menu, that remind me somewhat of what my grandmother used to make for us.
We started off our meal with drinks and being in a Polish restaurant, we started off with a round of Polish vodka, Wyborowa. Nicely chilled and a great way to start off any meal; but I guess any meal that starts with a round of drinks is a nice way to start.
We got an assortment of appetizers to start with. A few people got the Flaki soup (a Polish soup made of tripes) and we also got pierogis, plaki, kielbasa, and sledz (herring). On a side note, I don't like herring, however, I decided for the first time to try the one from Stash after my brother convinced me that it is really good. OMG, he was right, I now know what herring should be made like (sorry grandma), but that was really good. What better to have with herring, than vodka, so round two was ordered. Hey, it's a celebration.
Three people at the table got the sznycel wiedenski (veal schnitzel), someone got the Bigos (a type of Polish stew), and one golabki (cabbage rolls). There was a lot of sharing and trading of plates and each was excellent, although the golabki could have used a little more salt and the Bigos a little less salt. However, I would recommend either of those dishes in a heart beat. The portions are well sized and quite filling.
For dessert we got struddel, although I was surprised that a Polish restaurant didn't have p?czki (Polish doughnut). When I asked about it, when making the reservation, the lady told me where I could find them; but I wasn't sure if she meant I could bring them with me or she was just simply being nice and telling me where I could buy them.
The meal, with tax and tip (and I was very generous with the tip because our waiter was great) was 308$. That was for 5 meals, 6 entrees, 2 rounds of vodka shots, 2 martinis, bottle of wine, and dessert. In my opinion and of those at the table, it was money well spent.
