| - I am NOT certain which I am more disappointed in, writing this less than stellar Review or the dining experience itself, as I approached my visit with great anticipation.
I believe that the recent Positive Republic Review and others may have stressed this little Restaurant beyond its capability. The Cashier mentioned that ""we have been slammed," although there were only four others dinning at other tables on this day. Nonetheless, my father (A Chef) always said that "the test of a good Restaurant is consistency." That being said, my Review follows.
I opted on my first visit to "Test" lots, so I went for the "Sample Plate." It had:
Stuffed Cabbage - which was cold, not even warm, but of excellent
quality with a nice tomato sauce.
Home Made Polish Sausage - Absolutely tasteless. Not even a hint of spice,
it also was served less than hot and not really even warm.
Pierogi - I opted for three different kinds and found each to be pasty and
without much flavor, although unlike their "plate mates" they were served
hot. Caramelized onions would have been a good and likely tasty addition,
but I opted for the sour cream. My barometer for Pierogi is a New Jersey
Polish Restaurant and unfortunately, even after all these years, I have NOT
found any others to measure up.
The staff was quite nice and welcoming, although meals are served on paper plates with plastic utensils and that is generally a "no, no" for me, as it makes cutting things (Polish Sausage) difficult.
Value? Not at all certain that if everything was FABULOUS, I would have felt it was a good value.
In keeping with my personal philosophy of writing a Good Review only after two visits or more and writing a "Less Than Good Review" after only one visit, I will NOT be returning.
