Good Polish food in a charming atmosphere.
I dined here a few days ago and to get a feel for the place ordered the 'sampler plate' - the Table d'Hote's Menu du Debutante. For my appetizer I chose the the Sledz - a very tasty 'herring salad' wrapped in a herring filet. For the entree plate itself the Pierogies were the star of the car - plump and tasty and perfect. The Placki (potato pancakes) were delicious as well - though I would have liked a bit of apple sauce to go with the sour cream. On the other hand the Krokiet (croquette) was kind of bland for a fried crepe filled with meat. But most disappointing was the Bigos (cabbage stew with meat and mushrooms) which was oddly flavorless given the ingredients. The Menu du Dubutante comes with a small fruit cobbler but I instead ordered the Hazelnet cake - creamy and nutty and delicious. I paired all this with a St-Ambroise Oatmeal Stout and coffee.
If I were to do it again I think I would try the vegetarian version of the Menu du Debutante - getting the mushroom Krokiet and cheese/potato or cabbage/mushroom Pierogies. Or just stick with the Pierogies.
As I mentioned the atmosphere is charming and there is a small bar off to one side of the restaurant. As for the service...it was brusque yet efficient and aggressively polite almost to point of rudeness. It took me back to any number of Eastern European restaurants I've visited in the past.
