| - I stopped in by chance on a Saturday afternoon and got a takeaway order: basic schnitzel with spaetzle, potato cheddar pierogies, and a beet arugula salad.
The ambiance of the place is glossy but comfortable, and the owner is warm and friendly.
About the food now.
The veal schnitzel itself was great and of an average size for a schnitzel. The plain spaetzle that accompanied it appeared to be leftover, i.e.. warmed up in a pan. It was very so-so, somewhat flavourless, and the portion was rather small. The plate should have come with some sort of vegetable side, hot or cold, as well. (Perhaps I have been spoiled by the tremendous offerings we had in Toronto when Hungarian town at Bathurst and Bloor was thriving.)
It was a small portion of pierogies as well. I wasn't impressed with the quality of the pierogies either. Thankfully, they came with a bit of onion on top. They were ok, but I likely wouldn't order them again, not here.
The arugula beet salad was very tasty, but the serving was small again. Certainly not a meal in itself.
All in all, the food quality and portion size do not equal consistent value for money. My bill was $40, including tax. I think I could have done better for that amount.
