My group liked the straightforward Eastern European fare and delighted in the live piano music (which earned Chopin an extra star in my book). My sister liked the vegetarian Ukrainian borscht with mushroom dumplings, despite finding the broth a little thin. My friend's favourite dish of the night was the tripe soup, which he described as piping hot and hearty. He also happily downed several shots of magical bison grass Zubrowka. I had a plate of boiled pierogies, half of them cottage cheese and half potato-cheddar, which came with sour cream, a side of sauerkraut, and topped with sauteed onions. The pierogies tasted homemade, if somewhat doughy and bland. They nevertheless hit the spot and I'd go back for more... ESPECIALLY if the same pianist, whom we saw on a Saturday night, were performing. This guy did subdued and spectacularly baffling renditions of such hits as Kenny Rogers' "The Gambler" and Olivia Newton John's "Let's Get Physical". Highly entertaining.
