| - Had dinner with the fam at Izba and I'm impressed. The decor had this Euro look to it - neither trashy nor refined but homey and relaxed? Anyhow, the vibe was good and there was a few songs played on the piano by one of the staff. Staff service was excellent and friendly. We were there a bit later so only a few tables were occupied which probably helped with the amount of attention that we got.
The food was great and the portions are pretty good. I had the schnitzel and perogies combo, which came with a big, thin piece of schnitzel and 4 perogies with either roast potatoes, rice or some other starch. Went for the roast potatoes and they were fine.
Perogie 4-four pack was standard cheese perogies topped with fried onions and a generous side of sour cream. That's important since I hate rationing sour cream on my perogies.
The highlight of the meal was the schnitzel, yummy crispy coating, the moist, tender meat, sent me to food-gasm. Like any guy, I'm easy and pretty much anything that is deep fried and meat will have me all over it like a slobbering dog in heat but this one of the better schnitzels that I've had in a long time.
Overall, the atmosphere, decor, staff along with the food gives this place a 4 star. Only hitch was that the food was a bit slow to come out but when it did it was worth it.
