My wife had seen this restaurant showcased on Food Network and with a trip to Cleveland planned, we knew we had to try it. I'm so glad we did. I've heard of people talk about food that is prepared with love and that you can actually taste the difference. I thought I knew what that tasted like, but I was wrong until eating here. One bite of Sokolowski's and I felt like I was eating real food from a chef who wasn't preparing food for pretentious critics, but for their loved ones. I felt nurtured. I felt like someone was taking care of me. I felt like I was home and my mom (who has never cooked Polish food) had prepared this for me. I know it might be hard to believe, but you can actually taste the love in every bite.
Here's what we had and why I now envy the people of Cleveland:
Pierogis. You won't regret this. Eat them. Love them. Then take some home cause you will crave them two hours later.
Stuffed cabbage. Large portion and undeniably good. Go ahead, unbuckle your pants. It's worth it.
Pork chops. I never eat pork chops. They are dry and often just not prepared right. These however were THE BEST I have ever eaten. Moist, delicious, and unbelievably good. It had me asking my wife if these really were pork chops, cause I've never tasted them prepared this amazing before.
Cleveland, you are some lucky, lucky people. If I were you I would easily be a regular here.
