We were meeting friends in the area for dinner, and decided to, indeed, give it a try.\n\nI had very high hopes, but our experience was, all in all, pretty dismal.\n\nThere was a 30 minute wait for a table, which I understood, as it was 6PM. But, it was a Tuesday..so I thought if there was that kind of a wait on a TUESDAY, it must be fantastic!\n\nWhen our names were called, we were led through a dining room that was at least 1/2 empty. I'm not really sure what was going on...servers were EVERYWHERE, but SO many empty tables. I'm not quite sure why we had to wait 30 minutes when the restaurant was half empty and there appeared to be more than enough staff, but I'm not in the restaurant business. Still...it just seemed....odd.\n\nI chose an appetizer, which I seldom do, because I'd never had perogies. I found them bland and tasteless, and rather soft and mushy. Neither the taste nor the texture was especially pleasing.\n\nFor my sandwich, I chose 1/2 a BBQ sandwich, and it was..below average.\n\nThe fries WERE outstanding, though.\n\nAll in all, I found it an overpriced, mediocre, at best, experience. I don't anticipate returning."^^ . . "2017-08-01T00:00:00"^^ . "1"^^ .
