While most of the reviews are pretty clear that the sign outside is only a weak indication of what lies inside, I wasn't clear just how wide the gap between sign and reality actually was. \n\nTo be honest, there really isn't very much at all at Czehoski that's Czech or Polish or Eastern European. Sure, there was ONE dish on the menu that included pirogi. But let's face it, a single pirogi dish doesn't make you a Polish restaurant any more than french fries make McDonald's French. (Or, if you don't like that example, how about the notion that Jack-in-the-Box is a far cry from Mexico, even though it offers a .99 cent taco.)\n\nSo, to the first point, Czehoski's cuisine is hardly unique or interesting. It's relatively standard, regardless of the name, regardless of the reviews, and regardless of how good the food may actually be. \n\nAdd to that the fact that it's crowded, loud and overpriced, and we have the makings of a failure. At this rate, the only thing saving Czehoski in my estimation is the admirable (albeit limited) beer list. Still, my vote is to go to the Korean place next-door, and then stop in to Czehoski's for a night-cap."^^ . . "3"^^ .
