We had a different experience from the other English-language reviewer. Not 5-star, but not bad, either.
We checked out every restaurant in the Kazimierez Square, and settled on this one, because it wasn't about to close, as so many others were. (This area is known as the Jewish Quarter, but none of the restaurants, even Rubenstein's, is Jewish. I think this name is only for tourism purposes). There was also a Klezmer band performing, but we were told upfront that they were about to finish up. Still, we were pleased to hear a couple of numbers, and the band was excellent, especially the woman violinist.
We were expecting to find Eastern European cuisine, especially since the restaurant had a Hebrew name, though spelled in Polish transliteration. But those dishes were very limited. I chose the plain breast of chicken, which came with a bit of salad & over-salted boiled potato. The chicken was dry. My husband ordered "gefilte fish," which turned out to be unlike any both of us have ever seen or tasted, and that wasn't necessarily positive. He wasn't blown away by it. Both dishes passable, but that's all. This wasn't anywhere near the best dining experience of our trip. We had an excellent waiter whose friendliness was genuine, but if I had to sum it up in one sentence, I'd say "Come for the music, not the food." read more
