    This place presents me with some challenges to be fair in my review…read more I don't have enough polish (almost none) to engage with the locals and I'm totally ignorant of the society and its norms. So first things first, it was the halibut in chanterelle sauce at about a tenner that really attracted my interest. My wife opted for the salmon main with chips, which she enjoyed. So my first problem arose when the wait staff took quite a long time to bring the menu to us in an almost empty restaurant at lunchtime and there were no pleasantries nor smiles when, after far too long, a waitress eventually brought the menus. Yes it may be societal but this place was unique in our dining in Poland as everyone else at least was friendly - I bang on about this. When you dine out and pay over your hard-earned it's the hospitality industry - so being hospitable isn't just a clue but it's expected and frankly courtesy and a smile costs nothing. So when the food eventually arrived I was given the wrong dish - it was supposed to go to the next table and quite literally I was just about to take my first bite when the fuss stopped me. So once I got my halibut it was a delight. The fish was beautiful and really tasty. Five star alone and properly cooked. The chanterelle sauce too was excellent, again five star alone but I got about two tablespoons of sauce, far to small a portion. The plate had a vivid ghostbuster green oil that well out portioned the chanterelle sauce yet this gunge wasn't even mentioned on the menu. Now what was totally unacceptable was that the plate was stone cold. The chanterelle sauce was cold. The mashed potato was also cold and the barely warm fish cooled very fast too. This is zero star. Restaurants should never put hot food unto stone cold plates. In addition to being stone cold the potato mash was utterly and truly horrible. Waxy potatoes with the consistency of wallpaper paste rather than buttery floury potatoes. Waxy potatoes might work roasted or in potato salads but used as a mash they were truly awful. They may have been slightly better tasting had they been served hot but I wouldn't take them again free. I wouldn't conceive of returning here. The cappuccino was very good though. It's a borderline three stars but I believe I'm being generous.

    I've just had one of the best meals in my life here. A duck leg was more incredible. Coming right…read moreof the bone. Great job chef Olek!
