The cocktails are amazing and very clever, you will take alot of pictures for Instagram. The food is just above average, but you really are there for the decor and drinks! We went during Halloween 2025 and had an amazing time. Special thanks to the staff who served us at the bar while waiting for our table. Ambiance: 5/5. Although a little small, it's more cozy than crowded. There are decorations wall to wall (and ceilings) during the holidays. The bar is not really meant for kids but they will enjoy the spectacle as much as adults. Drinks: 5/5. Each drink is creative, well mixed, and STRONG. Worth the higher price tag for the artistry. Food: 4/5. Good but not amazing. Solid brunch options and portion sizes, and solid for the price. Service: 4.5/5. Attentive, polite and efficient despite the large crowds coming into this place.

This was my secret hope because they post their menu outside, and it got me daydreaming about trying all their delicious European cuisine. The interior is gorgeous! SO MANY FLOWERS. Would love to come back for dinner someday. For my entrée, I got the steak, potatoes, and eggs. Our table shared the Traditional Borscht, and I got a Bloody Mary. I'm surprised at how empty this place was, but maybe it's more poppin' at dinnertime. I look forward to trying more of their menu!

The food is incredible and the service is top-notch in a setting that immerses you in Albanian history and hospitality. The menu is extensive and I found it helpful to ask the friendly servers their recommendations and suggestions. I really enjoyed the sesame baked cheese, mantia and sausage dip as appetizers and saved plenty of room for their mixed grill platter, which is generous and filling; ordering a salad along with their bread will complete any meal and you will leave more than satisfied by the taste and authenticity of all the dishes. Not just a meal but an experience!

It feels like you stepped into a rustic little house that a family lives in. We really appreciated that they were playing Albanian music. The food is so filling and heavy so pace yourself. My husband and I shared the pepper dip and the baked cheese appetizers, which come with freshly baked bread. Seriously delicious. For entrees, I got the tava kosi, which is an egg dish with two pieces of lamb. Honestly I didn't love it. It's a LOT of egg. The lamb pieces were delicious, but I was already so full that I could only have one piece. I wish it had a bit less egg and a bit more other things, but I know this is their national dish. My husband got the qofte shari. It was perfect. Cooked so well, the meat was spiced uniquely, even the fries were great. I think I just ordered the wrong thing! I would seriously love to return and try another clay dish. We finished off the meal with Albanian coffee, which was like Turkish coffee, but smoother and better. All in all, left so happy and full. Service was so attentive, too. Go here for a unique meal in the cutest little restaurant.

I was back at this tasty Romanian spot with a group a couple of weeks ago, after not being there in…read morea while. The staff was friendly again, and the decor had changed a bit, mostly because it was around Halloween (the skeleton by the POS/sale terminal is a nice touch). As before, we split a lot of dishes and enjoyed our meal here. They started us off with some of the same perfectly fine bread. First was the $11 Salată de Vinete, or eggplant spread. Compared to last time, the eggplant was served in three mounds with tomatoes on top and some raw chopped onion on the side, instead of with slices of onion in between. The eggplant was nicely smoky and tasted pretty similar to baba ganoush, though without tahini, of course. The texture was smooth and went well with the bread. This time, I ordered the Plăcinte Moldovenești for $15, a Moldovan pie with cheese, potato, and cabbage. The outside was lightly crisp, while the inside was soft and fluffy, so the texture overall was very pleasant. The cheese inside (presumably cottage or farmer's) was crumbly and mildly salty, while the cabbage was cooked down and soft. The dish came with a bit of sour cream on the side. The last appetizer was the $12 Colțunași, or traditional meat dumplings, served with a side of sour cream. I chose the meat version, and the dumplings had a mildly soft and chewy texture. I found these a bit more flavorful than last time, though my memory of that dish is a bit vague for once. As before, most of the main dishes came with a side to choose from. This time, the Tochitură, a Moldovan mixed stew with polenta and a fried egg, was a new dish for $24. The rich stew was pork-based, with tender meat and smoky pieces of sausage. The fried egg, along with the mămăligă/polenta and feta, added texture and a bit of saltiness. This was a pleasant surprise, and better than expected. The hardest to split, but still tasty, was the $27 Fasole Cu Ciolan, or beans with slow-cooked smoked ham. The beans had a mild sweetness, while the smoked ham consisted of two giant pork knuckles/hocks. The latter had a lot of collagen and came off the bone with ease. The dish came with a side, and I chose the Cartofi Taranesti, or home fries. The home fries came with some mushrooms, which was a nice touch. Overall, this was rich and delicious. The remaining two dishes were ones I had tried on a previous visit. The better of the two this time was the Ceafa de Porc la Grătar, or grilled pork butt, for $24. The meat was very tender and juicy, which isn't always the case for this cut. For sides, I chose Varză Călită/cooked cabbage and another order of the home fries. I liked this dish last time, and it was even better this time. The only slight disappointment was the $27 Pastramă, or traditional marinated lamb pastrami. Unlike every other dish, the meat was a tad dry, which is a shame, as this was probably my favorite dish last time. Thankfully, it was cut into relatively small pieces, so it was easy to eat. For sides, I chose more mamaliga and the Legume la Grătar/grilled vegetables. Our group was quite full at the end, but we decided to split a dessert. Knowing how large and filling the Papanași/donut was last time, we went with a single order of the Plăcintă cu Mere, or apple pie, for $10. Like the flatter pie before, the dough had a nice texture, with a mix of crispy and soft parts. I also liked that the apples weren't overly sweet. If you're a fan of strudel, this was similar and a nice way to end the meal. We had a great meal here again. Large plates, nice service, and good prices, so it's hard not to like this spot.

Well, after reviewing multiple reviews prior to coming into the restaurant, I decided I would like…read moreto dine here and make my own decision on how the food is and how the ambience is so I went out and had a great night out with my girlfriend at Markette. So, I will start with my arrival- greeted by the hostess and she was lovely. I appreciate going to restaurants and being seated right away even if the full party is not there. So, they definitely get points for that. As for the food, the codfish fritters were good. But I will say it's more about potato croquette with a splash of cod fish. The flavor was good, but I do see why others may have negative views on them because they are seeking more of the codfish within. The fish was amazing. I would definitely order that again. The dessert was also very good.. I will say my only issue was the delay, getting our drinks which were non-alcoholic and our entrées. Our waitress felt disconnected when it came to staying on top of our orders. The question is would I go again?!?!? I will see, this is a black owned business so I definitely like to support black own restaurants.

I went to this restaurant with a group a good while back, as can be seen from Andie's old review…read more This is one of two Czech restaurants in the city, along with Bohemian Spirit, located in the Bohemian National Hall, and the food here reminded me much more closely of what I had in the Czech Republic, or rather, now, Czechia. The inside looks and feels like a tavern, and there was the typical no-nonsense staff you find in Central and Southern European restaurants. They have a very reasonably priced beer menu, especially on tap, and I got a BrouCzech Dark for $7 for half a liter, with a 1/3 liter option for $5, with the other tap options being the pilsners Czechvar and the more standard Urquel. They gave us some free bread to start, before our very heavy shared meal. The first thing to arrive was the Boiled Perogies, consisting of 12 pieces for $25, topped with bacon and sour cream. I usually slightly prefer the fried version, but these were very tasty. It wasn't super doughy compared to most spots, and it had a nice filling. As per usual, the dumplings, which were a bit rich, were balanced by the sour cream. In short, I preferred these over the boiled pierogi from Karczma, among other spots. While we were eating, another smaller plate arrived, the Broiled Klobasa for $13, served with horseradish sauce. I am very particular about sausage quality, as my old hometown has a butcher shop that makes 25/30 homemade products, including many sausages, and this was very tasty. The klobasa had a good smoky flavor and had a good snap. The horseradish, mustard, and pickles on the side helped with the richness. I would recommend this also. For most people, their favorite dish of the evening was the Halusky for $27, or potatoes spaetzle with sheep cheese, topped with bacon. As per the other dishes, the portion size was very generous. The spaetzle had a good texture, and the dish was quite rich, creamy, and salty from the cheese and bacon. This version was comparable, if not better than, the excellent versions at the various Eastern European spots in Manhattan, and I would recommend this as well. Our least favorite dish by a lot was the Pork Schnitzel for $28, made with a potato pancake batter and topped with cheese. This came with a salad and a side item of our choice. The salad was very plain but fresh, with some potatoes and pickled vegetables on the side. The schnitzel lacked a bit of flavor and salt compared to the other dishes. This was the only miss of the evening, but it was still decent as the chicken had a nice breading. Next time, I would probably try their Svíčková, or in other words, beef and cream sauce, to compare it to Spirit and other dishes, such as the roast duck, if it's hopefully available as one of the specials. This was an above-average spot serving a less common cuisine, and I would recommend it.

We made a reservation for 8p and arrived a couple of minutes early but the restaurant was relatively empty so it was quick to get a table. We ordered the eggplant appetizer, the Georgian salad, the mushroom dumplings, and the cheese and spinach baked good. The eggplant and salad both came outburst and both were good in terms of size and flavor. The salad had a good dressing which complimented it and did not overpower it. The eggplant was really good but would've been better with bread, so we requested bread and it was an additional charge and some pieces were very chewy and a bit hard to chew. The baked good came out afterwards and it was a combo between a pizza and phyllo dough. The portion size was really good and the flavor was decent albeit a bit bland. The mushroom dumplings were also good size and came with 4 pieces with sour cream on the side. The portion size was good and the flavor of the dough was good, the inside was also decent but lacked some flavor. Overall good flavor and portion size of food. A bit bland but overall good
