Based on today's experience
PLUS:
The place is good looking, furniture has nice minimal look, the location is very central and easy to reach/find.
The restaurant has a big room, a bit busy, but bearable (it gives a sense of "atmosphere", not of "noise", which is a big plus for me)
The food, including the sauces, is completely home made, ingredients are fresh.
A friend had pasta and said it was good (didn't try it personally, but i trust her judgement).
We had burgers, whose meat was good and well cooked indeed, however....
CONS:
... the condiment inside was not nothing special and quite scarce, especially the bread could be more nice.
Each burger came with a small side portion of fries, barely cooked and that didn't taste much (however sauces - ketchup and bbq - were good).
Cocktails had no alcohol at all, only ice: VERY bad.
We ordered one creme brulle' that turned out to be cold and slightly too sweet, while it should be served at room temperature, even slightly warmer, to allow to feel the scent of vanilla and the taste of egg yolk to be savoured; finally a good creme brulle' has to be sweet, not overwhelmingly sweet.
But what really ruined it all was the service, below sufficient: waitress was not super friendly, very rushy although there were other waitress that were free and the place was not completely full (so no reason to be in a hurry!). She barely looked or paid attention at us because there was some "VIP" in the room for whom she was distracted (she even mismatched one drink order because of this; normally it wouldn't be a big deal, but she blamed it on the customer - that ordered correctly: just pay attention to what people are telling you instead. We didn't leave any tip, something I never do unless I am really disappointed by the service, like today.
VERDICT:
All in all its not a bad restaurant, it has a big potential to be a very good one that could build a fame and a solid affectionate clientèle (so for people who really love food and not just the "new Polish rich class" that comes just because it's "the new place in Warsaw"); it has everything a good restaurant could offer and it could be much much much better if there was just a bit more attention to details - seriously, you need just to make a small effort!
As it is now, for the same prices there are many far better offers in Warsaw, and it's really a pity.
However I will give it another try for a more substantial meal, hopefully to find it improved, in some time. read more
