    This has been the most efficient service we have had in Poland. The waitress was lovely and right…read moreon top of it when she saw we had a toddler bringing crayons and snacks for him and not fiddling around waiting to come take the order. We sat outside which was a great little courtyard covered by umbrellas for the days sun & heat. We got mixed perogies (this is the only place we've been that lets you order multiple kinds on one plate, half roasted duck and Golabki (meatballs rolled inside cabbage). Perogies were fresh and tasty with spinach/cheese being our favorite. Other offers were potato and cheese, and meat. You can get either mushroom sauce or tomato sauce on the Golabki and I was so torn my waitress brought me both so I could compare. The mushroom sauce was delicious on its own but I enjoyed the tomato sauce more with the Golabki which is filled with meat and rice. (This is definitely a smaller dish than some other menu items with only two Golabki being served). The half roast duck was a large portion of food with potatoes. Duck was moist and tender but my husband who fancies himself a duck snob didn't like the preparation. This is going to be more of a Peking duck style of dish then French sear and serve rare. The children's breaded chicken was some of the best breaded chicken I have ever eaten. If you bring a kid force them to order that and then eat half of it hahaha! It appeared that the most popular item there was their duck burgers as I saw many a plate of that pass by our table. I would venture back to give one of those a try!

    This Polish restaurant featured duck and that's what brought me in…read more I arrived for a late lunch without a reservation but was seated immediately. There were two rooms and I sat in the long one (the ceiling arc reminded me of a tunnel for some reason) with the duck mural. The menu contained lots of Polish dishes and a dedicated duck section. A duck and pickles appetizer was served gratis. It spread easily on the accompanying slices of bread and was nice. I've not had duck presented like this before and when I piled a couple of the smaller pickle pieces on top the tartness added more complexity for the flavors. I'd order this if it was on their menu. Zurek soup tasted a little tangy and was filled with sausage, mushroom, potatoes plus a whole egg and was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect but all the different ingredients made for an enjoyable bowl. The bread bowl also contributed by thickening the soup as it abosrbed the broth. The duck breast with smoked plum sauce was thick, cooked medium and very tender. There was a little too much sauce for me but I liked the different taste. The side of glazed carrots and peas had a hint of sweetness and completed the dish along with the potato gnocchi. Service overall was good and efficient. Would return.

    Very nice traditional Polish place to be. The food was absolutely 5 Stars. We had beetroot soup and…read morethe tomato soup, which both were very delicious. For the main course we had vegetarian and meat Pierogi, which also were really good. So why just 3 Stars? First of all we ordered a vegetarian dish and it was not vegetarian. The beetroot soup had meat filled Pierogi included and the vegetarian Pierogi had diced fried bacon on top. We made clear in the beginning we wanted one vegetarian dish and this food was not vegetarian. In addition the waitress took the dishes of the people that finished eating, while others still were eating, this is really a no go. In the end, when we paid the waitress kept 9 Zloty as tip when the change was returned. I prefer to decide the amount of tipi myself. I wanted to stick with the 10 to 15 % rule, but not in this overall situation. If the food ;for non vegetarians) would not have been this good, I would have given even less stars. Do I come again? Probably not.

    This is like Krakow's best kept secret. The food is simply devine. Truly Polish cuisine, served…read morebeautifully & quickly. The owners are amendable to difficult American Kids who don't want this & don't want that but want this instead. When the waitress wasn't sure of a dish, she would check on details & she served us with a smile. Couldn't recommend this place enough!! Why isn't it more busy? And it's open late!!!
