Zapiecek feels a lot like the Denny's of Warsaw. First of all, there are locations of this chain…read morerestaurant everywhere (I counted no fewer than seven on my visit). Second, the restaurant is decorated with lots of kitsch decorated with Polish folk art, and even the service staff was dressed in "traditional" clothes. Third, the huge menu was full of fantastical, colorful photos that were obviously exaggerated depictions of the actual dishes. I started with an order of the zurek, a sour white rye soup served with a grilled sausage, half a hard-boiled egg topped with horseradish, and slices of a seeded Polish bread, all arranged on a wooden board. But my favorite dish was the bigos, a traditional Polish stew made with sauerkraut cooked with sausage, pork ribs, forest mushroom, dried plums, and red wine. As a whole, the dish was nicely balanced in flavor with the savoriness of the meat and mushrooms, the sourness of the sauerkraut, and the slight sweetness of the dried plums. While the actual plates of food didn't look as picture-perfect as the photos, and the whole restaurant felt a bit artificial, the food and dining experience were great nonetheless!

After reading reviews about the food at this location, we decided to give it a try. We were told…read moreto go to the 2nd floor for additional seating as our table was right next to the stairs! We ordered the Grandma's mixture of fried dumplings, three entrees and drinks. Our waitress was not that friendly from the beginning but took our order without writing it down although she did repeat it back to us. She set up the metal stand for the dumplings, but they never arrived! Only two out of the three entrees arrived so the 3rd dish- the pig's knuckles didn't arrive either. I just shared my food with my wife and she was ok with that. We called the waitress over and told her we didn't receive the dumpling and the 3rd entree. She did not apologize for this nor express any sympathy about those missing items. I called the manager over to tell her the same issue, but surprisingly, she didn't offer an apology or any corrective measures herself. She didn't even bother to check up on this, so I flatly told her that we are canceling those two dishes and not to bring them as we are leaving now. The waitress ran downstairs to tell the chef to stop the orders, but I didn't care at that point anymore whether they were actually ready or not. When we paid our bill, again, the waitress didn't even say Thank You or anything else. It seems that neither one seemed to care about what had happened. I know it was busy that night and things like this happens. However that's why people like me leave honest reviews for others to read before they go to any restaurant. Oh, we didn't bother leaving a tip as a result.

As part of that, they made reservations for us to have dinner at the oldest restaurant in Warsaw, Ufukiera. Upon entering this restaurant, I was intrigued by the traditional decor. The atmosphere was warm and inviting. The server led us to our table and gave us a few minutes to decide what we wanted to order. There were so many things to choose from that I could not decide. Finally, I asked the server for some recommendations. He was very helpful in answering my questions and suggesting some entrées based on my diet. We ordered a few appetizers and a few entrées. The portions of everything were a good size so we got full pretty quickly. I ordered some asparagus and risotto. All dishes were enjoyable and flavorful. The combination of the good food and the atmospheric experience made this a fantastic gathering. I am happy that I was able to have this experience with my son and my colleagues during my trip.

We ran into this restaurant when walking along Nowy Swiat, looking for lunch. I consulted Yelp to…read morefind nearby restaurants serving Polish specialities and found this one just a block away. The welcoming was kind of jaded, but we were hungry and had patience with the zombie-like service. All of us tried some of the different pierogi (dumplings) they offered: traditional with cabbage and mushrooms, russian style and spinach with cheese. They were all OK and my favorite were the spinach ones. To that we had beer and that was where things started to go wrong. If the food was "traditionally" Polish, so was the service, which could best be described as the one I remember from the worst restaurants during the communist time. This means a minimum of service from an uninterested person that take time. Really strange, as the waitress who served us was probably not even born at the time when that kind of service was kind of common in the eastern countries. One of my friends discovered the opened plastic cover of a toothpick in his beer, and we let the waitress know as soon as we managed to get her attention. Without a flinch, she mumbled something about crediting the beer and just left, taking his beer with her. When we saw her again, we were still a little uncertain about her first comment so we asked, with the intention of ordering a new beer for my friend - but we never got that far. She just repeated that the beer would be credited and left before we had the chance to ask for another beer. As the food was OK, I hope the mishap with the beer and service was just a bad day for the wautress, but having talked to my non-Polish guests about the Polish cuisine and hospitality, Dawne Smaki just left me with a feeling of embarrassment in front of them. There are too many good restaurants to go back.
