Why go to Czech Republic if not to eat dumplings? If you go to Japan, would they ever be out of sushi??? Anyway, the beer was good and the platter I did get was huge and tasted very good.

The restaurant is very cute, with a rustic ambiance, two levels of seating and an outdoor patio. There's weekly specials, along with the regular menu, and you can easily sit down for lunch in under an hour. The menu is full of classic Italian favorites; pizzas, pastas, salads, etc., with enough variety that our large group was happy about. The tuna tartare was fresh (considering we were landlocked) and my caesar salad was delicious. I also sampled the pizza and enjoyed it. The crust was on point with the right amount of toppings. Overall, a great place to dine if you're starting to get sick of Czech food and need something different!

The mojito was perfectly balanced--not too sweet, which is hard to find! The vibe here is awesome. There was a live band with a lead singer who had a beautiful voice, and the pub's decor really brings the whole atmosphere together. It was crowded, but in a way that felt lively rather than overwhelming. To top it off, the bartender was incredibly nice and helpful.

We ordered the beef cheeks, which were served cold (likely as intended but not what I was expecting). Flavor was fine but not great. The burger was also just okay. For something so standard, it was passable but not likely to order again. Our favorite dishes were 1) the duck and 2) potato and vegetable patties. Duck was crispy, hot, and had pretty good flavor! The vegetable patties were also crispy and balanced, slightly sweet. The beer list was limited but we liked what we ordered. Hate to be a broken record but we've had better while in the city. Wouldn't recommend this place to a friend since it was just average.

This place is located on a corner, facing a very busy square. There are outside tables, but we opted to sit inside as it was a somewhat chilly October evening. The interior is nicely decorated with lots of rich wood. Our broken Czech was not a problem as the staff all spoke pretty good English. For dinner I ordered the Roast Rabbit with bacon & gnocchi, while P ordered Risotto with mushrooms. There was also lots of cold Pilsner and Czech wine. Everything was extremely good and we definitely enjoyed people-watching out the window next to our table. With a favorable USD to Krona conversion rate, our evening cost less than $48. Overall, it was a very enjoyable evening.
