   Food was great, service was fair at best. We made dinner reservations for a Saturday night. Even with reservations, we were seated about 25 minutes late. To get us seated, they broke up a setting for 6 and pulled a smaller table off that (we were a party of 2). There wasn’t enough space to do this…so we were still pretty close to original table and that party of four, while also being smack dab in the middle of a busy walkway. Everyone was nice, it just seemed disorganized and a mess. The food was great (we had an order of pierogis to start…and i had beef short ribs, my boyfriend had scallops) so we will give it another shot on a different day and less busy time.

   2nd time here for a business dinner, and all were happy with food. Timing was a bit off but still acceptable.

   The beet infused martini is exceptional—herbaceous and tart and a beautiful color! The borscht and chicken paprikas soups were delicious and the schnitzel was tasty and enormous. The cabbage rolls were very good but the mushroom gravy stole the show. Our waiter was excellent—there when we needed him but never rushing us.

   Service was excellent and the space is very nice. Food was really good too, freshly made and of high-quality. Gave 4 stars because I felt it was under seasoned.

   Our food was fine, not as wonderful as I remembered from a previous visit. Our server was too busy with other duties and was not overly concerned with our table.

   As an eastern European, myself.....and chef! I think the food was decent. The value was poor. BUT. . The service was awful! I was thirsty the entire time. The food was delivered with zero follow up. (aka. how is everything? Do you need anything?) There were young ladies wandering around like deer in the headlights of,,,?? Their job?- not sure... But I suggest the G.M. instruct them to- *fill waters, * clear plates, give refills, deliver condiments, GET OF THEIR PHONES .

   Excellent service and the food was outstanding! I don't think I have ever been to a restaurant where the servings were so large that everyone took food home with them. This was the third time we have been there this fall and I can't wait to go back.

    Food was good but highly overpriced for the slow service. I never understand the idea of reservations if there isn’t enough staff to service those reservations .That’s the difference between good and great restaurants - knowing when to cut off acceptable reservations and keep walk ins at a longer wait .
