Typical czech well almost, sure the place is a bit dark the furniture looks sturdy and old and the food is well... filling. The tables are slightly sticky (could be more at different tables not sure) and you would expect every patron to be smoking (no longer allowed in restaurants in Czech) but the staff they are just to darn friendly. No throwing of menus on the table or bringing the wrong dishes and refusing to change them unless the unlucky sob that received the wrong g order pays for it as well as their actual order. I even witnessed how one table dared complain about not getting one of their plates and they were met with an apology and had it brought to the table right away. So for authentic czech food and atmosphere this is a pretty good place if only the could get the staff to be a lot less nice.
Besides that food quality will not win any prices but that's pretty much what one would expect in an average restaurant/bar.
Not worth a detour but if you are looking for a bite to eat and want to have that authentic czech experience this is a...
Read moreWe ordered the pea soup and the tenderloin in gravy with dumplings.
We thought it was all very good and the prices were good and we are happy.
Ordering was made difficult by the fact that we don’t speak Czech and the employees didn’t speak English, the menu was only in Czech, and google translate was imperfect.
The food was different from what we eat in the USA - it was traditional Czech food following classic recipes. The flavors were all good - just unexpected.

The service was prompt and kind - especially to a group of people who did not know the language or understand the food.
The building is GORGEOUS.
If I ever heard that a friend were going to Mikulov - I’d totally recommend...
Read moreFloor staff is not too bad bud could see it was a bit demotivated. Why? because they don't get much tips. Why? Because their chef can’t cook. Why? Because the owner does not want to pay for a good chef… 35min waiting for roasted duck with red cabbage and dumplings… Then I was given a defrosted duck which was cold inside that the fat was still solid like gelatine. It was bloody cold. Waiter politely apologised and admitted that chef is learning how to use their new convectomat… Why did we wait for 35 min for quickly re-heated duck??? And we were the only customers in the whole restaurant. Duck was tasteless as well. No added flavors, no honey made skin crust, no caraway, nothing. Chef has no idea what is he doing. Not even sign of any attempt to cook well. For $300 I would expect decent meal....
