We used to love this place, but unfortunately, it has deteriorated significantly. Our experience this time was deeply disappointing.

From the moment we arrived, the welcome was flat and unorganized. Despite having a reservation, the staff seemed unsure where to seat us and ultimately gave us a table that wasn’t even suitable for dining, simply saying, “sit there.” We also noticed two other parties being moved from their tables, looking equally unhappy.

The food was just as underwhelming. While the meat was acceptable, the carrots were raw, and the once-flavorful, well-prepared dishes were now bland and lifeless—just like the service. The biggest disappointment was the Gvara cake, which used to be fantastic but has now become a pale, uninspiring version of what it once was. (I’ll be uploading photos for comparison, how the dessert used to be and now, in 2025).

To top it off, the restaurant was uncomfortably cold, and the hygiene standards were shocking. The toilet had no bin, so used hand towels were stacked on the sink—absolutely disgusting.

When I said that we weren't satisfied (after being asked to give a 10% tip), the waiter seemed completely uninterested, which was the impression we had had anyway all night.

I agree with the previous review from a local guide here. It’s truly sad to see a once-great restaurant decline like this, but based on this experience, we won’t...

Scam alert! The place charged us 20 zloty (4.60€) service fee, when lliterally the waitress only said hi and what you want, gave us the plates and finally the bill. Where was the service?!? She served the local group with a big smile and a local old woman, but did not give a * about anybody else in the restaurant. We waited the food for a while and it was mediocre at best. My spouse got pork ribs that where tasty, not the best but ok and I ordered pork chop, kotlet schabowy that had only breading on it. This dish was more anemic looking than in gas stations and even they are much better made, and I tought this was a restaurant. This place is a typical tourist trap that looks nice in review pictures, but when you go in you realize that everything (table, chairs, interior) is made very cheap, but the food prices are very high. I think the most telling part of this scam place is that the waitress did not ask us anytime how was the food or is everything well with us. If so, I would have said something about the dish or about the bill, but she wanished righ away when I gave my creditcard without even seeing...
