We've chosen this place for its interior and music. It looks really vintage with a enough dose of elegance and nonchalance to make you feel comfortable. Our only suggestion is to introduce some partitions between tables for a bit more of privacy. But the colour of the walls, the decorations and the piano make it rather irresistible. Now to the waiting service. We've visited twice and twice it was impeccable. The first time it wasn't busy and the waitress paid us a lot of attention, telling us about the history of the place, explaining that they're selling great polish liquors by Baczewski and taking pride in offering typical Polish dishes. She was equally nice to all the customers finding something to talk about to all of them. The second time it was much later, they were very busy yet the waiter was super polite and efficient. The food was great, there is nothing else to be said. Selection is nice, not too little not too much. Menu offers something for vegetarians and children and those looking for the excellency of Polish cuisine. We had beetroot soup with small dumplings and kuyavian sour soup (both times!) Then a pig leg with cooked sour cabbage first time and pork tenderloin on potato pancakes the second, and pike perch with soft noodles. It was absolutely divine. We flushed it down with mulled ginger beer, mulled honey and house wine. All worth to be recommended. We've also tried the tasting set from Baczewski. But it wasn't to our taste, more like vodka than a sweet liquor. However, I'm sure it's worth to try it to get your own opinion. We'll be...

Read moreMy wife and I went last week for lunch and really enjoyed our experience. She had the lunch special and I had the zurek soup and beef ribs over mashed potatoes. Everything I had was quite delicious and the design of the restaurant is impressive. Regarding the negative comment about the potatoes, this is what mashed potatoes (not blended, so there are chunks) are supposed to be. It sounds like that person wanted pureed potatoes (very smooth, without any clumps). As far as the other negative reviews go, sheesh, give the place a break. They just opened so naturally there are some kinks to get worked out. Give them some time, and go back and you'll enjoy it. I review restaurants professionally, and if I'm doing a review, I never, never go to a place until they've been open a few months. Anyway, it's good and I expect it will get even better as...
