Dziurka od Klucza — Restaurant in Warsaw

Overall the restaurant is alright, so why the two stars? First of all during my visit I found the staff to be rather disorganized. It took more than half an hour to get the menu and another 15 to get our drinks after. This was on a Friday evening but the place wasn't completely filled.

Next the food is relatively expensive and what I received was a decent dish but it felt like it was trying to do too much at once. I had the pasta with chicken, honey, basil and cream sauce, which didn't feel coherent and was far too sweet and rich. I would have loved to ask a waitress for some lemon to brighten up the dish but it proved very difficult to get their attention. My girlfriend had some pasta dish with shrimp but to me it tasted very odd. The goat cheese cheesecake was very nice, however, I can recommend it.

This place doesn't serve any alcohol, when asked why we were told that it had to do with not disturbing the neighbors. It is, however, possible to bring your own wine and pay 15PLN to be allowed to drink it. How this prevents a disturbance boggles my mind as I saw groups with multiple bottles on the table but okay. Very very strange, never ever seen this.

All in all it wasn't awful and I'm sure you can get some decent food, but this place is, in my opinion, very overrated. It doesn't really have a wow factor at all and that is what you expect reading the reviews and...

It's a shame to say that this business lost it's touch. The food here used to be brilliant, and an absolute delight on a cold winter's day. It's a shame that it has gone downhill so much. The food is okay, it's not bad but it's nothing special either, really a shame considering what it used to be. Prices are often subjective, but I don' think the meals are worth their price tags anymore, especially things like the 15 złoty lemonade which tasted like it was watered down to the absolute limit. Finally the service is... lacking, we got seated quickly because we have a reservation, and then waited for 15 minutes for someone to come get our order. I get it, there are quite a few people but most are already waiting for their food or were in the process of eating it so the wait seemed a little weird. When we finally ordered we waited for over half an hour, now again that was surprising since at that point most of the people around us were eating already and it didn't really seem like our meals were that complicated, i had a rather simple pasta dish and the people I was with basically ordered entrees from the "meal of the day", Overall I was left quite disappointed, especially after knowing how this place performs on a good day, hope that things do change back to...

We had a steak from chefs menu. The steak was a bit tough because it had sinews or membranes inside. Some peaces of it were hard to chew. The quality does not match the price. What I really liked was tuna tartar with watermelon! Totally recommend it. Alcohol cocktails were veeeery light and about 45pln per one. Service was nice and it was already included in the bill but nobody notified me about that! Be ready for this. As for me I don’t like this way of tipping at all, I would like to decide the tip amount by my own depending on service quality. Not to be forced to pay the exact amount. No issues about the service level but issue is with manager who made a decision of forced tipping. I reserved table in few weeks before my visit and asked for a nice table because I had a special occasion but I got not the best option in fact. Recommend you to choose the exact table in reservation to be sure the atmosphere will suit your expectations. Nice place but I won’t come back there, unfortunately. Overpriced to...
