I recently had the pleasure of dining at Bar Sinizki, and it was an experience worth sharing. From the moment we arrived, the staff was attentive and well-coordinated, which is impressive considering they’ve only been open for less than two months.
Food Highlights:
Maslo z Synznki (Ham & Cheese Baguette): We started our meal with this dish, and it was absolutely divine. The bread was authentic, fresh, and homemade, while the ham and cheese were impeccable. A drizzle of olive oil added the perfect touch, making it impossible not to finish every last bite.
Trout Rillette Tartin: I didn’t expect this to surpass the ham and cheese baguette, but it certainly held its own. The trout had a unique, light, almost earthy flavor that paired beautifully with the herbs and the thin rye bread. It was a delightful surprise.
Balkan Salad: We took a short break to enjoy the Balkan Salad, which had a delicious Mediterranean vibe. The cheese was rich, and the tomatoes were ripe and fresh. We almost devoured the entire salad until the pierogis arrived.
Potato & Cheese Pierogi: By the time these arrived, I was already on my first glass of wine and nearly full. However, the sight of these pierogis covered in brown butter was too tempting to resist. The caramelized onions and potato filling were authentic and satisfying, so much so that we ended up ordering a second batch along with another glass of wine.
Service and Atmosphere:
A special thanks to Mack, the bartender, who made our evening delightful with excellent explanations and recommendations. The staff was well-trained, focused, and genuinely happy to be there, which added to the overall positive experience. We were told there would be a 20-40 minute wait, but we were seated at the bar within minutes after enjoying a drink at one of the outdoor high tops.
Conclusion:
Bar Sinizki in Atwater Village offers not just great food but also outstanding service. The combination of delicious dishes and a welcoming atmosphere makes this place a standout. We will definitely be back. Five...
Read moreReally nice environment at Sinizki. Service is kind and prompt. I think if there were a little more focus on the food this place could be fantastic. Like many LA resturants of this wine bar wave Sinizki is trying to use good products and prepare simple food that people want to eat, nothing pretentious. But simple food is really challenging it requires attention on seasoning and consistency. Had anyone tasted the highly over-dressed carrot salad? The first bite is exciting and flavorful but the second and third are exhausting. The carrots, apples and persimmons were lost in a pool of dressing. This continued on with our mains. Overly salty chicken, burger, and fries. I understand tasting the same dishes over and over again becomes tiring but that is required in a restaurant trying to cook simply. I look forward to coming back because I really like the environment and service, more than most other LA wine bars in its class. I hope they are able to dial it in from the kitchen because Sinizki...
Read moreWow, what a gem! I recently had the pleasure of dining here and it absolutely exceeded every expectation. From the moment we walked in on a Friday evening, the ambiance was just lovely and felt very European. The checkerboard floors, curved marble bar, and the cozy yet sophisticated vibe made for a perfect evening.
Our server, Kelsey, was absolutely wonderful. She was attentive, friendly, and well-versed in the menu, offering great recommendations for both food and drinks. The service was flawless throughout the entire meal.
The food was, in a word, out of control delicious. We had the Goddess salad, which was a 10/10 and a definite must-have. The Kielbasa entree was also a 10/10, perfectly prepared and full of flavor. The pierogi? A 10/10 mustttttttt. It tasted so homemade and comforting. It's clear that everything on the menu is thoughtfully crafted and perfectly prepared. We also enjoyed a few cocktails that were...
