This is a fantastic place for a fun evening. The food is fantastic if you enjoy good heavy Eastern European cuisine. Dumplings are great, so are the tasting plates and the Perogi. To top it all off, some great cocktails and for those who want a big evening definitely try the Absinth. For a real experience try the "Green Fairy", at 80% and brewed by a local Polish guy in his bath, the experience will outlast burn!
