    Delightful venue with superb service. Nice fresh twist on Eastern European culinary staples, and many seafood offerings too. We enjoyed the excellent beef stroganoff and fantastic Budapest Schnitzel. The schnitzel was as good or better than what we had in Budapest and Vienna. We will definitely return.
