    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.

    In town for the Thanksgiving holiday and wanted to stop by to try this place and it did not disappoint! Service was excellent all around. Do yourself a big favor and make sure to order the cheddar biscuits—best biscuit I’ve ever had and apparently they sell out daily. We also enjoyed the toasted nuts, marinated olives and the short rib tortellini. We liked this place so much that we’re planning to come back again before heading home to try some of the other things on the menu that sounded so good (and you better believe we’re gonna get those biscuits again!!).

    Such a hip, energetic vibe. Our group all in our 70’s had a little difficulty hearing as it’s loud for we oldies, but “different” food (amazing octopus) and fun.
