The decorations are INCREDIBLE here. The food is very authentic and delicious, especially the pierogies and schnitzel . The service was great as well. Cannot wait to go back!

I recently had the misfortune of dining at this charming Polish establishment with my vegan friend, where I encountered a blonde waitress who seemed to embody the perfect blend of golden locks and a heart of stone. Her exceptional service skills were only rivaled by her apparent disdain for anyone who didn't share her skin tone. I bet her parents must be happy that she is not the only child they have. My friend and I decided to try their famous "homemade"pierogies freshly delivered from somewhere else frozen, but with a slight modification – no cheese, please. When my friend, who happens to be white, requested that simple modification to the pierogies, our blonde waitress responded with a warmth that could rival the Arctic tundra, grudgingly agreed to our request. Her expression was so unfathomable that it almost felt like she was asking my friend to give up. It was as if the mere act of accommodating a dietary preference was an affront to her very existence. Should I ever wish to end myself, I shall jump from the level of her hubris to the level of her courtesy. When the pierogies arrived, my friend and I were thrilled to find that the portion was generously small, making the price feel like a robbery - $18 for 7 pierogies. Apparently they have put quite a load of efforts redefining the concept of "value for money". The food, while tasty, was portioned with the generosity of a miser, making the price feel like a joke. But what truly made our evening special was the exceptional service from our blonde waitress. It's impressive how she even managed to make my white friend feel unwelcome. Several other reviews have mentioned her unique talent for making people of colour feel particularly unwelcome, and I must commend her consistent rudeness to all races. Though I, as an Asian, did not personally experience any evident racism, it's heartwarming to know that she maintains such high consistency. In fact, I enjoyed her absence very much. I would recommend this lovely place to all white supremists to learn something from her. If you're looking for a dining experience that combines overpriced, undersized meals with a side of racism, then this is the perfect place for you. And don't forget to ask for the blonde waitress – she's the icing on the cake.

I had a very disappointing experience couple of days ago. The service was shockingly rude—staff seemed uninterested and even dismissive. As for the food, it was underwhelming at best. They highly recommended their "homemade" pierogies, but as I was going to the washroom I saw a delivery of store-bought frozen ones brought in, which felt like a complete lie to customers. Honesty and basic courtesy go a long way, and unfortunately, this place lacks both. I won’t be returning.

This is a really fun little pub with a great atmosphere. The food focuses on polish/eastern, and if you are in that mood, this is a terrific spot. A little understaffed for how busy it gets, but service was friendly.

The place looks really cool, it was such a nice visit and dining experience, the staff are really nice and friendly. We got the Polish Platter to try everything, it’s a lot of food for 2 people. It’s all really yummy tho.

It was ok, but the borshe was lame, I should have read that it was just a broth with add-on tortellini, for a Polish restaurant it can be a lot better. The Bar staff wasn't very happy looking and had zero personality. Same with the cook who would come to the bar for a beer or drink, and bartender.was gone for maybe 5 -10 min at a time to help cook in the kitchen and serve. Still bar was left unattended a few times we had to wait to re-order. Also to pay you have to have cash or walk to the side of the bar, it's not a big deal but who wants to go up to the bar and wait to pay while the server is talking with regulars, we didn't feel welcome at all, we will 100$ never return.

I absolutely loved the Halloween decor. And the food is fresh and very tasty. Probably one of the closest restaurants of having a nice Polish home cooked style meal. The blonde waitress is also very pleasant and polite even when it is busy.
