We sat outside which was a great little courtyard covered by umbrellas for the days sun & heat. We got mixed perogies (this is the only place we've been that lets you order multiple kinds on one plate, half roasted duck and Golabki (meatballs rolled inside cabbage). Perogies were fresh and tasty with spinach/cheese being our favorite. Other offers were potato and cheese, and meat. You can get either mushroom sauce or tomato sauce on the Golabki and I was so torn my waitress brought me both so I could compare. The mushroom sauce was delicious on its own but I enjoyed the tomato sauce more with the Golabki which is filled with meat and rice. (This is definitely a smaller dish than some other menu items with only two Golabki being served). The half roast duck was a large portion of food with potatoes. Duck was moist and tender but my husband who fancies himself a duck snob didn't like the preparation. This is going to be more of a Peking duck style of dish then French sear and serve rare. The children's breaded chicken was some of the best breaded chicken I have ever eaten. If you bring a kid force them to order that and then eat half of it hahaha! It appeared that the most popular item there was their duck burgers as I saw many a plate of that pass by our table. I would venture back to give one of those a try!

This Polish restaurant featured duck and that's what brought me in…read more I arrived for a late lunch without a reservation but was seated immediately. There were two rooms and I sat in the long one (the ceiling arc reminded me of a tunnel for some reason) with the duck mural. The menu contained lots of Polish dishes and a dedicated duck section. A duck and pickles appetizer was served gratis. It spread easily on the accompanying slices of bread and was nice. I've not had duck presented like this before and when I piled a couple of the smaller pickle pieces on top the tartness added more complexity for the flavors. I'd order this if it was on their menu. Zurek soup tasted a little tangy and was filled with sausage, mushroom, potatoes plus a whole egg and was delicious. I wasn't sure what to expect but all the different ingredients made for an enjoyable bowl. The bread bowl also contributed by thickening the soup as it abosrbed the broth. The duck breast with smoked plum sauce was thick, cooked medium and very tender. There was a little too much sauce for me but I liked the different taste. The side of glazed carrots and peas had a hint of sweetness and completed the dish along with the potato gnocchi. Service overall was good and efficient. Would return.

I would say Poland definitely is and has a world class soup culture, they take soups very seriously there. The mushroom soup I had was like no other I've ever had anywhere absolutely phenomenal!!

We also got their żurek and barszcz soups and all were super flavorful and light. Overall this place is a solid spot and I would come back.

Our server did come over and was attentive initially, but that completely fell off throughout the time we had our meal. We did try their homemade glass of wine, and it left a lot to be desired. Even though she explained it was a dry wine, it still tasted sweet and it was thick. It even had a strong after taste similar to cough syrup. The Pilsner was nice and cold. We did try the tomato soup and the garlic bread, which was good. We also tried the Hungarian Pancake and the Casserole. I ordered Hungarian and it was very flavorful as was the Casserole dish. Did I absolutely love either dish, I did not, but it was good. I truly think this is going to be an individual preference. What I will tell you is, the food will take 30+ minutes to come out, as they say it can take 45 minutes at the bottom of the menu. Make sure you have an appetite as they serve a LOT of food for your order.

Also, there was a pianist playing holiday music among other notable tunes. Being here myself, it was nice to listen to. I ordered the pork chop, breaded and fried, with roasted potatoes. I also got a hot ginger beer. It's not the soda we have in the States - it's actually a beer with ginger, lemon, cinnamon, and clove. Since it's beer based, it's a little out of my comfort zone. I would normally like something like this if it were non-alcoholic and sweeter but it grew on me as I drank it. The pork chop was really good - very basic, comfort meal.

What makes this place special? A lot of things: - food is exceptional. Always fresh, always tasty, always special, made out of best local ingredients. The menu is not very long, but there's no chance you can try everything. Presentation of the food is excellent as well, it is being served on the world famous, hand made Boleslawiec pottery. - the place looks very nice. Old, wooden house well restored, you eat surrounded with wooden art forms made by some local artist - and a fireplace. And a playground for kids in the garden - and the pond, where the fishes live. - service is excellent as well. You are being waited by really beautiful women dressed in local, traditional dresses, the whole combination is just excellent. At the beginning I mentioned, that the place is worth a long drive. It's not entirely true - it's actually worth a flight. I mean it. I visit this place every singe time I drive by - for last ten years or so. And believe me, it's by no means easy to please me - yet they managed.
