I do like the layout with a table setup of 2-6 seats. The perch was my favorite. Their fries are spiraled like an apple slicer which was cool. The loaded perogies were also delicious. They do have raspberry tea and unsweet tea options. They do have a separate bar section if you'd like to check it out. Nice place!

The entrance was painted with a colorful mural, which took us into the bar. The restaurant had tables and booths but was a small area. We were lucky to have reservations because we were told at the bar there was a wait for seating. We did get seated immediately and were greeted by Sara M and she quickly brought our drinks. We tried the chicken paprikas, which had a lot of sour cream and dumplings that were thick and doughy. The yuengling bettered haddock dinner with fries was cooked perfect. The lobster bisque was served hot and was thick with lots of pieces of seafood. We ended with a piece of cherry pie that was served ice cold and was not homemade. The menu was large and diverse and we hope to try some of the Weekly Specials. Prices were average and some dinners offered a small plate at a lower price. Worth a try.

The staff are very friendly and help create a homey atmosphere. It was hard to choose what to eat, as the menu items all looked amazing, but I went with the pork schnitzel with paprikas sauce, two eggs, home fries, and toast and a side of smoked Slovenian sausage. I wanted to try the crêpes, but was too full. The portions are hearty and very reasonably priced. Everything was delicious. The pork schnitzel was tender on the inside and crispy on the outside. The paprikas sauce was a nice accompaniment. The home fries are homemade and come fried on the griddle so the outside is crispy and the inside light and fluffy. The coffee was delicious. Very rich, mellow flavor. I'll definitely be back. Those European pastries beckon!

Seemed like they only have one waitress who sat us. Service was in the slow side considering only 1 or 2 other tables. I had the beef goulash special and this was delicious and so tender. They were out of the soup that was supposed to go with it so I got double potato dumplings which were ok. My friend got the Wally which is like a sampler plater.

My wife had the chicken schnitzel, perfectly prepared (not greasy) with mashed potatoes and vegetable medley. Finished with palacinke (Croatian crepes) filled with rose hip jam. They've also revamped the main hall which is popular for weddings and many other parties and events.

I wasn't sure where I wanted to go to breakfast this morning because the City of Willoughby (in…read moretheir infinite wisdom) decided to block off the entirety of downtown for a festival. So no one could reach the downtown businesses. So on my way home I came across "Cafe Europa and Bistro" in the Pineridge shopping plaza. It's a small storefront in the middle of the plaza, run by a European family - husband, wife, and son. When I walked in I was a bit surprised that the place was entirely empty because the parking lot was nearly full. The son greeted me warmly and told me to choose any table. He brought me water (spring water) and a menu. We chatted a little. I read the short, very to the point, breakfast menu. And settled on the "Healthy Breakfast". The young man was exceedingly friendly and kept up a running conversation the entire time. His mother was in the kitchen preparing my breakfast. And the entire thing took on a surreal feeling as if I was in the kitchen of their home as a guest. A marvelously fresh breakfast appeared very shortly thereafter and I began my breakfast, as the running conversation (admittedly a bit one sided) continued. An oversized mug of excellent coffee appeared quickly that really was excellent. Time flew by and before I knew it I was reading to leave. The young man asked if I would like a ginger shot, on the house before I left. I thanked him but said no. I paid my $16 bill and after a few pleasantries, departed. All in all it was an unusual experience. Excellent food, good service, nice people... but maybe a little too personal... maybe? I don't know. It was just different. I guess I would just say you should give it a try and see what you think.
