This new bistro is sure to surprise you with stunningly delicious Eastern European food, kind and classic service, and a gorgeous indoor space. After our experience, we will be back!
Definitely for date nights and celebrations, Domek was where my husband and I decided to celebrate our 4th wedding anniversary dinner. We ordered two begin plates, two entrées, a main, and dessert, with a few drinks in between.
Food:
1) The two must-haves: Croquettes and Lángos! The balance of flavors and textures on these two dishes were surprising, delightful, and intense. These were my personal favorites of the entire night. Seriously, order this.
2) Fresh and delicious: Spring pea tartine and shrimp toast. The tartine was a pea and mint celebration, and was almost like a large salad with the crunchy fresh peas on top. The shrimp toast paired very buttery brioche against bright small shrimp, and balanced together nicely.
3) Main: Chicken paprikas. We were recommended this as their most popular dish twice, so we went for it - very yummy, the chicken was perfectly cooked, juicy, and fresh with crispy seasoned skin - a feat! All in all a well-executed chicken dish. I think next time we'll try a different main, for our tastes!
4) Dessert: Forgetting the name, it was a stacked dessert with sheets of puff pastry, a vanilla-bay pastry crème, walnut sauce, and a bay syrup. SO GOOD! My husband paired this with a sip of Royal Tokaji and he was in absolute heaven.
Wine:
We wished there were just a few more options on the by-the-glass menu! But my husband settled on a glass he enjoyed after trying out a splash of two of the others on the white wine list. However, our server handled all our preferences well and we had no complaints. We hope to see more Eastern European options to add to the theme! We are very glad they are adding Tokaji.
Service:
Incredibly kind, outgoing, and warm service. We were very much happy with the way this bistro was being handled. It felt hospitable and classy. I think this is a major selling point for Domek, and they should keep it up, given how important this aspect is for keeping customers coming back to any establishment. read more
