Well.. this review is a bit late since the restaurant has closed :( but a homage to the deliciousness! Borscht with mushroom (a warm soup of beet and chicken broth, packed with beet and mushroom pieces)Summer borscht (a cold beet soup) which was a bit too creamy for my likingDeep fried pierogies were a lot thinner than other pierogies I've had. I also wished they were filled a bit more.Potato pakcakes with meat were nice and thick and lightly friedFlour dumplings (chicken) with fresh dill and sour cream, I loved these!Now if only I can find a new Lithuanian restaurant in the bay... or I guess its time for a vacation.

What a shame that this little gem has closed it's doors.Have been there numerous times ordering something different each time. Have never left there disappointed. Hopefully someone else will open another one soon

Was lucky enough to pass by for pickup the week before they closed. I was worried that they may not have as much food options available or things may not taste as great as they may not be ordering new ingredients/stock but that was not the case.All the food we ordered has a great taste! Most of their food options seem to be either fried or soup, so if youre not into that, read more into the menu.Parking can be tough as it was on the main downtown street.It was unfortunate that I couldn't purchase some Lithuanian beer bottles and they were not allowed to sell to go even with food! They could only sell for dine in but they weren't doing dine in so they were stuck with it. I'll have to keep Lithuanian beer on my list to try sometime.Wishing them much luck on their future endeavors.Thank you for the meal!

Oh man! I always love exploring ethnic restaurants where the flavors are unique, especially when they are as rare as this place, apparently the only one on the West Coast! Even the host was very sweet and pleasant (and actually speaks Lithuanian!), giving good recommendations on what to get! The flavors were homey and you can definitely tell they made everything with love! Definitely try the beer here with your food. The patio in the back was a nice experience, so you don’t have to do only takeout!

The beer garden and food are great. The garden is a perfect spot to drink and eat before a night out. There are plenty of quality sides if you are just trying snack and chat with friends. This restaurant offers a hard to find style of food to the area. Give it a try, you wont regret it!At the time of this review, the covid pandemic is running rampant. While the garden and normal business operation is hindered, they are still making food if you call in. I encourage everyone to try out this place out as no one knows what the future might bring.

Just a wonderful place for dinner. I am so sorry it is closing at the end of the month

Dined on the patio in their beer garden. A spot we've been to a few times and throughly enjoyed their Lithuanian beers. We tried some new beers this time including a very tasty hoppy lager and marzen.The stuffed cabbage rolls, home made pickles and potato pancake with meat were all delicious.

Best cleanest Eastern European restaurant in Bay Area. Enjoyed sitting in their garden and eating borscht. Though some people may find amber tea not what they expected.

When you crave something unique come here. You just don't find these kinds of restaurants abundant here in the bay Area. I've tried just about everything they offer here and can't decide which is my favorite. Everything is delicious and you can taste the love.

The place offers a great variety of delicious food. I enjoyed dining here. Staff members are always helpful, rates are reasonable and the spot is always neat.

The borscht is amazing and this has been great comfort food and attentive service during the pandemic. We can't wait to sit down and eat in the restaurant (or beer garden) again soon.

So frustrating. We had an order for 100+$ and got old oldish soles. All the food was untasty, like they were keepin in it for a month. Bad, and this was during this pandemic situation, when we thought it was a good idea to support local business and have a good meal from fime to time. Thanks, Im done with this restaurant

The food is delicious, and the people are always so friendly. The borscht and the dumplings are my favorite things on the menu, but everything I've tried had been good.

The food is delicious and take out service is so kind. Really makes a difference for us during this physical distancing time. Also, they’re local so there is that
