At July 2025 when I was visiting, I came into this cafe and ordered two dishes. The foods cost $33, plus 8.625% tax in San Francisco and 15% tips I clicked on the screen, the total should be $41. Yet I came to realized much later that they charged me $45.59!

At that time, the bill was handwritten for me to check, and when I put down the credit card, a staff came with a POS machine. I clicked 15%, signed, and saw the total charge went to $43.xx, so I checked the handwritern bill again and realized the staff made a mistake (the total of the pre-tax food items should be $33 and but she wrote $35). I pointed it out, the staff apologized, and gave me $2 cash.

So far everything should be fine, an honest mistake and the staff was very nice about it. However, this does not explain why my credicard was eventually charged $45 instead of the $43 I signed for.

Were there uncommon charges in San Francisco, and is it allowed that the resterant owner to not inform customer about it & not showed them in the final amount (after tax and tip) on the bill?

I was really looking forward to eating here, but when I asked for the bathroom first I was greeted with an aggressive no before I could explain I was looking for a table.

We were the first persons in last Sunday. The gentleman who ran the place was very friendly and warm, offering suggestions and let us know what was just finished in the kitchen (Stroganoff and a pork dish).

Fun Euro music in the background.

We had Sweet cheese Pierogies, Beef Stroganoff, Cabbage Roll with Mashed Potatoes and Mushroom Sauce, and Silesian Potato Dumplings in Mushroom Sauce.

Good food on a sunny afternoon. We'd go back again. 😊

The owner is so friendly and attentive. The food...unbelievable. I believe I ended up going like 6 times in 3 months. I can not wait to go back to SF to eat here.

I had the chicken peirogi appetizer and chicken schnitzel entree. The food was delicious and homemade. The service was friendly and helpful. I’ll definitely be back to this charming little place.

I’d like to point out that this café has a very attentive owner, Alex, who is present at the establishment and genuinely cares whether guests are satisfied. The staff is very polite, the prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the food is delicious. I highly recommend it, especially for those who enjoy European cuisine!

borscht 👎🏽 portions are too small, the waiter, who is also the administrator, does not specify what portion
