First time trying authentic Polish. Food was wonderful and made fresh. Quiet, clean, and simple atmosphere. Great service. Wonder how Polish people would rate it? But we loved everything...except maybe blah strudel.

Authentic, homemade Polish food. Reasonable prices, big portions, restaurant has a high scale feeling to it, smaller restaurant so tables fill up quickly, easy to have a conversation while eating since it’s not a very loud restaurant. The meatballs in mushroom sauce were excellent. Everyone loved their entrees! I read that this is a family owned placed, 2 sisters took over after their dad passed away and have kept the tradition alive. The Perogi and red Borsht (spelling🙊)...

We have eaten here a number of times. We don't live close by or it would be many times. It's one of the best Polish restaurants around. Now I'm in the mood for their food. We might have to take a ride.
