Called about three different times, weeks apart from each other, and they never have the food I want in stock, and I ask for multiple things. Learn how to stock your business, gave you three chances and you blew all of them.

Great new spot! Just stopped in with my kids while Mother's Day shopping. The perogies were delicious (we had the beef and the mushroom). They're topped with a grilled onion and bacon mixture good enough to eat by itself. The fries were some of the best I've had anywhere; maybe top them with onions and bacon too? Definitely stop in next time you're in the area.

Great food and service! Friendly staff. They also cater to American fast food favorites. Best pierogies in town!

Had some very tasty crepes here. The gentlemen at this establishment were extremely kind and generous. They asked what we genuinely thought of their dish and even waived the fee for the holidays! Talk about ringing in the new year with some good vibes! Definitely payed it forward and will be coming back to try their perogis.

I like this place...I tried a chicken special they had..which came with a half chicken, vegetables and mashed potatoes. Everything tasted great! Pierogi's are also some of the best I've tasted.

Amazing food, their polish sausage and pierogis are AMAZING. Staff was so kind and attentive. Even brought my kids a little sweet treat for free! So thoughtful. Will be back very soon!

Very good cheese burger, the fries were also seasoned perfectly and tasted great, not too oily, and not too dry.

They were out of several entrees. They were out of our first choice of wine. Burrata cheese tasted like fish and there were bean spro6thst were bitter. The crab cake and Filet Mignon were mediocre. It used to be a great place to eat, but we won't be back.

We arrived 10 minutes prior to our reservation; no hostess. One of the waitresses came over and I stated our name. She never spoke a word to us, took 2 menus, marched to a table, threw the menus down and walked off. No "follow me," "good evening," etc. We just assumed we should go to that table. Our server, Page, showed up quickly and we ordered cocktails and felt better as she was nice. We ordered an escargot appetizer which came fairly quickly. However, we received no small forks to get the meat out of the shell. By the time we got the forks the escargot was cold. My wife and I ordered a filet and bone in rib-eye. About 30 minutes later Page must have sensed things in the kitchen were slow and brought us another escargot gratis in means of restitution. Again, no forks. Our un-bused plates were stacked on the side of our table so we took back the used utensils. Watching the dining room there were no people busing tables except for 1 gentleman and the wait staff. They were completely overwhelmed. Where was help on a Friday Valentine's Day night?!?! Floor manager? Food arrived after 1 hour and 5 minutes. My wife's filet was fine but I had to saw through the rib-eye. If you are paying $35 for a steak you expect better. We drove from Sugar Grove to try it out. We wouldn't drive 2 blocks to go again. Loved Page but she had no chance to please everybody with the workload. The behavior of the rude waitress that "sat" us is inexcusable regardless of how busy you are. We were set up mentally right off the bat for a bad night. Even a hello would have gone a long way but no words?! Really? We can tolerate a lot more than most patrons. Methinks most would have walked out and some probably did so. In a word the experience was awful.

Not enough help,Forever to get a drink,rude bartender,appetizer was a bunch of empty shell with no meat in them,way overpriced.stale ,cold bread. Nearly fighting other patrons to get attention of one of the two servers

First off, food was outstanding! We had scallops and hanger steak. Both were perfect. One negative is that only the steaks come with a side. Otherwise sides are $8 and small. Service does need to improve. We had to wait a few minutes for the hostess to arrive. Took awhile for the food to arrive. My steak came first and then it was 5 minutes before my wife's scallops came.

Was there last Saturday, food was excellent. I Had the salmon with lentils and spinach, my wife had egg plant Parmesan. This place is fairly new and I hope it catches on because the chef is very good there

Our server was excellent, just the right amount of interaction. My scallops were excellent, my husband's fillet was not. It had gristle and a fillet should not. When it came to dessert, they were out of the 2 things he would have liked. They did comp him a liquid dessert to make up for it.
