Loved Grand Duke!! It was our first time coming there and we wated a true german Food experience. The food was beyond amazing and the whole ambiance was perfect!! I loved my dinner which was the pork loin, mashed potatoes, green beans and gravy. My husband thought his meatloaf was a tad dry but was better with the mushroom gravy. We pre-ordreed Original Potato Pancakes with sour cream and applesauce. LOVED them!! The only thing I would be prepared for is don't be in a hurry....

Omg. West-slavic comfort food to the max (Polish, Ukrainian, Lithuanian, etc). I loved it here. Only thing is if you order schnitzel, its hard to know which one is which (chicken looks the same as beef and etc.) - if multiple people in your party order it, make sure to pay attention!!

The menu and the food were excellent. The live music was too loud for comfortable communication where we were sitting. That is something to keep in mind when selecting your table.
