“Linden is a neighborhood that was once all Polish. Not so much now, but it still attracts many Polish patrons wanting to drink and eat the familiar cuisine. Located on West Price Street off of a busy Wood Avenue and highly recommended, some of my colleagues came to this hidden gem, Amsterdam Alley for lunch. Upon arrival, the establishment isn’t a large building and has outdoor seating available. Upon entering, the inside has a front room with a bar and several high-top tables. The back room has standard-height tables. Both rooms have several TVs. It's inviting, charming, rustic, and very clean. We were greeted by the staff and decided on a table in the back room. Our server, Kasia, was informative and accommodating. There were several menus given to us: the main had a big variety of Polish classics; today’s special; and lunch. We ordered from the lunch menu and got six pieces of pierogis with mushroom soup, a Polish-style mushroom-stuffed baguette, and a grilled Polish kielbasa sandwich with sautéed onions and pickles, accompanied by fries. The food was excellent, fresh, and authentically Polish! However, there was a small incident with the soup, but our server was able to rectify the problem. The portions were just right, and the prices were amazing. We could recommend this place.“
“The food and service were 5 star. I personally know (because I really enjoy scotch) how much a bottle of Macallan 18 yr reserve cost. I also know from being in the business how to run a liquor cost. My guest and i with just two drinks (one each) not only paid for the entire bottle but made a profit for the establishment. 70 to 80 dollars isn't unheard of for this brand and year but $105 is. The by the glass wines could be better also. I will be back (if they will have me ?) but will be having Scotch....“
“PROs- 5 star location, food, service , priceCONs- parking !I rarely give a 5 star and this one deserves it . Went for a bday eve and it was really good . Location is good . Lots of other restaurants nearby. Parking is a bit crazy . We had to park a couple of blocks away and take a 5-7 min walk. Parking is generally free after 6 pm . Even if not it’s too expensive. About 50 cents for 30 mins .Service was good . They give bread and butter to start with and it was fresh . My kids had pasta .. ? really awesome ! We also tried pizza ? and it was tasty. Lots of veggie options . I had Panzenalla salad . ? very fresh and nice proteins .. five cheese ziti was super good . Mozzy garlic bread was so good . To end it tiramisu .. I actually didn’t like it much . It was ok. It was still a very good experience.. kudos to the whole team .“
