we chose ariel and sat at a table at the far corner of the patio, with a great view for people watching. the ambience was charming, and we could hear live folk music playing at the restaurant next door. to start, we ordered drinks. i chose a glass of the house white wine, while keith chose a żywiec beer and a shot of the polish bison grass vodka, known as zubrowka. the vodka was strong and did have a slight grass taste to it. he later switched to a honey vodka that was recommended by our server. it, too, was very strong and sweet. to start, keith ate chopped chicken livers with shredded boiled eggs on top and pickled vegetables on the bottom. the mousse was very creamy and rich, and would have been better served with bread or matzo crackers. i chose a special vegetarian version of golombki. these cabbage leaves were stuffed with mushrooms and barley rice, then covered with creamy mushroom sauce that tasted just like grandma olga's mushroom soup. i was in heaven from the first bite. the portion was quite generous and filling too, but i unselfishly shared some with keith.
