overrated.. this place has received a ton of great reviews and 95% of people on urbanspoon liked it. how could i pass it up? unfortunately, i was disappointed by the whole experience.
after i walked in and found a seat, i noticed the menu was written on a chalkboard behind the bar rather than providing printed menus. no problem. then my wife pointed out a sign that stated there was no table service. you have to order your food and drinks at the bar. fair enough. we chose our food and approached the bar to take a look at the draft beer selection. there were only four beers on draft, despite the fact that they had about a dozen taps. maybe they're updating their draft system?
my wife and i ordered pierogies, fries, and three house-made sausages; curry, feuer, and garlic pepper. there was a pretty long wait on a simple order, despite the fact that the kitchen wasn't very busy. while waiting on our food, i couldn't help but notice through the door to the kitchen the repetitive use of a microwave.
our food finally came. the pierogies weren't very warm or particularly tasty, but were topped well enough to mask their mediocrity. the sausages were interesting. the feuer tasted like chili powder. the curry of course tasted like curry and the garlic pepper like garlic pepper. unfortunately, the addition of spices into the sausages couldn't hide how incredibly dry the sausages were. perhaps that's thanks to the microwave? of all our food, the fries were the best, although under-salted, with no table salt in sight.
