My go to restaurant for taking friends, whether from out of state as was this visit, or showing locals a little gem. Just adore the polish delights, always consistent and enjoyed by all. And a great opportunity to introduce others to the wonderful array of vodka on offer! Great ambience, always full and always abuzz.
