    Almost impossible to tell the difference between two of the appetizers--pierogies and dumplings. Both are presented in the same runny sauce and taste the same and both were average. The borscht soup was mediocre at best.

    Love Dacha ! My new favorite ! The vodka infusions are amazing and the menu is great, real authentic Eastern Euro comfort food. The vibe is cozy, relaxed, friendly, and the service is exceptional. Will be coming back often !

    The food is great, and the atmosphere is wonderful. I highly recommend the beef stroganoff, the beet salad, and the cabbage-wrapped dish. We love Café D!

    Great selection of appetizers. We loved the Pelmeni and Vereniki. Also, the Borscht and Kharacho soups. For entrees, the stuffed cabbage was delicious. Both the Beef Stroganoff and Lamb kabob had great flaor and sauces, but we found the meat to be a bit chewy. For drinks, the Horseradish infused Vodka was fantastic and the Pinot Grigio was very good. Many more interesting dishes we can try the next time. Our table was outside on the patio which we found to be rather noisy at times in the eveniong.

    This is our second time at Cafe Dacha. The food was outstanding both times. The waitress recommendations were spot on. We will definitely be back.
