Not Recommend, not a good dining experience. Came in on a Sunday for brunch, was seated in the Patio by the order entry/payment processing station. I have a sulfite allergy and waiter was very accommodating and answered all my questions. Unfortunately, once we received our food, my cappuccino was cold, did not get sugar or spoon served. He remade my cappuccino but still didn't bring sugar or spoon. I ordered a classic burger on a gluten free bun, the bun crumbled as I took each bite, it was hard. I didn't eat the bun. The burger was missing lettuce, tomato, etc., I did request it and they added the trimmings. I didn't get my water refill, had to ask for water a few times. I wanted to get up to get my own stuff. The waiter was not attentive. The restaurant was not that busy, I have been there when it is packed. Came in on a Tuesday for dinner and was disappointed again. I was seated upstairs but noticed there were a lot of empty tables open on the first floor, but we still went upstairs. We were once again seated by the order entry/payment processing station. The waiter once again was accommodating with my sulfite allergy, I had all my questions answered. The food was decent but once again, no refill on water or club soda. Waiter was not attentive. Since we were sitting by the order entry/payment processing station, I noticed table lamps behind me, so I grab 2 lamps to place on our table because the waiter was not around to be attentive, it was getting dark. Shortly after, another staff member was reaching over me (without saying excuse me or do you mind if I reach over) to get the table lamps for another party. Just disregarded I was sitting there. As we were walking out the restaurant, I wanted to give feedback of my two experiences at the restaurant in the past week. I had not been to the restaurant since last year (we dine 4 times) and I honestly have raved and recommended the restaurant to friends, and family members. There was a gentleman (seemed to be a manager) and asked if he can help. As I started to explain my concerns and commented on our dining experience, I noticed he was leaning over the counter (didn't move) and without concern told me that I could complain online (google, yelp, etc.). When I asked if the restaurant was under new management he laughed (scoffed) and continue to disregard my concerns. If he was the manager, he didn't care about a customer's concerns or comments. As a manager, he did not address me with respect or try to be empathetic about the situation. He did not offer an apology or try to say thank you for the comments we will take into consideration to work with our staff.

Excellent products! 3 of my 6 Polish uncles were bakers so I know a good bread when I smell and see it. This place is simply awesome: it has crusty bread made the old fashioned way as well as sweet treats of all kinds. The line and the fact that they never have any leftovers is a proof how much Polish people and local neighbors appreciate this establishment. Wide variety of breads including low gluten is available. Order ahead to make sure you get what you want before it's sold out! I poped in today for one loaf but at another times I placed holiday orders of breads and cakes or sat down for a meal. Very small space to eat reminds me of Parisian bustro but with Polish American hospitality

Apparently this new restaurant has received many reviews in a short period of time. Like myself, I believe that we’ve all been compelled to do so by the high level of excellence in every facet of the operation. Friendliness and attentiveness of the staff is exceptional. So is the food. So is the appearance inside. Breakfast potatoes were particularly good. For those who are GF, you”ll appreciate the quality gluten free pancakes.
