It was sold and relocated?Sweet Willie wrote: The fried bread hill w/cheese was the big downer for our group of 8 last night, bread was so overfried that it was very hard, greasy & tasteless. I can imagine that if the bread is fried just so it is crispy on the very edges but chewy, this would be a terrific dish as the cheese/garlic sauce was quite good. But as mentioned, big disappointment last night.
Great service, which isn't always easy to find at some Eastern European places I've been to.
The other starter was the veal dumplings w/sour cream bacon sauce. Quite tasty and a deal as there were probably 20 in an order.
While the beef tongue in cream sauce looked quite good, I opted for the Lithuanian Combo Plate: slice of Kugelis, zepplin, potato sausage, Lithuanian sausage, sauerkraut.
Dinner also included a cup of soup, I chose the warm beet soup which was terrific.
Highlight for me was the potato sausage and Kugelis. Zepplin was far too much dumpling that had very little flavor, ground meat stuffing was good. Lithuanian sausage was bland.
Nice to have Lithuanian beer on tap.
I'll for sure be back, just will stay clear of the bread hill.
Same owners, new concept.pudgym29 wrote:It was sold and relocated?
