They ordered a couple of specials and so did the table next to them. I really wanted to try everything on the specials menu but I got some help from guests at another table. First, I had to pass over the Specials so I could get a better idea of what was on the menu every night. The hardest part of any restaurant experience is selecting an entre. To add to the great start was a warm basket of sliced bread with a grain variety and standard bread slices. No issues with the soup, in fact a little better than most. For soup, I selected the Minestrone cup as an indicator of what might be on the banquet menu as well as on the dining menu. The Bruschetta were eight slices with ample tomato and cheese perfectly sized and tasty. The shrimp were excellent and not deep fried making the breading soft and slightly separate from the shrimp. My choices were the Shrimp Dijon served with grilled shrimp topped with bread crumbs and the Bruschetta. Three standouts are Grilled Eggplant, Roasted Cheese Ravioli and Chicken Quesadillas. There are also Shrimp appetizers, Potato Skins and Stuffed Mushrooms. On the appetizer menu were many of the usual choices including Mozzarella Sticks, Grilled Calamari and Bruschetta. Again something for a wide variety of tastes.
The salads included Chopped Salad, Caesar Salad, Greek Salad, a House Salad, Spinach Salad and an Asian Salad. The variety of special choices on this night was an indicator or what was on the rest of the menu but there is so much more. And the last special was Hungarian Goulash with potato pancakes. The third special was Beef Stroganoff over potato dumplings. A second special was Fettuccini Shrimp and Spinach. They included two types of Pierogi - either sauerkraut or potato. On the night we visited the specials set the pace for what was to come. After all that is what the server speaks about when they hand you a menu. Starting with the menu choices will take some explanation. It is the second location for the owners, with the first on River Road in Schiller Park under the same name.īut with any restaurant the proof is in the menu and service.
