Bad: This is the second time I visited Rodina and the second time I was very disappointed by the main course. I ordered a pasta with wildboar sauce dish (forgot the name) which was so extremely salty I have no idea how anyone can serve it. I mentioned that to theserver, she said she will mention it to the chef and that is all they did about it. Pretty dissatisfied with that part, but atleast the appetizers and drinks were delicious. Everybody else in our party were satisfied with the food, so it's a hit or miss.I would come back for happy hour and appetizers, but never again for dinner.

It was a much more watery version closer to a soup, and had difficult holding flavor beyond light tomato. Thepeppers were strips about 5 inches long, which was a little less than ideal. I ordered a corpse reviver number two, but couldn'tsmell or taste any absinthe.
