We ordered the svickova and the beef goulash, and both were amazing. The bread dumplings were among the best I've ever tasted (I hear they sell them by the loaf too). Along with the wonderful food, the service was top-notch and very friendly. Our waitress truly went above and beyond to ensure we had a great time.

Both my friend and I loved the food and we ordered different entrees. We did split some of the sides. She loved the alcoholic beverage.

The service was excellent, always present when you needed something without being obtrusive. The ambience wasn't the best for a conversation.

I wasn’t able to take him back to the homeland for his milestone, but having him visit me in Chicago for a few days was the next best thing. Our server treated him like a rockstar. We got a free round of Becherovka shots with our apple streudel dessert, and they brought it out with a giant birthday candle and the Happy Birthday song playing. He was delighted! Our meal of traditional roast duck, sauerkraut and bread dumplings was spot-on — just like my grandmothers used to make! Thank you for a beautiful, memorable evening neither my Dad nor I will forget!
