I had a quiet lunch mid day and will definitely return for the more hearty dinner options. My borscht really exceeded any I’ve had on Eastern European travels. The mushroom ‘dumplings’ very refined and flavorful. Everything is made in-house- I look forward to exploring the many interesting offerings. A nice change from the ubiquitous trendy menus of that neighborhood
