    Excellent experience! Our first time here for the five of us & can’t wait to go back, our food was delicious, our server was from Zakopane, he was adorable! My husband & I had been to Zakopane & we were showing & sharing pictures on our phones with him., It was really fun to talk to him about Poland! We had the best lunch & a great experience at The Highlander Restaurant!
