Had a great dinner here with a close friend. The service was great, from quick seating to getting the food served. The menu is Czech style food with some Swedish traditional options. The schnitzel was great and the gravy for the meat patty dish was excellent. The meal portion with an appetizer left no room for dessert.

If you like Czech food then stop by and grab a bite to eat.

The roasted pork knuckle was very very good in taste. The crust was very crispy and not chewy at all. The meat, dumpling, sauerkraut, and sauce were really good. The potion is very huge so definitely no started needed at all. Even though the garlic bread there taste delicious. Definitely a recommendation
