Amazing Eastern European food. The staff was super friendly and helpful explaining the different dishes. Will be sure to return next time I am in

Always outstanding time after time! We can't wait to come back again soon. The Menu, service, and ambiance are all wonderful.

DELICIOUS food and good service. Old world atmosphere. The food was truly superb, freshly made and quality ingredients. Enjoyed my experience and will certainly be back when I can.

Strong cocktails, excellent food, impeccable service. I couldn't believe we were the only diners on a Friday night, because this place is amazing.

An erstwhile institution that has never let us down.

First the good points. The food was very good. Their bread was delicious. My wife loved the Beef & Cheese Burek. My chicken dumpling soup was only luke warm but good. My Veal Provence was very good. The problem was after we placed our order. Our waitress ( or maybe she was the hostess since she dressed so elegantly) did not follow up with us, so the owner worked hard to get us our drinks & meals.I realize they were busy but the three helpers need to work with the ownerso that the patrons get at least bread, water, drinks, soup & salad in a steady flow. This occupies the patrons while the cooks work on their dinners.Parking: We came at 5PM so it was pretty crowded in back lot.

Not a place to rush in and out, worth it if you want to slow down, and you like an old school ambiance that doesn't try too hard, and you want slow cooked food. They definitely need help during busy seasons --or just not take in too many reservations than they can handle. That said, we prefer this place to the other Serbian place, and with all the chaos and imperfections, we return again and again. I love the liver and stuffed cabbage --others rave on about the burek and chicken dishes.

We got a "take and bake" burek, and it was delicious, just as we had enjoyed in the restaurant many times in the past.

We used to dine here years ago when we lived in Milwaukee. In town briefly and decided to revisit. Still wonderful old school atmosphere. Food was great. The Burek alone is worth the trip.

At restaurant as I write this. Been here for an hour and a half on a slow Sunday evening. Still no food. Never again.

We had a party of 3 for Thanksgiving Day. Upon entering, we all noticed that the hostess had an attitude and the place was dirty and dated. Later, noticed that the bathroom was also dirty. We all ordered the turkey dinner. Our waitress was clueless about the desserts. Two of us ordered the strudel. They charged $10 we could hardly even cut through the crust. HorriblFlaky Apple Strudele. All 3 of us got sick about the same time, about 12 hours later, we think from the turkey. We emailed them, and they said we were the only ones to complain. None of us will ever set foot in there again!!!

Cheese Burek is excellent! We also had goulash (delicious, but cold. ) , Veal Provance, good but cold. Their soup, mashed potatoes, sides ALL cold. Not room temp, actually chilled. Drinks are horribly expensive and weak. Hi-ball in a very small glass $12. Glass of soda $8. Not acceptable.
