Slavic dishes which are outstanding! The sour dough bread is served with spreads and it's soft, tasty, and wonderful! If you're wondering what Slavic food is, think of it as a hybrid between European and Turkish.

Don't let the slipshod appearance of the townhouse and the divey interior fool you. The Belgian mussels and beers are outstanding! The bison burgers are too. As well as the music selection. The interior really does resemble a Belgian pub.
