Best Restaurants for People Watching in Albany Park

This was very nice and such a great idea perfect for family time

Our first time dining at a Ukranian restaurant although a guest will be familiar with some of the foods from other eastern European countries. The cocktails were creative but not overwhelming, however, the variety of "infusions" (vodka infused with herbs or fruit) was great and fun. Enjoyed the horseradish infusion to sip on during much of the meal, and a cherry infusion later. It's easy to share all of the courses. The appetizers are shown to guests on a cart. The roe tart was very tasty as was the egg with tarragon mayo and sardine. We also had a bread basket, fresh pickles and rolled eggplant. One could make a meal of an infusion and a variety of apps. A highlight was the duck, borsch soup with a side of garlic rolls. We subsequently enjoyed a creamy lasagna-like dish, side of kasha and potato pancakes. For dessert, we enjoyed a yummy multi-layer spice cake. Service was good although not flawless - and did not prevent us from having a great meal.

Outstanding food and service. The menu is much more interesting than the typical Italian restaurant. We’ll be back!

Excellent food and great ambience. Service was a little on the slow side particularly since it was not busy. However, we were just hanging out, so it wasn't really an issue. Highly recommended.

Great friendly service that made my birthday celebration feel special. Mescal margaritas are the best. Tuna poke tacos are delicious.
