Got to go to one of our favorite restaurants to make 20 years with my favorite person, whats not to love? The food is great and its the kind of thing you don't want to make at home, the wine is solid (and the cocktails!), even on a night when they were short-staffed the service was very good (they must have had a call out), you get that incredible garlic paste with hot bread, theres just no reason not to check this off-the-beaten-path gem out.

Amazing atmosphere, great selection of local and Czech food, and welcoming staff members. Some waitresses were not as knowledgeable about the food ingredients and beverage as I would expect. Overall, we had a good time and we would come back again.
