Editorial Review for Warszawa Restaurant – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This century-old Craftsman house has been transformed into an elegant Eastern European restaurant with vintage Polish posters, crisp white tablecloths and knowledgeable servers. Lively clientele fills the dining room with the buzz of conversation. Warszawa boasts an menu of authentic, high-end--but reasonably priced--Polish cuisine. Bacon-wrapped dried plums present an offbeat starter, and the traditional borscht, spiked with kielbasa sausage, exudes extra flavor. Pierogies come in a wide variety, including beef, chicken, wild mushroom and lamb.

1. waiter was drunk. he looked and acted like santa claus after a divorce court. 2. he dropped our entrees on the table, porcelin flew everywhere, and stumble away, leaving us with strogonoff a la internal bleeding. 3. huge polish woman came over and complain about a small tip, we also had to shut down drunk st.nick to have a conversation. 4. having listen to mr.claus/waiter complain about about how mean we are after eating his signature dish of porcelin shards over crepe and salmon and giving a low tip. 5. left the gulag finally, with a bad taste of fine china and bad attitude. and we were taking a friend to this hole in the wall for her birthday. thanks Warzawa! you turn us off polish couisine and polish attitude forever!

My boyfriend is from Poland and I decided to treat him to this restaurant. We loved Polka and had heard to try this place out too. I don't know if was the dishes we ordered (me: pierogies, him: bigos) but, the portions were tiny! We don't even eat a lot and we were still hungry! It's on the pricey side too for what you get. We won't go back and plan to go to Polka instead. The only upside is I heard that the outside area can be nice in the summer.
Pros: the ambience
Cons: small portions, over-priced
