Old Krakow

Description:

• This may be the only strictly Polish restaurant in the Bay Area and the huge red awnings that float over the sidewalk in front of this place, seem to proclaim that there is probably more than a little pride in that. Inside, intense but beautiful Polish art is the decoration of choice and the crowd is a mix of Polish-Americans and others who appreciate a solid meal. The cuisine is hearty and flavorful featuring substantial stews, Meat Dumplings and Stuffed Cabbage served with sides of mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. The wine list is not great, but the Polish beer makes a great complement to the menu. The desserts, if you still have room, include the Polish version of cheesecake and a mile-high apple cake that is more juicy cinnamon fruit than cake. The service is great from a wait staff that has been with the place for years.
