"Iv been craving eastern European food for a while and this place really hit the spot. I work nearby and convinced the wife to meet up with me at the presidio and head over. Its a small cozy spot and the owner was our host and waiter and set us up at a window full of succulents. He was friendly and knowledgeable and recommended us some freshly made latkes that sounded good but I had some stuff in mind I wanted the wife to try. We ended up getting the herring appetizer, a cup of borscht, cabbage rolls, and a pork schnitzel. Everything was super fresh and perfectly executed. Fresh tender pickled herring with onions, olives, and rye, a warm cup of favorful borscht for these cold days, delicious rice and beef stuffed cabbage rolls that we opted for a creamy mushroom sauce with instead of the usual tomato sauce, and a massive crispy fried pork schnitzel. We both came hungry and ended up with enough leftover for a late night snack later but alas not room to try the dessert. Great food, service, and overall experience. Sadly the owner mentioned the future being uncertain due to a greedy landlord(my landlords cool thankfully but Mao was right about most of them) and other issues plaguing the industry and city atm so come out and support this place while you can and while it counts."
