Restaurant Sofa - Lodz

What a deception, what a blow to my expectation. Some people and comments called it "a overtly trendy eatery that gets our thumbs up for not just delivering on the style front, but also on the substance". Well I dont know if they had dinner there lately but it was a complete turn off - no substance and no style.
The food was what I would consider at the limit of acseptable and in some cases not even there and my son, who is not a cook, could have done a better plate presentation that they did, disappointed ooooo YES, very much so.
This small restaurant house hidden in a courtyard off Piotrkowska that was supposed to be a jewel and blow my mind bringing me to a new high was in fact the low point of my evening and frankly it did blow me - but - off.
The service was friendly even if slightly chaotic, the girl did her best. My friend who took me there was apologetic but frankly it was not his fault and maybe the review we read where done few years a go....dont know.
There is nothing I can write that will sound positive, so I will go again one more time, as usual, to give them a chance in the hope to see some improvements, even if I think the kitchen should really be given a RED card.

review Restaurant Anatewka - ul. 6 Sierpnia 2/4- Lodz:

Not much to say frankly, the new Cooks are just out of this world (if they are not new then they have made a great job in renewing them selfs) , the food is just outstanding and the service as friendly as ever. There was a point in time I wondered if they where loosing their shine, but nop, they just had a bad patch and readjusted and moved forwards in a positive way.
The kitchen may seem slow but when you get your food , frankly, there is nothing you can say - you just sit and taste it with a great smile on your face.
I have tried part of the new summer menu, and allowed the cook to choose for me and my guest the dinner to be served and this more then once, and up to now I must say he has done a great job, I have not one complain, not one black spot to write about -mmmmm- what will he do next to surprise me...I wonder...... well do not want to bore you all with my memories of wonderful nights at Anatewka - so yes I am upgrading the food.
