Cafe Prague

I had gone to Cafe Prague with my sister a little over two months ago, mostly because it's within walking distance from my home, and honestly I haven't gone since. Not that it's anything personal, I just really wasn't impressed.
Upon entering, we were met with a stuffy stench that was literally unbearable. It was an incredibly warm, breezy, and pleasant day outside, and yet nobody found it necessary to let a little air in? There were these wide dusty sofas indoors, with tiny Ikea-style side tables, and TV's everywhere, which gave the impression of a somewhat dark gloomy living room, and made eating or drinking anything without holding it consistently in your lap impossible. We quickly decided to sit outdoors, by one of the metal tables under a parasol. Getting in and out of our chairs was quite a challenge though, considering that there was literally no walking space between the tables, and we were forced to push and slide through. Still, it was much better than the heavy living room atmosphere.
Service... I don't really know how to classify the service we've received. The girls who work there seemed nice and polite, although not genuinely so, with a sort of smirk and attitude about them. And I'm guessing this place is geared specifically towards men, because both my sister and I received a full view of the waitresses busts and bottoms every time they leaned over us to serve us or pick something up. I felt pretty bad for them, because besides the fact that they were almost half-naked, they also had to move about on sky-high heels, balancing those cappuccinos, beers, etc. as they barely wobbled along... It was a miserable view.
As for the rest... I had a cappuccino or latte, or something of that sort, which really did not taste like anything special. It was just... mehhh. As for the dessert, I remember it was called Raspberry Surprise, and it definitely was a surprise... In a bad sense. At first it looked impressive, served in a martini glass, topped with a mint leaf and all... But upon closer inspection, I noticed that it was just a tiny bit of vanilla ice cream, topped with still frozen raspberries, you know, the type you can buy at the supermarket, and absolutely smothered with heavy whipped cream. All for $10. If I wanted to stuff myself with half a can of whipped cream, I'd get it at the store, and for a lot less than that.
I remember I didn't feel good for the rest of that day. There was some kind of a slight revolution going on in my stomach, and I haven't gone back since.
I pinpointed the aspects that I remember the most, that were embedded in my memory. And every time I think of Cafe Prague, my stomach turns and... I'm not going back there any time soon, not until this nausea goes away.

As good as it gets!

I was born in the Czech Republic and I do know what traditional czech food and a beer should taste like. You got it. Exactly like that. You go there because you have a taste for it or you'd like to try something for you original and for that country traditional.  Since the menu doesn't have 10 pages what is on the menu is actually really good. For prices and the menu you can always go to their website.
By the way the girls there are truly beautiful, always smiling, and always friendly. Service is as good as it can get.

For the Czechs, you may be surprised to hear more polish than czech. For Americans, you probably do not care since you may not be able to distinguish between czech and polish anyway. Like if that mattered.

You may also be lucky to run into live music during the weekends. I wish they had it posted on their website. They may if it is something more important. I am not sure.

The setup and design of the place is rather unique. On your right will be a restaurant part and on your left a lounge with big sofas and armchairs. Farther in more tables in the middle are separating the bar area from the dance floor.

I live closer to the downtown than to that area so I do not go there that often. On the other hand I have never been disappointed over those years. So for me five stars.

Went in, not knowing what to expect.  The Czech places that I'm accustomed to had  retirement-home clientele, old dated interior, and big portioned meals that were cheap.  Cafe Prague isn't one of those places.

Inside was anything but dated, had the exposed brick thing going, which made the interior look modern.  The set-up was different as it looked like it was half restaurant/dance club.  The constant loud trance music was a bit much, especially for 3:30 on a Thursday, which felt like walking into a trendy salon.  

Had my heart set on the beef goulash but the barmaid said that they didn't have any and she said in a cute and enthusiastic heavy eastern European accent to not go without trying one of her homeland favorites, either the Moravian Pork or the Czech Roast Beef in Creamy Sauce.  Hungry and enjoyed hearing that accent, I decided with the Czech roast beef in creamy sauce.  

The few slices of roast beef with bread dumplings covered in some type of yellow gravy didn't look appetizing at first, but the sauce was pretty tasty, had a definite sour cream taste to it.  Roast beef had zero fat on it and was very good.  The sliced bread dumplings had pieces of bacon inside.  

The lady there was nice and very pretty, but expect to feel a little out of place if you don't speak Polish.  3.5 stars
