In search of a unique ethnic dining experience, my partner and I found Old Lviv and were very grateful that we did.  The establishment is small, but quaint and cozy, creating  it's uniquely charming atmosphere.   My partner, who has traveled extensively throughout Eastern Europe and the Ukraine, was very impressed with the authenticity of the foods we sampled from their buffet.  Both of us found the food to be very tasty and certainly fresh as it was delivered to the buffet line when finished in the small kitchen run by family.  The buffet consisted of a generous assortment of meats, fish, vegetables, and salads made in house from old family recipes.  The deserts were equally as delectable and plentiful.  Beverage choices of  Ukrainian beer and German Riesling wine complimented our dinner nicely.   Our waiter was extremely helpful, courteous, and attentive. We were thoroughly delighted with our experience at Old Lviv.  Although we live a several hours away, I'd say we're likely to visit again when in Chicago. Â
While this establishment is not fancy, it guarantees something significantly more important, genuinely good food served with a genuine smile.
