I
have
now
eaten
at
the
Polka
restaurant
twice,
and
it
has
been
quite
pleasant.
The
service
is
friendly
and
polite,
and
the
cuisine
is
authentic
and
enjoyable
-
the
soups
are
particularly
good.
Some
of
the
other
reviewers
complained
that
the
prices
were
high,
but
I
would
have
to
disagree.
They
seemed
quite
in
line
with
other
contemporary
restaurants,
and,
in
Troy
(where
rents
are
higher),
reasonable.
Most
customers
are
probably
used
to
patronizing
Polish
restaurants
in
burned-out
areas
in
"the
hood"
where
restaurants,
as
well
as
they,
are
cheap.
Too
bad
The
Polka
is
a
long
way
from
where
I
live,
otherwise
I
would
come
often.
UPDATE:
I
am
updating
this
review
because
of
my
last
visit,
removing
two
stars
due
to
substandard
service.
First
of
all,
I
point
out
that
the
food
was
good,
but
we
had
to
wait
a
lot
between
various
points.
For
example,
to
place
our
order,
we
waited
about
15
minutes
before
we
even
talked
to
our
server
-
and
the
place
wasn't
even
that
busy;
waited
a
long
time
for
any
food
(bread
bowl),
and
a
long
wait
for
the
check,
which
we
had
to
flag
her
down.
Also,
we
were
entertaining
an
elderly
gentleman,
and
he
assumed
that
he
ordered
a
lunch
version
(it
was
1:30
p.m.)
,
but
what
he
got
was
the
dinner
version,
much
bigger
and
more
expensive
(of
course).
He
was
too
embarrassed
to
say
something,
and
we
figured
that
we
would,
again,
have
to
wait
a
long
time
until
it
would've
been
rectified
(getting
her
attention,
explaining,
etc.).
If
our
server
was
unsure
what
version
of
a
meal
was
ordered,
she
should
ask:
"is
this
the
lunch
or
dinner
version?"
And
if
anything
was
to
be
assumed,
it
should
have
been
thought
of
as
lunch,
again,
it
was
1:30.
The
prices
have
gone
up
since
our
last
visit,
and
I
no
longer
can
defend
it,
as
in
my
original
review.
At
these
prices,
service
should
be
near
perfect.
We
won't
be
back.
