It's been a while, and for that I apologize, but we are back in the swing of things!
This week's(?) entry deals with Eva's European Sweets. This is a smallish restaurant located in Solvay, NY specializing in Eastern European dinners and desserts.
My notes, at this point are a year old and reading them over seems....well, odd at best, I'm not sure, for example, what the "soup" I ordered was, but I think it was chicken? Maybe?
Anyhow.
I sat in a corner (always a good choice - no one can sneak up on you!) on a day when there was medium crowd. The restaurant was not packed, but I was far from the only one there. All in all, it was a decent noise level - if a place is too tomb-like it is unpleasant, but if it is too loud, the ol' appetite decreases.
As a starter, I had soup - home made chicken - it had a nice lemony underflavor, and the pieces were almost large enough to need a fork and knife (I managed with just a fork, but only because I eat my food like a barbarian). At this point I have a note. An odd note, and because I am almost as dumb as I look, without any kind of explanation - "waitress was discussing cannibalism". I think it was something to do with Walking Dead, but am nowhere near sure on that.
My lunch was galumkis. For those not in the know, a galumki is a blend of rice and hamburger lightly seasoned and wrapped in a cabbage leaf. The whole magilla is then stewed in a tomato sauce and it. Is. Amazing!
It is also crazy filling. Like - crazy filling. You can order three or five as a meal here. I would say that three would fill all but your hungriest of diners - especially with any kind of appetizer or dessert. Five is great for two people or for a group who all wants to try some of everything....but for one person it would just be too much.
As a last couple of notes, they have an extensive beer list - almost all European, but because of work and driving, completely untouched. One of these days though....additionally there are many, many homemade desserts...everything from cheesecakes to cookies to baklava, and they are all out of this world!
