Even so, this nautical-themed restaurant hit the spot with this pair of lightly breaded, fried, meat-filled crepes ($5.50), accompanied by a cup of red borscht. Bigos ($9.75), sauerkraut and chopped kielbasa "slowly simmered with a hint of dried fruit, wild mushrooms and herbs," needed another hint. Still, it was zippier than the meat-stuffed pierogi with melted butter ($6.50); they're probably better with the sauteed onions. Walnut cake ($5.50) was worthy of a second slice, to take home.
