    The good selections are very wide ranging with foods inspired by many culinary influences. I had the Rye Pirogi and the eggplant appetizer. Both were very tasty, except the onions on the Pirogi were not cut as thinly as a previous time I ate this dish and it made a difference. Definitely thin is the way to go. Service is impeccable and they also have yummy drinks.

    We had an excellent experience at The Prado! The food presentation, flavors, and timing were all perfect. Our server was pleasant, professional, and friendly in a respectful way. The atmosphere is warm, and enchanting. We are very much looking forward to ding there again. We were in the dining room on this occasion, but I have previously experienced their outdoor patio, and their bar area as well. Each and every time have all been very enjoyable experiences! Thank you Prado

    The food, as always, was really great and they had gluten free and vegetarian options for those in our party needing it. This visit, our server did not return to our table to check on us until we were almost done eating and we needed water, drink refills, and condiments. Also for happy hour, you have to ask what they offer and they don't share a menu or offer up the deals even if you order the eligible items.
