Old Prague is Old News
We took two women who are actually from Czechoslavaki here as a treat, thinking it would be enjoyable for them to eat at a restaurant serving food from their home country. Unfortunatley, Our group of 14 had a terrible experience here. Upon trying to order, the waitress repeatedly told us "Sorry... we're out of that" (referring to entrees, soups and beer selections). The excuse was that the restaurant "opened for the season 3 days ago and we aren't ready yet." It seems to me that this would be an appropriate excuse at the end of the season, not the beginning. There was no children's menu. The waitress said she could bring out some chicken nuggets. Later she came back and said the nuggets were unservable because they had been frozen, thawed, and frozen again, and didn't come out right when cooked! Next she brought out breaded chicken cutlets for the kids that were freezer burned and could not be cut with a knife. When the adult entrees were served, several came out lukewarm. Upon serving one of us a roasted chicken dinner, she said "The chicken will only cost $10.95 because its alot smaller than usual." It seems to me that this should have been told to the customer earlier so he could decide if he wanted to change his order. The chicken paprikash dinner was only so-so (bland and lukewarm)and very overpriced ($13.95). The quality of this dinner was what I might expect at a family diner. The garlic mashed potatos had to be returned as they were highly oversalted. The dinner rolls appeared and tasted to have come out of a plastic bag. The service was terrible. The waitress (who told us she was the owner's girlfriend)was rude and abrupt, as well as sarcastic. She never once apologized for our concerns. The owner refused to come out to speak to our group, despite several requests. The members of our party who were directly from Czechoslovakia wanted to speak to him. Upon completion of this dinner, both of these women were embarrassed that this restaurant represents their home country. Since we were a party of over 6, an automatic 18% tip was added to the bill. Neither the quality of service or food was deserving of this tip. The only bright spot of this meal was the sauerkraut, which was very good, and the pork and sauerkraut dinner which actually had some seasoning.

A well-worn cliche maintains that a good Czech restaurant's fare would impress even a grandmother; at Old Prague, the clientele - mostly silver-haired - attests to the fact. The restaurant and its decor of faux brick walls, twinkling white lights, winding ivy and lazily spinning ceiling fans encourage diners to take their time and enjoy the meal; have a long conversation over a plate of chicken paprikash, Wiener schnitzel or shishki, homemade meatloaf sticks served with a tangy apple mustard. And remember, Grandma wouldn't want you to skip dessert, especially in the form of a heavenly homemade apple strudel.
