    The drinks and food are consistently awesome. The food is high quality and a real taste of Eastern European food. The service has always been great. We travel from Wisconsin to here often, a must try if you’re anywhere close to.

    Cafe Dacha doesn't disappoint - always delicious food, outstanding service and beautiful outdoor setting. Follow-ups before the party as to our food and setting preferences were greatly appreciated as well. Will definitely come back again and again.

    I rarely give full top points or star ratings in any reviews. Almost always save a star because don’t want to rate all the good places as the absolute best. This place gets my highest ratings. The welcome greeting. The ambiance. The servor. The food. And this place takes you right to eastern europe. Right to Czech or Ukraine - places i have spent a lot of time.

    Almost impossible to tell the difference between two of the appetizers--pierogies and dumplings. Both are presented in the same runny sauce and taste the same and both were average. The borscht soup was mediocre at best.
