DO NOT GO HERE. I have never written a review before but I just got back from here and I am so enraged that I feel compelled to. It's true that myself and my fellow diners were tourists, but we made an attempt to at least say hello thank you and please in Czech. We ordered beers and the waitress (more on her later) set them down, then another three glasses saying "aperitif!" We clearly never ordered them. We thought she were being extra nice cuz we were trying not to be too touristy. Later once our food came I saw her come by and sneakily add a "CU X X X" on our bill that's sitting on the table. When time came to ask for our tally a waiter wrote down a bunch of numbers which we asked him to explain. He said blahblah food, 90 CZK for music (there was a guy in the corner playing a sad accordion singing the most depressing music ever...he probably sang only 2 songs whilst we were eating dinner anyway....I mean hold on ok what if a patron was legally deaf? Would he have to pay??), beers, mystery 75 CZK, then 360 for the aperitifs. We started to protest that but then the waitress was passing by and said NO GRATIS or something to that effect then brushed off leaving us with the waiter with whom we had had no contact with before. So we asked him if we could speak to her. A good while later she finally came back and said "there was THIS much in each glass [indicating about an inch or so] how could that be free?" And turned away again. We meanwhile were so shocked that we had not yet even paid the bill yet when she came by with another tray of aperitifs for another unsuspecting table of tourists and said "SEE? So much. Not free". I looked around and noticed that not every table had the aperitif glasses on them, and the ones that did were apparently tourists. We had heard about restaurants really trying to scam tourists but this old hag was a shock to us! I said to to my mates, "well at least I can say we got the you'll czech experience." For all that, the food wasn't even that great, which could have redeemed it a bit. The scam aperitifs ended up being the most expensive things on our bill. When we got up to leave, I saw the waitress was about to come down the aisle but saw us coming that way so she high tailed it to avoid making eye contact with us. Obviously knew she scammed us good. So if you like mediocre food, rude and slow service, and being scammed by a overly-dyed and leather-faced hag with a terrible attitude who makes a big flourish as if she is doing you a huge favor by doing her job poorly, go here. I really wish I had a better venue to complain about this on. We only have 4 days in Prague and have completely wasted one of our dinners here.
