Absolute delight. The food is exquisite, service is top-level, and the restaurant itself is somewhere you can discuss, kind of a mix between classic and lounge vibes. It has been a pleasure to discover this place. Thank you.

Overall, Opasły Tom delivers a complete story - from the remarkable design, through flawless service, to unforgettable flavors. It’s not just a dinner, it’s a journey. Truly a 5-star destination that I would highly recommend and can’t wait to visit again.
The food was great, very nice ambience with an eye for detail. There were two of us on date night. We are very spoilt when it comes to food and regularly eat in restaurants with 1-2 stars in the Michelin Guide. The courses were beautifully presented and tasted good. However, a member of staff was called in as a "sommelier" and recommended a rosé wine to accompany the menu. It went surprisingly well, but he couldn't tell us much about the wine, except that it was specially bottled for the restaurant. That's not enough for us. At dinner, some courses were not quite well matched, instead of a runny egg in the centre of a ravioli, sweet potato was used, which didn't go well with the winter truffle. Our water bottle "disappeared" after the first glass and the service was also very slow, we were always served by different waiters, in the end by the "sommelier". We waited just under an hour for the first course, we were there for a total of 3.5 hours and it felt like we had to wait too long. It was explained to us that there was a lot going on and we also found good compensation for the mistakes that happened during the evening. All in all, we would give the restaurant a second chance and come back again, but it's a little short of the top level at the moment.
Simply outstanding place - elegant but cozy venue and friendly and professional staff. Food - from heaven, creativity is in but is not taking over the taste. We asked for food and drinks pairing - awesome experience (also non alcoholic one!). Highly recommended!
