Sense Cafe

One of the most popular places in the whole of Warsaw, Sense Cafe is still basking in the glory of being the city's first fusion restaurant. And why not? The mix of Asian and European cuisine rarely falls short of fantastic, the decor is modern and unpretentious, and the charismatic waitresses deliver your drinks on cue, whilst bravely dealing with your persistent flirting. What's more, some smart alec in charge of the menu has cleverly replaced boring subtitles such as 'side-dishes' and 'hot dishes' with racy names like 'brief affairs' and 'hardcore'. Which means you can legitimately suggest to your fellow diners skipping 'foreplay', and getting straight to 'wet' and 'wild'...

"Sense has a very loyal following. In all my years of regular patronage, I have never been overcharged. In fact, I have been the recipient of many a free drink. I also witnessed the events described below. A very drunk American indeed ordered a BOTTLE of wine, which the bartender presented and then opened. It was the same wine the guy's boss and his friend had been drinking all night, and the drunk American even conferred with his boss's friend before ordering. The entire party was too drunk (or tired, or whatever) to finish the bottle, and so the American guy proceeded to sneak out of Sense with what remained. Well, he got caught, and his boss ended up having to pay. So This story really looks more like a way of saving face than an accurate restaurant review. Sense is great. The Financial Times Only Place to Eat In Warsaw, Lonely Planet's top pick of rstaurants in Warsaw, The Warsaw Insider's Best Restaurant in Warsaw. Do not believe the sob story of drunk American."

"BUYER BEWARE! This restaurant will add "unknown" items to your bill if you sit at the bar. Ray the owner, is a great guy, but when he's not there you're shit out of luck with all the other managers if you need help sorting this out. I have a very strong feeling there's a little scamming going on with the bartenders. I probably will never return there. "

"whatever you do...don't go to sense. The description above couldn't be farther from the truth. NO GIRLS EVER. no female staff or patrons. Just a bunch of stuffy old expats. Two times I have been there they overcharged me. The first time was extra items on our bill that we all know we didn't eat or drink. They refused to remove it from the bill. I stupidly went back again and this time my friend ordered a GLASS of wine and they brought him the bottle...opened. Then they refused to let us go without paying for the whole thing. First of all, they should have opened this bottle in our presence. Secondly, they should have simply recorked the bottle and served my friend a glass of wine like he ordered. The manager even threatened to call the police if we didn't pay. I responded with "Go ahead, call them. I bet they can't get here before I can knock some SENSE into you." The worst place in warsaw to be overcharged for second rate food in a third rate atmosphere."

"Unlike their description, there are no girls 'bravely' doing anything. They are all fat and ugly. And an all male bar staff with attitude. Rather boring place to be in the summer."

"food is okay, better than most in Warsaw, but nothing to write home about. Bar staff is a bunch of guys with no personality. Why they don't hire a few cute girls, I'll never know. Sat at the bar a few times and have to say there is actually no place to sit because they have 20 chairs crammed into an area that should only fit 15. "
