Old Vilnius - Lithuanian - Darien

4 of us dined at Old Vilnius last night, OV is a sister restaurant of Grand Dukes in Summit ( viewtopic.php?f=14&t=11245 )

The atmosphere isn't a cool as Dukes is but the food delivered.

Starter of Siberian dumplings w/pork, served with bacon bits & sour cream were quite flavorful & moist.

I had the lamb stew and was very pleased, pieces of lamb cooked with tomatoes, carrots, eggplant, potatoes and red pepper. At first glance the stew looked very watery, but that liquid was delicious, full of flavor.

Švyturys beer on tap served in chilled mugs.

Only downside was the waitstaff was overwhelmed and service lagged severely at points. I personally don't think they were prepared for a weekday night where every table in the restaurant was filled.
