We visited Vilnius last year and had a great time and enjoy the food, especially zeppelin at old town.
Hope AA have a good fare going to ORD, so I could join you guys. ^

Sign me up! Been looking for a good Lithuanian place since my former favorite closed a few years ago.

Count me in too. Looks like I will have to use the Waze app to get fastest directions during rush hour. Looks like a good place. Willie do you plan on doing family meal again? I'm sure your friend would know what dishes to choose from.

As the date gets closer, I'll ask that question of the FTers who are planning to attend. After looking at menu, I'm likely going to order the lamb stew or beef tongue and not too many I know enjoy lamb or tongue.

What I would see is ordering some entrees as dishes to share as sides, such as the Goulash, potato pancakes, &/or zeppelins.

Of course the fried bread w/cheese should be ordered to share.
