Nice little hidden gem of authentic Lithuanian food!
I love how the set up is half cafe/restaurant and the other half like a shop. It’s as authentic European as it gets! Service is always more European style, where there really isn’t a rush to get the food to you in a timely manner as we are accustomed to in America.
I am knocking down one star for a couple of reasons: the waitress completely forget my friends order, making him wait another half hour to get his meal …and when I ordered the tilapia as my main dish, I was led to believe that it was “just a little bit” of cheese. Having bad acid reflux I was disappointed to see the dish was heavy with cheese, leaving me to avoid most of the dish.
Still, the food is unique, delicious and a place I’m willing to go back and give a second try for more authentic homemade Lithuanian dishes - the trip would be worth it just for the beet soup alone!
A blonde lady with glasses was super rude to me when I was telling her the food tasted disgusting. There was hair in my food and they didn't want to refund me. A horrible experience! The food tasted completely frozen and un fresh. DONT SHOP HERE!!! TRULY A DISGUSTING PLACE!
I placed an order for "cheburekas" yesterday and double ask the waitress to make sure it will be  fresh made because i was buying food for  my pregnant friend. Lady on the front the cashier told me it fresh made  and i have nothing to worry .When i got home and open that bag i was in shock, the food that i order was burnt, you can clearly tell that was reheated at least two times maybe even more. It used to be a very nice restaurant but right now i'm very disappointed
Excellent food and good service. Reasonably priced. Atmosphere was a bit much. Kinda like mobster meets Lawrence Welk. Overstuffed high back chairs were very comfortable
5 and well deserved. Ordered Kvas, Pork Cutlets, Pork Shashlik and kids Chix Cutlets. Hidden gem in the area. Classy interior and polite staff. Will be back for sure
I am Lithuanian, eat family prepped Lithuanian food and cook Lithuanian food at home. I've also ordered from all the Lithuanian restos in the area and live very close to Cafe Ruta. I know what Lithuanian food is. The food here has unfortunately gone in the wrong direction. My recent order contained food that was very much overcooked and had to be taken off the table and driven back to be returned. It was that bad. Worse was how they tried to convince us that the food was normal even after we've ordered it many times from them. Sad. That food should never have made it out of the kitchen and she shoukd have just accepted the loss and owned it. It's hit or miss. The kaldunai are always good because they are frozen and boiled to order FYI.
Quaint, lovely restaurant! Delicious breaded pork with salad. Friendly staff. Special Place to share lunch or dinner.
Delicious Baltic dishes. Very good use of mushrooms, beets, and (yum!) pork. Their Siberian dumplings are to die for.
