Anna's, Winter Park

I had lunch at this Polish restaurant on Aloma (east of 436) yesterday. I had a mixed mini platter for $10. It consisted of 2 pirogis, half a kielbasa and half a stuffed cabbage. I was musing on Polish jokes (the one about how they lost the recipe for ice) and how I was going to rip the place for it's plastic table cloth, unbused tables, high prices and Americanized lunch menu and then I tasted the food. It was good. The pirogis were filled with flavorful pork (also available two other ways). The kielbasa was grilled nicely. The cabbage was thin and the pork filling was tasty and moist. It came with a mushroom sauce (others available). The kielbasa had a sweet jelly on it. They also serve bread , but, you have to ask. Service was ok. Polite. Informative. It seemed like there was only one cook (Asian) and one waiter. No bus boy. The place seats about thirty in room one and twenty in room two. They have a deli in room two. The menu is smallish and typical. Pickle soup was the one outlier. The place has been there for four years. They seem to have won the Trip Adviser award for 2014. Not sure if it was for all restaurants or just that segment. It would be a stretch if it was for all restaurants. The place was previously a French place and before that Polonia. The main problem it has is that it is closed M, Tu and half Wed. You could do worse. Prices average in the mid to high teens.
