Prague and Budapest
Cafe Kor turned out to be highly disappointing. Food was mediocire at best. Service rushed. Had to turn the goose liver special back, too tough. steamed veal was "tough" and barefly edible. Duck breast overcooked. Salads turned out well.
Prague and Budapest
I posted on prague in another post, and basically I wasn't very impressed.
In Budapest now, and very surprised at the quality. Ate at csalogany 26 and it was excellent in service and food. Food was inventive without being crazy. Foie gras was perfect. Duck nearly perfect, and trout excellent. Salmon ok, and the turbot standard. Cold soup was excellent. Chef clearly applying advanced techniques like sous vide to complete the foie gras. There is simply no other way for them to make a duck liver so evently cooked without it.
Service wonderful, and suggested wine pairings were very good.
Check chew.hu for reviews. Seems like good service, especially when coupled to caboodle.hu.
Looking to go to cafe Kor.

Ended up at Patriot-X. Food was OK, but wasn't as good as expected. Barely good enough to justify their prices. The whole experience felt a bit disney because they had prices next to the paintings.
Service was mediocre, but reasonably competent. Just weren't around when expected.

In prague right now, would like to hear of any recent "finds". Looking for the best food in prague, same as original post: local specialities, local places. So far, searching chowhound, it seems to be:
http://www.upetrskeveze.cz/ -good lcoation, pretty nice
http://www.ladegustation.cz/ -super high end, seems overly pricey
http://www.cernykohout.cz/ -maybe best
