Located just up the street from The Thai Cafe Damis Cafe is a polish/american restaraunt (but really just polish) that is truly the most bizarre dining experience I have ever had in Greenpoint. Let's start with the blue neon lights that line the windows. They bathe the entire place in a freaky blue glow which is not so becoming to your dining companions (i was on a date). Being bathed in blue light makes you look like death. The mirrors in the back of the place only beam this glow right back up to the front. Next, there are an assortment of fake animals throughout the restaraunt, from elephant and giraffe sculptures in the front to a large stuffed ape that is suspended from one of the back corners in such a way so as to make it appear as if it is leaping into the dining room. Then there are the 'water features' which are not only suspended from the walls (small motor-operated thingies that actually have water in them to form miniature waterfalls, and these are not your 'zen' inspired kinds of devices, these are fake molded plastic water falls) but are also located on the floor in corners to form larger fake-plastic ponds and rocks with falling water. The bar looks like it was dropped from the sky into the place from a restaurant supply mail order catalouge. There is a large flat panel TV kind of near the bar that was tuned to a monster truck exhibition. The music was on random, switching between two CDs: the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack and the Polish classic-rockstar Krzysztof Krawczyk. Then, oh, then - please please order an after dinner coffee and make sure that you use the creamer which is a stretched out porcelain cow and the milk pours out its mouth which makes it appear as though it is vomiting cream into your coffee.

The food is actually decent and not your typical grease-fest that often is the polish fare at other GP polish joints.
