latkes, borsch, and pierogi.
Latkes and borsch are easy to make and easy to fine-tune the flavors. Pierogi is like a dumpling so judge your own skill level accordingly.

Pierogi definitely there is a lot variaty there, all of them are delicious apart from russian style - which will get me killed cause plenty people love them as well. Get some sweet ones as well.
Bigos screams polish, its not very usual but i take like it most with mashed potates and its perfect.
Potato cakes - i eat them just sprinkled with sugar, but those are often served with sour cream which is okay but worse imo.
There is a huge variaty of soups, barszcz is probably the most sterotypical polish. Barszcz is often ate with pierogi (cabbage and mushroom usually). Apart from that you might want to try żurek for something new as well.
Zapiekanka is a bit like a bread pizza its usually very good but not something you would probably be offered in a Restaurant.
Herrings. Milion dishes and ways we serve it. Worth a try but those can be very hit or miss.
Schabowy z kością - pork loin with the bone. My favourite traditional meat. Plain but delicious.
Gołąbki - cabbage rolls. I love them with mashed potatoes as well, which gives me some crazy looks in some regions, but thats the default from the region im from lol.
Thats a start. If the Restaurant has a menu online then send it over i can glipse through it. We have plenty of variaty of dishes but nothing universally known appart from pierogi so the restuarants can differ quite a bit from each other. Some May be going more mushrooms, venisons and other into regional things like herring soups and herring in all styles etc.
You need to drink vodka as well, lots.

Menu is getting a bit corrupted on my phone but the sample platter sounds quite alright, not sure on the portion but if it wont be large then you can go for the pork after. I think they serve two types of pierogi the russian style (potate cheese) and cabbage mushroom. I dont particularly like the 1st one but like i said plenty of people love them so i guess depends on the person. Hope you will enjoy.https://www.atouchofeuropeancafe.com/menu/

My fantasy is that my girlfriend was actually a young high school girl.
Sorry to hear about your gramps. This year is like 10 years of crap rolled into one. I keep on saying next year should be 2031.
You have a lot of Polish places in the area! Just ask the manager for their recommendation... Hopefully they are Polish.
Definately sausages. Pickled herrings (nice with Vodka). Pierogi. Cabbage rolls. And Panczki for something sweet.

No, Norwegian canceled our cruise until next year. We were going to go to Mexican Riviera instead, but now they canceled all cruises in October and November. My dad still wants to do something in Mexico. probably going to Cancun again, but not sure if i'm going to join them.
Think i'm going to wait until this pandemic is over next year and do a Mediterranean vacation
Want to see Greece, Turkey and Israel myself.And thank everyone for the replies! The place i'm going to has a sampler platter: 3Pc of pierogi, 1-cabbage roll, scoop of hunter stew, and 1-pc of homemade fresh kielbasa. So i think i'll give that or the BYOB a try.

Everyone will say pierogi, because that's the most stereotypical thing you can get. 
Try żurek in a bread bowl if you can get your hands on it. Barszcz is just plain. Unless we talk about Ukrainian barszcz. That is stuffed like our żurek.
Or sour cucumber soup. Or sour cabbage soup. Damn we've got a lot of sour shit
