This is a rather touristy restaurant, with higher prices than I would recommend to go for and not a very good service, but their inner yard is really worth seeing. You can have a meal and some nice Czech beer right next to the walls of a very old church, an extremely cool experience. I would suggest sitting in just for a beer, perhaps for some beer food (try the hermelín!), but don't expect a good dinner here.

Sightseeing
you can walk to the old town square within 10 minutes.
tip: if you want to go up to the top of the clock tower, do it close to a full hour - the puppet show of the astronomical clock ('Orloj') starts in every full hour, which means less people on the lookout point and a huge crowd on the street in front of the clock, which gives you more space upstairs and is very funny to see from the height :)

tip: if you would like to enjoy Charles Bridge, go there at night after 9 pm. You will be able to walk in a normal pace, see the statues without a crowd of people trying to touch them, and enjoy the beautifully lit city scene from the bridge. early morning hours are also recommended.
in daytime hours one of the neighbouring bridges may be a better choice to cross the river

The Lucerna passage leading through a beautiful art nouveau building that once belonged to the Havel family is a must see. You will find a fancy cinema in it with a great (but a bit smokey) café, a nice wine bar and a great pub that serves amazing hot chocolates as well, many shops (including one of the best musical instrument second hands), two clubs, and a very funny statue created by artist David Cerny, that in itself is worth going in there!

In the Svetozor passage you will find the Svetozor cinema, which might be interesting for you if you like foreign films - they always have interesting film festivals and regularly air Czech films with English subtitles. Continue along the passage and you will pass Ovocny Svetozor, a confectionary with amazing ice cream, as well as many small shops selling for instance handmade jewellery. In the end of the passage you'll find yourself in a small hidden park which is an island of peace just a few meters away from the buzz of Wenceslas square.
