Loved this place so much! All the food was fantastic and the Russian Karaoke was fantastic plus the dancing was really fun to watch. It’s a lovely community of people with fabulous food, beverages, and delectable dessert. We will definitely go back many times in the future.

Great food in a newly decorated beautiful restaurant. Everything was great. Chicken Kiev was exceptional, crispy breading (light) with lots of butter inside. Perfectly made

The place itself is nothing to write home about. It is dark with very modest decor. The server was very attentive and helpful since it was our first time eating Russian food. The vodka shots were tasty, but they ran out of the one we liked the most after two shots (jalapeño and honey). The appetizers were very tasty and the Borscht was very good too. We ordered two main courses (the chicken skewer and the sturgeon), but they were very bland, not worth the effort. We were not offered desserts, so we don’t know if there are even any. At some point a big party came and sat at the table next to ours and then is when the really loud music and flashing lights that blinded us began, which made having a conversation almost impossible. As an American with no experience in Russian or Eastern European cuisine, my opinion is that it is a decent place for appetizers and a couple of shots of diluted vodka. However, the only other table we saw during the 3 hours we were there on a Saturday evening, was this huge party of Russians or Eastern European people and a party that was going on in the opposite section of the restaurant, which may be an indicator of the authenticity of the cuisine and a place only for people that truly know and appreciate this food.
