    We loved this place! It was so perfect and warm on a cold and a gray day. The service was above and beyond. They were warm and friendly and made us feel so welcomed and appreciated. We are vegetarian, and we absolutely loved the options. The vegetarian lobio with pickled veggies paired with a smoked Gouda cheese boat was the best combo ever. We could not have asked for better experience. We visited the sister restaurant in Brooklyn a few years ago and loved that and were equally impressed with the Hell’s Kitchen location.

    This is the place where everybody knows your name even if this is your first visit. A rare place where people go to be with each other, not just eat. There is always life music late at night. Sometimes it is blues, on other days you can catch gypsy performance. On this visit a random walk in from the street treated dinners to a soulful ballad. Great voice. This encouraged one of the dinners to perform a beautiful classic. Also great, professional voice. When we visit New York, we always try to go to Samovar. The food is also great. Try a flight of vodka. It is not very strong and goes done very smoothly.
