    Delightful! We reserved a table on the advice of friend and we’re not disappointed. The experience was lovely. Our waiter was extremely competent, the sommelier was knowledgeable, and both the food and wine were above our expectations. Happy holidays to all!

    Great ambiance, delicious food experience, great service. The borscht soup was very tasty. The herring and cured beef appetizers were of big portions. Babushka salad was good, a bit too much sour cream for my taste but still good. The beef stroganoff was the highlight of the evening. We ordered everything for the table and shared. They have a good selection of vodkas, infused vodkas, and cocktails. Their bread is very good as well. I recommend finishing with tea which comes with cherry preserves.
