Take with a grain of salt...

The food is actually quite good for the most part although oddly some dishes are quite authentic (I lived

in Russia for 6 years in the 90's so have some exposure) while others seem to have no Eastern

European connection at all. Do NOT go to this restaurant if service is your main focus, you may well

leave in tears. If the menu was more clear cut and the staff could at least pretend they cared, the food and

atmosphere could actually make this place work.

• Pros: food/vodka
• Cons: incredibly horrible service

If you aren't Russian, don't bother!

We had one good experience here, so we went again, and it couldn't have been a worse experience. We even had reservations and we couldn't get seated! No one else was waiting at the host stand and we couldn't get any staff to glance our way. After we got the host's attention and told them we had reservations for two, we literally stood there for over 20 minutes and finally stormed out. It still cost us a few dollars, because my husband had put money in the tip jar at the mandatory coat check and when we retrieved our coats, the jar had already been emptied (go figure!)

We did notice that in the dining room there were some tables being waited on, but all of those customers seemed to be speaking perfect Russian. Guess we didn't get the memo.

• Cons: Terrible Service

It was All Right

Maybe I would of liked this place more if I had been there for the dancing. The drinks were good and the food wasn't so bad. I had chicken and mine was tasty, but some of the other dishes my group had were not so great. I would reccommend that a person tries it at least once.

• Pros: Drinks & Parking
