Editorial Review for Moscow on the Hill – by Donna Tabbert Long
In Short
Across the street from romantic W.A. Frost & Co., this place evokes the romance shared between friends during an evening of food, drink and song. Shawl-draped light fixtures, cozy tables and Russian bric-a-brac create a warm mood, and the house accordion player will have you singing along. Russian immigrants Marina and Naum Liberman offer steaming bowls of borscht, warm blini with caviar and entrees like filet mignon-loaded stroganoff or dumplings stuffed with beef and pork.

Insider Tips
Where to SitAsk for a table in the original dining area (where the bar is). Even if you're seated by the kitchen door, it's fun: You may catch serious-faced servers grabbing a dance in the tiny kitchen. The newer expansion feels like a banquet room.
What to DrinkDozens of vodka varieties are featured here, including the restaurant's signature smooth, sweet cherry vodka.

Moscow on the hill is a great restaurant for a date or just a night out with some friends. very warm and exciting atmosphere or you can request tables where you are more secluded for a romantic evening. The waiters are all really great and the bussers work harder at this restaurant than anywhere else. i definitly reccomend going and tell your friends to.
Pros: there are reservations.. everything was great
Cons: none

My spouse, child and I ate here on a Friday night, it was nearly full at 7:30pm, however we were served quickly and received our food promptly as well. The staff was wonderful, polite, helpful and patient. As it was spring, we sat on the small patio in the back and the atmosphere was wonderful. I would have been just as happy sitting inside as the dining room was well decorated and pleasant. We had appetizers or escargo, blini and borscht, all were fabulous. My daughter and I had both the siberian and peasant style pelmeni which were even better. My hubby had the walleye, one of the dishes on the menu which aren't really Russian, but it was great too!! There was a excellent selection of vodka, but I went with the Baltika and my husband had his standard Irish Guiness. The only disappointment for me was that alth9ough there was a great selection of wine, there was no Crimnian or Georgian wines, which I would have preferred over the Baltika. But, this restaurant was awesome, I will definitely go again!!
Pros: Awesome Food, Great Service
Cons: No Slavic Wines on the Wine List.
