Best food, best friendly service...

I have been to this place few times since it was opened. It was different every time, depending on the cook. Last time i was there on memorial day and it was the best. It was 4 of us and we ordered 6 salads and appetizers, no main course. All of them were amazing. I am planning to make a reservation there for my birthday party.

Beautiful interior design. Decent background music (quiet enough to talk and loud enough to brighten the conversation). Depends on how many bottles of alcohol you intend on bringing. Being able to bring your own/BYOB.Staff is professional, pleasant looking and are there to guide you through each dish, like a coach.And finally - the food: if you like modern&classical "Russian-American-Soviet cuisine" with a WIDE variety of meats, animals and body parts (from duck liver to steak, seafood and) shish kebobs etc etc), you'll find something that makes you salivate and other plates where you're not curious enough to try.I personally don't like "Russian-esque" cuisine...it did evolve for the better over the decades and included influences from other countries like France, Turkey, and USA etc. I'm not a fan of all the meat variety..I either don't know what it is, don't understand it or prefer to wait until the good stuff comes out.The secret to these places (if you want to take a relative there for their birthday or something) is that if you're not planning on stuffing yourself just find out there's another round of entres waiting for your plate to be replaced with a steak...so, what I usually do is just not eat (or SNACK on a salad) until the best stuff comes out..that's when I go in like its a hotdog eating contest!

Shmulik schnitzel is the best. Ask for it with Israeli salad even if the waitress said it’s not on the menu - just insist.

The food is fresh and pretty delicious. I enjoyed the service as much as the atmosphere.

Wow, Wow …. It’s been a long time since We’ve seen such level of service and food preparation. The freshest and absolutely delicious banquet menu. Our party left fuller than full and exceptionally happy. The service was to notch and so attentive. Thank you for making our celebration so perfect.

Thank you Slava for a very nice brunch. Food was delicious and the staff made sure we were comfortably seated and taking care of. Definitely coming back for more. Highly recommended.

Clean, wonderful staff and delicious food, not too pricey.

Great service. But food is mediocre although portions are big. Went there for dinner

Terrible service. Waters demanding 20% tips
