Scott LustigJune 14, 2015Really unique take on traditional Russian food with a slight twist. I love the пельмени (Russian dumplings) and the beef stroganoff. Try the salo (cured pork fat) if you want to go deep.
Jen MakulowichFebruary 1, 2015Welcomed in on a frigid evening with shots - can't complain! Cute spot with a delicious modern take on traditional Russian fare.
LaurenAugust 18, 2013got to try the 'chopped' cookie AND the chef was at our table multiple times - deviled eggs were awesome, as was the mushroom stroganoff, will be back, of course!
Edmund O'NeillApril 17, 2013Cozy, modern atmosphere and deliciously unique cocktails. Amazing deserts and appetizers; entrees weren't perfect. Would return!
love this place and their food is terrific. their hamburger is to die for as is any pasta dish. a very welcomed little touch of deliciousness. yay bear!
$32 for 5 shots of your choice top shelf vodka or whiskey sampler and appetizer on Wednesdays!! Also the stewed mushrooms and 3-shot-vodka special not to be missed!!
Had their dill martini for the first time and second time last night. I think I'm in love.
