Servic and staff are excellent. Friendly. They'll educate you if you ask about the food. Have the lamb dumplings. You'll be dreaming of them. The potato salad is awesome too. Oh and the vodka..... I'll be back.

A very quintessentially Russian resto tucked away in the heart of midtown! You casually get live music with dinner and the pianist and singers are so amazing. The horseradish shot was strangely sweet because they add cranberry juice to it. Portions are very generous so be careful of over ordering!

Great place for some home made infusions and delightful atmosphere. I felt like went back into the past a little bit. Tried mussels dish and was very tasty. No mayo or cheese on it so you can actually taste the mussels. There was live music too which was a pleasant surprise. Service was top notch. Waitress tried hard to attend to every guest despite the place being filled to the rim. Will go back there again next time I visit the city.

Omg I love this place!! Very Good Happy hours!! Every vodka you can imagine. Martinis are great!!!! I always do a reservation, just in case because the place is not very big. Bathrooms are clean. If you like vodka, you can't go wrong with this place.

We were looking for a late night snack and drinks and this place hit the spot. We actually made a quick reservation on open table but it turned out not to be necessary. There were still seats available at the bar. There was wonderful live piano music. We got the Russian dumplings which were delicious and very comforting. My favorite cocktail was the chocolate martini. It was a wonderful experience and would definitely come back

Came for after dinner drinks. Pretty affordable in Theater District. Quiet and interesting of all the Russian vodka shots.

Simply my favorite no frills bar in NYC! Have been here so many times over the years- the Apple martini keeps me coming back-- sour, tangy, sweet & stronggg. It's almost always crowded after 6 pm, but don't miss their happy hour which runs until 7 and includes discounted martinis and flavored vodka shots. They infuse their own vodka here- with unique flavors like horseradish and pineapple. The place appears to be family owned and has an authentic Russian ambience. They've also had live music most times I've been

We walked in to the low lighting and qere asked if we wanted to sit up front or the back room. We chose the back room and were seated in a well lit corner. We ordered the 1.5 oz flights. The libations were smooth. The cuisine of potato gravalax and lamb dumplings closed with apple blitzes. We shall return. Great engagement wirh four ladies seated next to us.
