Russia House Restaurant - HerndonWhen You're Here, You're Family...How wonderful to walk into a restaurant and be greeted as family by the owners. They are so charming and generous and I love that they actually use real candles and not flickering bulbs at the table - nice to be treated like a grown up. The food is fantastic, the rolls are warm and the black currant vodka makes a sublime dessert. Check it out!5/8/2013 12:00:00 AMOutstanding Meal and ServiceDined on May 5 to celebrate an early Mother's Day and two birthdays. The meals were wonderful and portions perfect.

The attention to table details felt luxurious.4/27/2013 12:00:00 AMThe Russia House is a terrificThe Russia House is a terrific place both for the food and for the service. Ali and Homeyra are attentive and made outstanding wine recommendations. They scour the small boutique wines and always have a special they recommend. Food is also outstanding...not an over the top for number of selections but they obviously know what they do best. For starters, the bacon wrapped scallops were phenomenal. The second time we went, we had the caviar based on Ali's recommendation and it was great. I'd recommend the traditional Stroganoff, the filet, and the butterflied filet flambe. The Creme Brulee is awesome!!!4/26/2013 12:00:00 AMThanks for another great dinner!The owners take great pride in everything they do and it shows. The Russia House is a great place for good food and good conversation with a classical european style of service.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMRussia House has amazing food.Russia House has amazing food. Though, I would steer clear of the appetizer plate. Not much food and overall bland. The rest of the meal rated 5+. The caesar salad made table side was flavorful. The homemade rolls are served hot. The duck on sauerkraut was out of this world. Prices are high, but, worth it.4/20/2013 12:00:00 AMMy husband and I have eatenMy husband and I have eaten here several times and love it. The food is wonderful - made with care and almost everything we've had has been delicious. It's quiet, romantic, and the owners are so warm and welcoming. The house infused vodkas are something special - especially the pomegranate (we tried also the butterscotch and cherry and both were good too). The bacon wrapped scallops were very plump and fresh, but the sauce they were sitting on was the star - so good, I was forced to use my bread to get it all up. I had the filet and my husband ordered the duck with sour cherries. The filet was cooked perfectly and the vegetables were a nice touch - especially the braised cabbage. The duck was very tasty too. Highly recommend!4/19/2013 12:00:00 AMIn addition to the wonderfulIn addition to the wonderful food and great service, there's an incredible vodka menu. It's no wonder this place has been around so long.4/17/2013 12:00:00 AMHaving dinner a Russia HouseHaving dinner a Russia House is an event.

A wonderful break from chain restaurants. I'm a fan!4/16/2013 12:00:00 AMExcellent dinner, okay dessertMy husband and I had an excellent dinner. My only complaint was that the dessert that we had (cream puffs) were not of the same quality as our entrees. However, we would be willing to come back for another meal.4/13/2013 12:00:00 AMWe had a lovely dinner andWe had a lovely dinner and outstanding service at Russia House starting with wonderful freshly baked rolls. Our Caeser salad made table side was everything it should have been starting with the anchovies...it was perfect. The owner and chef, along with his wife, were warm and welcoming. The duck breast was very tender although I would have liked the sour cherry sauce a little more sour then it was. Steak tartare, which my son-in-law ordered was also made table side and he said it was excellent and my daughter was very happy with her scallops. We finished with some delicious apple strudel---all in all, a very pleasant experience.4/7/2013 12:00:00 AMWorth a visit!Russia House pleases again! This was my 2nd time at this restaurant. The food was fabulous and again the service was extremely kind and attentive.
