   This is a truly a gem and a win for Noe Valley and San Francisco. Anya El-Watter has thought of every detail and transports the guest on a magical journey of her home region with a modern twist. Bravo! A must visit.

   Randomly came across this restaurant and their vegan tasting menu! Everything was exceptional and delicious. Would definitely come back again to try their summer tasting menu

   I had dined with you 6 months ago and it was amazing start to finish. This time was disappointing especially the Stroganoff. The pasta was gummy and difficult to separate and the sauce was bland and barely room temperature . We didn’t realize with the description of ingredients that was no beef.This was surprising and unfortunate as I brought back with me good friends with high expectations. The soup was tasty as was the pickle board. So expensive for a mediocre experience!

   Stunning and creative presentation and menu. The food is delicious and spectacularly creative. The plating is what you would see at a three star Michelin restaurant. Interestingly it has a Vegan tasting option which has to be one of the best in San Francisco. I will use this as a regular option for business dinners when I have vegetarian or Vegan clients.

   So went for a special occasion, and expected it to be expensive. But was not entirely expecting $600+ for 2 people for 1 moderate bottle of champagne, a 50g caviar service and 2 mains. The ambiance is more open kitchen semi casual Californian....so there is a mismatch of luxe pricing and environment. It's also alot of paperwork and explaining, given the options of a la carte, prix fixe, caviar, etc etc. I'd simplify the menu. The caviar was excellent. I prefer the way Jardinere used to present blini---freshly griddled and still warm and slightly crispy on the edges....but that's a quibble. Other food was also v good. Service was pleasant and attentive.

   This is an excellent restaurant. The food and service are outstanding. The interior design is lovely. Minor note: the music did not match the ambiance. It detracted from the experience. My only real objection is to some of the prices. The bill for three of us without a lot of food or booze was $450. Then again, I asked for a glass of wine to pair with the stroganoff for under $20 and got an excellent Georgian red. I won’t be going every week, but will be back.

    We tried the vegan tasting menu and it was fabulous! An amazing combination of traditional and new flavors! If you are vegan this is a the place to go for special occasions or anytime really. Service was spot on and the ambience is spectacular!

    Food was delicious, unusual cocktails. Portions small...probably best value is the tasting menu. Lovely special occasion place. Service was awesome, explaining the menu and options.

    Celebrated my wife's birthday here in true style. Excellent food and a superior wine list (many from Georgia that were truly impressive. For those unused to Russian/East European cuisine, this must serve as an essential introduction to a dazzling array of mouth watering dishes, not to be denied to eager American palettes. I recommend this restaurant highly. What is particularly impressive is that every item in the Vegan menu is not just an apology for the main menu, but competes with in every way .. if not more! Starting with the hors d'oeuvres, a magical composition of unusual pickled vegetable combinations (Not your usual sauerkraut) set off against some sparkling Champagne and/or ice cold Vodka infusions(try the horseradich infused vodka). Continuing with the Borscht which is the jewel in the crown, but there is so much more...the Lamb was a revelation and probably the best I have eaten in recemt times. definitely my vote for this restaurants' pièce de résistance. The finish was not anticlimax either with hexagonal honey cake and what else but a Grand Cru Montrachet? Service was very attentive and welcoming. What are you waiting for?

    Incredible dinner and service. They accommodated our dietary restriction and gluten allergy, and we were thrilled with our meal.
