About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Pushkin Restaurant proudly bears the name in honor of the great Russian writer Alexander Pushkin (May 26, 1799 - January 29, 1837) - Russian poet, play and prose writer, critic, literary theorist, historian, a publicist who laid the foundations of the Russian realistic trend.

Since our opening in October 2015, we have focused on bringing out the authenticity and deep history of Russian cuisine through our traditional and family recipes. At Pushkin, we pay tribute to the Russian as well as former Soviet Union cuisines from counties such as Ukraine, Armenia, Uzbekistan and Georgia which had a tremendous impact on what is considered Russian cuisine today. We believe this notion creates both unique and new dishes for you to try out!

    The ambiance is very nice and quiet with Russian decor. Good traditional Russian food and drink. We have eaten there a few times. The prices are a bit high, $31 for Beef Stroganoff and $20 for a carafe of pear soda. On this visit, the portions of the Beef Stroganoff were half of what we had on previous visits, but everyone enjoyed their meals.

    Olivie salad was not great, neither was borscht или solianka. We make better at home. Server had too many jobs to do- clean and bus tables, Serve and bartend. Felt neglected and then rushed. Weird vibes and terrible music, no Russian or Ukrainian music. All sleepy covers of pop songs. Очень разочарованы, заказали Квас, так и не попробовали. Хотя в чеке был Квас который не принесли. Также у моей жены сегодня день рожденья 7 Января. По этому и заказали заранее столик и указали что празднуем день рождения. 7 Января также Рождество, но ресторан Пушкин про это просто забыл. Не рекомендую! It didn’t feel Russian, Ukrainian, Belarusian or Georgian at all. Smoke kept blowing in from the street and it was gross. Also there were two patrons or were they staff members? They were wresting outside on the sidewalk when we left- very trashy. Super disappointed since we actually enjoyed the take out we ordered from here on Uber eats a week ago and thought it would be nice to dine in the actual restaurant.

    The food was mediocre. Stuffed cabbage had no flavor, the strruganoff streak had Texas fries and watery sauce.

    It was a quiet night ...only 3 couples in the place. So service was excellent as was the food and drink. First time I had caviar and vodka. They treated my wife special because she spoke Russian and it was her birthday. They gave her birthday cake with a candle. We took the tram downtown which saved $ and time parking.

    Excellent Tzars Snack (Bone marrow with black caviar) was a must try. Lamb shank was a bit on the dry side but still good. We didn’t try the honey cake cause portions are quiet generous, perhaps next time. All in all, recommended!

    Foods are served cold including soup. They have changed the menu 3 months ago, so expect 30% higher prices + 18% service fee on top of your check.

    Food was great and very different menu than your traditional restaurants. Waitress did a great job going over the dishes. Also great selection of different style drinks. Lamb dishes were excellent.

    Pushkin was where my husband and I chose to dine for one last date just us two before our baby is born, and it did not disappoint! Pushkin had the hearty food and romantic, peaceful ambiance we wanted. We were seated in the lover's corner and it was like stepping into a Russian fairytale land. Definitely reccomend this to anyone wanting a more unique dining experience without sacrificing on quality or atmosphere.

    I’ve been wanting to try Pushkin for weeks now. I was not disappointed with my first visit. The drinks were tasty. The stuffed cabbage and rabbit were so delicious too.

    Met a few friends here for dinner and it was a great experience. We started off with a bottle of beluga vodka and bone marrow topped with caviar. The vodka was one of the best I've had. Very smooth but with some flavor. the bone marrow was amazing. We also had a chef's choice appetizer that included herring "under a fur coat" which I wasn't sure if I would like but I thought it was excellent along with pickled carrots and cucumbers that were also good. Some smoked meat and a salmon wrapped and cream cheese. My friends ordered borscht and a solyanka (soup). The borscht was really good. The soup was good but I probably wouldn't get it. I got veal cheeks in a red sauce with polenta which were good but I would opt for the lamb shank next time (based on what I saw delivered to other tables). The service was excellent. And the ambiance was nice. A bit upscale. It's not the cheapest place but fairly reasonably priced for an upscale restaurant.
