The beautiful decor, helpful staff and amazing food exceeded my expectations. Beautiful ambience to greet you from the otherwise doll New York City streets. The wine selection was also great. I will absolutely go here again.

Shrimp kebab was nice, beef stroganoff okay, chicken Kebab- pls check for freshness of the ingredients. Absolutely loved the tongue salad. Lika was very nice and accommodating. Music was fabulous and very enjoyable- such talented guitar and balalaika performers. Thank you for experience.

I am not a vodka drinker, but this was amazing. Service is as quick or slow as you wish, but always efficient and very welcoming. You must try the Shrimp Kabob. We splurged on the Caviar and were not disappointed. Prices are moderate and reasonable, especially for the location. Attaching photos from this visit, as well as our last this past April with a group of 6. Will be coming back again...and again.

                                                              We visit NYC one a year, mostly for theater and cultural events. The Russian Vodka Room is always a must. It's hard to explain the allure of this place, but the ambiance is irresistible to us. The food is great and all the bartenders are Russian women who do a great job. I can't say enough about this place, but you should experience it for yourselves.
