"Went for the Russian tea experience. Compared to other options in Portland, the food bites are definitely more flavorful and hearty, though there were a couple misses. Otherwise the tea, service, and ambiance pail in comparison to, for example, Hotel deLuxe. It's very distracting having the seating be in a shared space, and a ton of people kept coming through with their children to take photos in front of the Christmas tree. The wait staff seemed to make minimal effort to keep the noise down and not bang plates, silverware, and teapots together. We also had to ask for hot water every single time we needed more."
