"Was looking for a Russian restaurant to take my husband to when we visited the city with my parents (he's from St Petersburg). We loved it! My husband says the restaurant is more Georgian style, but so very delicious! We ordered borscht, vareniki, Tzarevna dumplings, khachapurri, and my favorite shuba! Tzarevna is sort of a trendier version of all the traditional foods, so the shuba was very cute when it came out. My husband also said he liked it better than his mom's (hopefully she never sees this review! Lol) since it's a little less herring heavy than it is traditionally made, so it would be a great way to try it out for someone new to Russian/Georgian cuisine. We also had syrniki for dessert, which was delicious. My mother is *not* adventurous with food and she really enjoyed all of the foods we ordered, and my husband was happy with the nostalgia of his comfort foods. It was a win! As I said earlier, it's a trendier spin on the traditional favorites, so the space is both nostalgic and cozy while having a sort of mid century modern spin. Definitely a great spot to try if anyone is new to food from this region and wants to have a great dinner! And EVERYONE should order the khachapurri because it is just delicious (picture attached). Thanks for a great evening!"
