Interior is very stylish and seating is so comfortable. Staff is polite and efficient, speaks english so you can even have a small talk with them....Food tasted great, I had also dessert and coffee and everything pleased me.

The prices were higher than in Vyborg, but not unreasonably so. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. We would consider returning if they could improve their slow kitchen service.

We had Olivier salad (known as Russian salad outside the country) with tongue, borscht, solyanka, pike patties, calf with asparagus, apple juice, green tea, and a few glasses of Crimean wine. The service was impeccable. We were greeted at the entrance, seated by the window, and promptly given menus. Our waiter, Galya, quickly took our order and the starters arrived in about ten minutes. Special mention should be given to her as our five-year-old grandson was very hungry, and she immediately brought him his borscht. The total bill came to 4400 rur (approx. 59 USD) for the three of us, which we found to be reasonable. We will definitely be returning. Highly recommended – one of the best, if not the best, in the city.

This restaurant has a long history, you can read it at the internet sometimes. Now it looks very nice and comfortable. You should eat there, so...the speak all night long, take a appetizer, soups, main course, dessert, kafe and konjak and and and... We get a very good food there and staff was very friendly. Clean unisex-toilets, nice furniture where sit, big windows everywhere, taste a history and enjoy your meal. We recommend this place.
