Stepping into this place was like a nostalgic journey back to the Soviet Union era, complete with samovars, red leather chairs, and metal cup holders. The food had a delightful homemade quality to it. While the prices were a tad on the higher side, it almost felt like they were factoring in the cost of a 'time travel ticket' – they even charged $8 for a cup of hot water! 😧 The service was efficient, though initially, we had a fleeting feeling of being uninvited guests upon our arrival.
The Russian Samovar is a cool bar. I'm writing this review after going to a Russian LGBTQ event there. It was a really nice and enjoyable event, reminding me of good times in the past. I felt comfortable and at home. I've been to that restaurant before and the food was really good. It's a fantastic place and always enjoyable. The staff, who are friendly Ukrainians, make it even better. 💛💙🫶🏻🎄
The food here is my favorite. Period. The chicken Kiev and Duck Ala Russe were the best I’ve had in NYC. Also had a lovely cranberry ginger drink and the infused vodka is also a treat. Be sure to try the medovik with Russian tea served with cherries for dessert. The atmosphere is comfortable and cozy. The servers are attentive, kind and helpful. This was our second time there and we had a great time.
