Absolutely delicious. Hidden gem. The server was amazing and made my husband the best Moscow mule he has ever had. The food was so good. Everything had a depth of flavor that can only be built from taking ones time. I literally can not wait to come back.

Overall good experience. Interesting decor. Big vodka selection. We were seated in a private room, separated from other private rooms by curtains. Very cool. The food was good and reasonably priced. They may have been short-staffed because there were long periods of time we were left alone. A fun dinner.

They first confused us about not being able to order food at the bar area. But we were glad to be able to do it later. It was a surprise to be part of their 40th birthday celebration. They offered free vodka infused ice cream and watermelon. The vibes were weird but fun. The music equipment quality was so bad tho 🤦‍♀️ extremely loud with noise

There are so many options here that I just want to go back again and again to try. Above and beyond what your standard fare may be, the ability to try a lot of foods you may never have come across before is an absolute treat. And that’s not even getting to their huge selection of infused vodkas. This is a place where the food is just as good as the experience.

Russian House has been on my list for a while now and I finally got to go! It’s an authentic place with tons of flavored vodkas, Russian servers and Russian owners. You can also live it up, if you are feeling brave, and wear some Russian gear- military hats, clothing and some giant shoes (don’t understand that part). But it is a great place! I felt like I needed to try everything as I don’t think I’ve ever indulged myself in Russian feasts. Started off with the classical Julienne with chicken and mushrooms. I know, not a traditional Russian dish but it looked good, and tasted good too! Then we got some Ukrainian Borsch- a warm beet soup. I’m not normally a beet fan but I knew I had to get this. I don’t think I could do the soup cold, which is also an option. The main dish was the tandoori medium plate (pork ribs, chicken legs, pork sausage, veggies and baked potatoes. The spices were great. I think the sausage may have been my favorite. Finally I had to get dessert. My friend got the Napoleon cake (not Russian) and I got the Babushka Rose which was a chocolate hazelnut dessert that was rich and something I’ll get every time. Thanks Russian House for a great night!

Absolutely amazing. Best Russian food I've ever had and they have a huge selection of infused vodkas. Don't pick, just ask them to pour a shot for you of their choice. You can't go wrong. Golubtsy is rich in flavor as is the traditional Stroganoff. I give this 10/10 will visit over and over again!

Great place. Feels like a small Russia. The music and the ambience is nice. Aesthetically a bit crowded. Good was good. First time trying out Russia cuisine. Had to just walk in there as we could not find anyone to seat us. They could be about more attentive.

Delicious food and a cool ambiance. The service was good and the waitstaff very attentive. Overall great experience and a nice place to good from time to time. The drink selections and vodka were great. Nice bar area for gatherings. Really helps that the menu has photos to help with the selection. The dining area had smaller cozy tables and larger ones for larger groups. Bathrooms were very clean and had plenty of room.

We decided to have Russian food last night. They started us off with complimentary vodka shots and fresh sauerkraut..I have to say that was a nice way to start the meal! We ordered Golubtsy and a Tandoori mixed plate. Delish from beginning to end! Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

Really quaint Russian feel with lots of little decor treasures in display. Great Eastern European food options- everything we tried was perfectly seasoned and prepared. Like being in Grandma's kitchen. Their infused vodka selection and display is astounding. Don't forget to throw on a hat and/or jacket and pose for a picture with the bear!
