Andrea was our waiter and she was very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable. I did a flight of their vodkas- very nice experience. I would recommend the Jewel of Russia. We had the stroganoff, duck and sea bass. It was all wonderful but the duck was over the top!! Dessert wise- very disappointed in the Baked Alaska but the blintzes did not disappoint. Abbey, manager made us feel very welcome and valued. Highly recommend!!

We loved our pork chops and salmon dinners. We were fortunate to get a booth because my companion uses a walker and we needed some extra room. One of our favorite places to eat!
