    Really, really happy with the venue, the service and above all the food and drink. The vodka flavoured with caraway and dill was delicious. The portions are large so unless you are very hungry (and I mean very hungry) I would suggest sharing a starter and having the main course. The four of us shared marinated herrings and a a stuffed perogi with cheese and potato, and then we tucked into what is heaven - chicken livers. Fabulous We also had a bottle of Georgian red wine to wash it down, terrific. No room for dessert. The service is so friendly including the person taking our coats as soon as we got through the door, and then the waitresses who noticed that my wife's purse / bag had slipped off the back of the chair and could have been stepped on, or worse. You have to book, though.

    Last 2 times have been disappointing. Sad but it’s lost its charm. Very rushed service even though it’s not very busy no need to serve main course while one still clearly eats starter (salad). Even though we asked could we please have a little break between starter and main. Unfortunately main arrived while we were half way through started. Exactly the same thing happened on our previous visit. Server was nice, polite and attentive. But kitchen staff cooks way too fast. 3 stars 🌟 all together.
