Overall an excellent experience. The only small problem arose as people get very excited and forget personal space, but that is no fault of the restaurant itself.

The food and service is exceptional. They did not miss a beat. The smoked fish appetizer was outstanding. Plus, it’s simply fun to be there. We ended our meal with a complimentary apricot infused shot of vodka. A great ending to a perfect night. You must go there!

I love this place! It's my second time here. I will go here again with other friends. Boiled pelmeni in broth was my favorite dish this time around. I can't wait to go again and try more dishes. The menu reads like a BEST OF list that Russian and Ukrainian cuisine has to offer, with a small smattering of Georgian/Caucasian foods (cheese breads, khinkali). Flavored vodkas were a lot of fun, too.
Mari VannaResponded on 27 December 2024
Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful experience at Mari Vanna! 🌟 We’re thrilled to hear how much you’re enjoying the food and the vibe. The boiled pelmeni in broth is a classic favorite—perfect comfort food! 😋 We’re glad the variety on the menu has caught your eye, and we’re sure your next visit with friends will be just as delightful. If there’s anything special you’d like to try next time or any flavored vodka recommendations you’re curious about, let us know. We’d love to make your next visit even more memorable. Cheers to many more flavorful experiences! 🥂
