Hot borscht is delicious and a hearty soup . The fries are out of this world tasty and full of flavor with dill and garlic yum! Servers are hit and miss our male server was checked out & not listening.

Blake Thelen

If it's your first time at this restaurant get the house vodka flight and appetizer sampler . It's a great way to kick off the Russian experience.

Mina Marcelle

Everything is great here. Some of my favs: House Vodka Flight ; appetizer sampler ; borsht soup ; salmon with homemade pasta and creamy veggies . Ambiance is sexy & cozy .

Marisa Bluestone

This is my go-to place for out of town guests. I usually get the ap tasting platter and vodka flight (cherry and Carmel are my fav.) Also love the Marusya Gold , which is rather strong.

Twan

Authentic Russian food - so many things to love, where to begin? Borscht , appetizer sampler , beef stroganoff , the best escargot , pelmini... Sour cream and dill everywhere. You gotta try the Napoleon !!!

Marty O.

Start with herring , get a cup of borscht , then try the stuffed cabbage rolls . Finish with honey layer cake & coffee , you're all set

Abby Anderson Jones

Amazing cocktails and patio . Love that they play Russian music in the background!

Vincent Chesney

App platter, with beef tongue , cabbage , sardines, salmon , assorted cheeses and all sorts of other Russian goodness.

Vincent Chesney

Where else can you enjoy a White Russian cocktail with a White Russian tiramisu

Christopher Popov

The horseradish vodka while good it gets old after sipping on a full drink. The peasant pelmeni was descent but had way too much cheese . Anything with cabbage in it was good. Place was really drafty.

What goes better with vodka than fruit ? The Siberian Pelmeni , that's what. These dumplings will warm your stomach up, while the vodka warms everything else. Read more

The house infused vodka are a good deal for how much smoother they are than a lot of name brands. I like the caraway.

G. Sax

The back patio is one of St. Paul’s hidden gems . The specialty vodkas are among the best anywhere.

Kate

They make their own vodka here, try the cherry or horseradish in a cocktail ! Also renovated in July, so if you haven't been in awhile check out the new swanky decor.

Shannon Lee

I also stand by the Marusya Gold ! They have great martinis too. Drink prices are not bad considering how good they are. A bowl of hot borscht is a must, or try the blini or pierogies .

Vincent Chesney

The “Sputnik” a martini made with horseradish infused, house made vodka .

Ralph Meyer

Fascinating menu, our table tried a variety of dishes, all very good. Service was attentive.

Jessica Goebel

Never seen this much vodka in my entire life. The drinks are amazing, and the food is Devine. I highly recommend this sweet little place.

Daniel Kubinski

Friendly bartender Kevin bought me a drink for no reason at all. Dressed in an Indian Motorcycle hoodie I was surprised to be allowed through the door, but Evin was awesome.

The Growler Magazine

A few good Russian beers and vodka -- lots and lots of vodka . Try the pickle plate and the Siberian Pelmeni .

Arah Bahn

Get the wild rice cabbage rolls , and a Moscow Mule . Delicious on a cold February evening!

Dagny Heimisdottir

The pierogis are to die for, and the martinis are great

Robin Edman

Drinks are much better than the food. Have the former first, and it might help with the latter.

Brent Miller

Borscht , yum. Mixed drinks , yum. Grab at least 3 friends and have a great time.

Ben Gutnik

Unbelieveable authentic Russian meal. Diverse vodka options.

G. Sax

There are blankets on the chairs closest to the front door during winter months. Cozy !

Kelly

Make sure to get there by at least 5:45 if you hope for any service before happy hour ends at 6

Evan Goldader

Amazing food and vodka . Waitstaff was a little too quick about bussing the table tho.

Meghan McInerny

Get the Moscow Mule with the house infused ginger vodka .

Stephen Koontz

Excellent bartenders . Fast, knowledgable and still friendly .

Carolyn P.

Awesome food on lunch menu today. We will be back!

Christine Taffe

Tea Smoked Chicken Salad , Vareniki Dumplings and Borshch . You won't know what hit you! Go for lunch - way cheaper.

Try the Zubrodka. A buffalo grass infused vodka served ice cold with a tiny sweet pickle . Tastes as good as a freshly-mowed lawn smells: amazing.

Ashley Scouton

Absolutely one of the most beautiful patios in St. Paul!

Angie Brown

The Siberian Pelmeni is the best éntree on the menu. Also, the Iron Curtain martini is fabulous.

studioL

Amanda

On Mpls St Paul's list of Insider Eats for Russian tapas & copious amounts of vodka

Always order the appetizer sampler . Great way to taste the cuisine!

Liz Anderson

Cabbage rolls are amazing. The vodka flight is a must--ask for mini pickles :)

Daniel Kubinski

First time since before I was legal to drink I ever sat down at a bar and felt like amatuer. I've a new respect for vodka .

Jan Koelb

The horseradish vodka is incredible. I am not kidding. Try it.

Best vodka in the twin cities !

The servers and cooks are refreshingly Russian. There's no bull shit or phoniness.
