so much fun

by miriam12

This is a russian supper club with Las-Vegas style entertainment. My husband and I decided to try it last night after some Russians we met recommended it. So we got dressed up and went. We enjoyed the show, and we did a lot of dancing. The food was tasty, but it is heavy so order carefully. To get in the right mood, we ordered a half-bottle of smirnoff. We had caviar and blinis and some delicious fish. It was the salad that was a problem since it was mayonnaisey. We met some really nice people, and we toasted each other with vodka. The service was very good especially considering the lights went down at show time and it was hard to tell the waiter what we wanted. But he was very nice and we got everything we needed. Overall we had a blast and we will return with our friends

• Pros: entertainment
• Cons: pricey

Tons of decent food; rude waiter asked for bigger tip!

by cgracia

This is the the sort of place you should visit once, but that should be enough. Tatiana has some authentic Russian elements (although the food is more Georgian - shishkebab type stuff) and most of the songs were in French, Spanish, or English, at least one thing was authentic: terrible service. Not a single wait said a word to us all night, unless you count the eye rolling when we informed them that one of our party was sick. When we received the bill, there was a 10% gratuity included, so we paid that and a little more. My philosophy is that if you force your clients to pay a gratuity (an oxymoronic policy), then you are forgoing the normal tip. Anyway, the waiter came over and made a big promotion about how offended he was that we didn't include an additional 15% tip on top of the mandatory tip. The whole thing left a really sour taste in our mouths. Would have been much happier paying an 18% gratuity or just giving the standard 20% that we would have paid if they didn't add it to the bill.

• Pros: Ridiculously funny and authentic (mid-70s Russian) show and food
• Cons: Be prepared for requests for "bonus tip"; expensive, too much food

You don't need to travel to Atlantic City to see a show.

by MoodyArt

I was there yesterday, Sunday, and had a great.... great.... time. Where in Brooklyn do you go and see a show and then dance the night away with dico, eurotech etc.. ? It's not just a place to eat, drink and dance but to be on a boardwalk too that is filled with people strolling this beautiful enviroment with fresh ocean air and the breeze?... to die for.

See for yourself and be delighted.

• Pros: Food, sound system, ambience and service are great and they are kid friendly.
• Cons: Save up and take a special date. You won't be sorry.

stay a way from tatiana

by Gregoriani

I must say that WAS nice place while ago, and if you get there often you could see how GO DOWN...

They lost the Las Vegas Show style. The new show (which I sew) is haotic, nothing hapend, only dancers and singers, and you got tired very easy from. NO anything to provocate your attention.

They had a MALE CONTORTIONIST before, and that guy was amazing. The people was with open mouth looked the act.

And that was some what you can't forget.

Now - nothing... Even mostly look redicilous... Could you imagine - Show Girls in SNEAKERS in all show...

Well, the kitchen is not the greatest anymore as well. Last time was to oily, and heavy...

Sorry for the cleints there, The place is not was before, UNFORTUNATELY....

nice food, good service

by SIGirl33

I loved it! The food was superb, not cheap, but well worth it. They have a show, a bit cheezy, but lots of fun. The service was very nice, very friendly, I did not even expect a good service at a Russian restaurant (I know what I am talking about!). The stage for dancing is a bit small, but we had a blast. Loved the location - took a nice walk on the boardwalk right after our meal.

• Pros: good food, can bring your own alcohol, nice location - near the ocean/beach
• Cons: food ain't cheap, small stage for dancing

Food is OK, very expensive and service is horrible

by vspektor

I parked with their valet service (they charge for it). A months later I received an "unpaid ticket" in the mail for expired parking meter that was issued while I was at the restaurant for parking 2 blocks away from a restaurant. I called the restaurant and talked to the manager. The manager told me that valet service is contracted out and gave me contact information for the Valet service company. I talked with the valet manager who initially said he will pay the ticket but never did. Now 6 months later and after 5 conversations with both restaurant manager and valet manager, I am stuck with the ticket and an overdue penalty.

• Pros: Location
• Cons: Parking, poor service

Sushi sidles up to borscht and chicken cutlet kiev at this seaside Russian restaurant that resembles Vegas--with live weekend performances.
