I came for my friend’s birthday celebration party. The overall experience was good. They have live music and various performances by gymnasts and dancers. It was very unexpectedly to see gymnasts performance, which we enjoyed a lot. Thank you very much! The live music was ok - sometimes I felt like I am in the Soviet Union somewhere in 1980s probably. I would suggest to updating the play list to more recent songs. The food looked amazing but tasted okay. Honestly speaking, I would expect more flavor in the served dishes. Overall, the place looks beautiful and atmospheric.
We brought in the New Year at this restaurant. The banquet table was prepared to most of our family and friends liking with a few exceptions and very good service. We enjoyed the show very much with live music and different musical numbers along with the Russian Santa claus who came bearing gifts to all the kids. It was a fun time with good service, I would recommend having a party here with large or small groups. The large screen and the decorations were also very nice.
What happened to Russian restaurants? Specifically the flagship restaurant. Service — not amazing and ruder than ever; plates not changed frequently enough with all the dishes coming out. Alcohol not helped with either. Toilet broken but has a tip jar. Coat check required but with a mandatory fee on top of the $125 - 250 pp charges. Music — speakers are terrible, can’t make out the sound; playlist focused on south russian music, even normal songs mixed in with hints of south Russian. Show — the same 4 women and 1 guy performed dancing acts in various costumes. Not creative at all and quite boring. Food — food is good, but nothing special for the price point. “Voss” seltzer is recycled with house seltzer we tagged a bottle and it came back refilled with same broken seal.
Exelent service, nice friendly atmosphere. Visited place where we celebrated my nephew birthday. Really liked everything. Hope will again someday. Nothing even close to it San Francisco.
We were invited to a birthday party there. We were seated in the part of the room surrounded by guests from many other parties. It is standard in Russian halls but lots of fun as well. Good was great, music nice and wonderful show- entertainment for all. Valley parking available. There was a person or two taking pictures that they were selling after if you chose to buy. We were pressed to leave our jacket in the coat check area only to see later that that did not apply to "native" people - they had their class with them. Not the big deal but I was cold when we arrived and would like to have it on me a bit longer when we arrived.
This place is a bit tacky with their decor. The food was served in the most odd way and I think half of it was frozen before. They've placed picked items with fruits, so if you're in a mood for pickled watermelon or grapes then you're in luck. The only thing that was amazing was the shishkabob both chicken and lamb were perfectly cooked. Pelmeni were pretty good too, everything else was definitely frozen before. They have live performance and they sing some odd song, they got better throughout the night.
Great atmosphere. Excellent service. The servers covers you with all their attention. You will never feel lonely there. They also have their show on Saturdays.
Not really my kind of thing but definitely something different if you’re not Russian. Large amounts of mediocre food at high prices and you get an acrobatic show and cheesy singing show. Lots of Russians celebrating birthdays and whatever. Fun to try once.
This place is under new ownership and has a different name now. Wife and I went there a night before the friend’s birthday party while staying in Brooklyn for a couple of nights. They have a good DJ who makes the night going and food was good. Our waiter was nice and got everything to our table quickly. The owner is there at night, says hello to every guest and asking if everything is ok. Really nice guy. Their bouncer is like a Russian Hulk. Really nice guy too. That pace doesn’t have a Liquer license and you could bring your own booze.
I threw my twins 1st birthday party here last night and it was perfect! All of guests were so impressed with the quality and quantity of food. The music was amazing and the show was phenomenal! The servers were excellent, especially 1 in particular I wish I had gotten his name. 2 of my guests have celiac so he found out which foods were safe for them to eat and he made sure that he was the only one to serve them to make sure they didn't get any wrong information. The new owners did a wonderful job and were definitely more involved during the party than the previous owner was when we had out oldest daughters first birthday there. I 100% recommend Romanoff for any occasion, whether private or just a dinner seating. Loved every moment. Thank you for making the night special!
