Start with some vodka, a bowl of borscht, more vodka, sing along with the live music, more vodka, get some blini or pickled fish, more vodka, then a creamy entree like beef stroganoff. Read more

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!!!

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

Amazing cocktails and patio. Love that they play Russian music in the background!
Rachel SheppardJanuary 26, 2016
The house infused vodka are a good deal for how much smoother they are than a lot of name brands. I like the caraway.

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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.
Vincent ChesneyJuly 24, 2021
The “Sputnik” a martini made with horseradish infused, house made vodka.
Daniel KubinskiJanuary 11, 2012
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.

Get the wild rice cabbage rolls, and a Moscow Mule. Delicious on a cold February evening!
The Growler MagazineAugust 20, 2013
A few good Russian beers and vodka -- lots and lots of vodka. Try the pickle plate and the Siberian Pelmeni.
Ralph MeyerMay 11, 2018
Fascinating menu, our table tried a variety of dishes, all very good. Service was attentive.
KellyDecember 4, 2013
Make sure to get there by at least 5:45 if you hope for any service before happy hour ends at 6

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

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 pierogis are to die for, and the martinis are great

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.

The Siberian Pelmeni is the best éntree on the menu. Also, the Iron Curtain martini is fabulous.
Evan GoldaderOctober 5, 2013
Amazing food and vodka. Waitstaff was a little too quick about bussing the table tho.

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

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

Excellent bartenders. Fast, knowledgable and still friendly.

Unbelieveable authentic Russian meal. Diverse vodka options.

Cabbage rolls are amazing. The vodka flight is a must--ask for mini pickles :)
Christine TaffeAugust 26, 2011
Tea Smoked Chicken Salad, Vareniki Dumplings and Borshch. You won't know what hit you! Go for lunch - way cheaper.

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

Absolutely one of the most beautiful patios in St. Paul!
Daniel KubinskiJanuary 11, 2012
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.
Stephen KoontzSeptember 18, 2014
The servers and cooks are refreshingly Russian. There's no bull shit or phoniness.
Daniel KubinskiJanuary 11, 2012
Name your poison. Chocolate, cherries, pickles, garlic, whatever. Moscow has a vodka for that.
Robin EdmanMay 13, 2015
The apps are better than the entrees.

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