Our first experience of Russian - Our first experience of Russian food and we were very impressed. The waitress coped well with an unusually busy Sunday night, and the ambience was lovely. Unfortunately no high chair... read more for our toddler so we had to take it in turns to take her out for walks in between courses but that didn’t bother anyone. Surprisingly large selection of gluten free options including 2 desserts. Everything was delicious! Hope to be back soon.

Fantastic food and service - We came here for my birthday after seeing the restaurant on Adam Liaw's Eurovision special. I was not disappointed. In fact, the dumplings I ordered were the best I've ever... read more tasted. My partner had the duck and was also raving about it. We tried two rounds each of the house flavoured vodkas. I can recommend the garlic and rosemary, and honey and chilli; while my partner really loved the fig, as well as the ginger. The wait staff looked after us exceptionally well. The only negative is that we live interstate so we won't be able to return as often as we like.
