Russian Vodka Room invites guests to spend time with friends while savoring quality vodka and Russian delicacies. Decorated with wooden furniture, artwork and chandeliers, the restaurant creates an ambience of a traditional Russian home.

Its menu features caviar, borscht, duck liver pate, meat dumplings and other appetizers, as well as herring under a fur coat, a typical layered salad. Russian Vodka Room’s patrons can dine on main entrées such as beef stroganoff with kasha, a type of porridge, roast duck with apples, prunes and apricots or breaded and pan-seared sea bass. Farmer’s cheese pancakes with chocolate and other desserts are on the menu, as well. As its name implies, Russian Vodka Room serves a wide selection of vodkas and infusions that range from raspberry and cranberry to ginger and garlic pepper and dill vodka. Visitors can also enjoy live piano and jazz concerts.

I had my birthday in the back room on a Friday night. Absolutely the best place to have a birthday party in the city. Max, the singer, is so talented. He made everyone’s night. Our waiter was so patient and helped us split up the bill for a huge group. The photographer was so sweet and made the night feel really special. Can’t recommend this place enough.

Exceptional service! The caviar was divine & the gluten free substitute of sliced egg was brilliant! So delicious ❤️ The recommended Vodka’s were smooth & of excellent quality. A thoroughly delightful evening. We have 3 photos your staff so kindly took & framed for us to remember the night.

Too loud for our party. Couldn’t hear each other talk due to the loud music but maybe I should’ve checked the website before coming in. The waitresses were wonderful though. Drinks are VERY strong, but it’s a Russian vodka room! To be expected.

Ambiance / Location: Good. The service was horrible. After ordering appetizers, the waiter took all the menus away. We had to ask her to bring menus back for mains, and she got one menu for a table of four. She was arguing why she couldn't give us tap water (rather than iced water). Food: Appetizers came out one after another (with 4 -5 mins wait) between each. Mains came out 1 at a time. How can the group start eating without everyone's food on the table? The soup (appetizer) was delivered after the mains were delivered. The food was ok at best (for the price) or maybe because was cold by the time we started eating it (as it was delivered one at a time).
