Ruski

Visiting this modern Russian restaurant perched atop a tower was a memorable experience, primarily due to the breathtaking views of Moscow's iconic towers and the modern district. The atmosphere was cozy and beautiful, perfect for a romantic evening or a special celebration. However, the food was a bit of a letdown. While the dishes were decent, they didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the stunning setting. The menu offered a good variety of traditional Russian dishes with a modern twist, but the execution fell short in terms of flavor and presentation. Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for the views and the ambiance, but don't expect the food to be the highlight of the visit.

When we came they told us to wait even though we had reservation at 7. They didnt even give us somewhere to sit. After 15 minutes they finally brought us to a table where all the kids were shouting because it was right next to the kids playground, it was so uncomfortable and loud. Very unpleasant. We complained so they moved, but wasnt even a good table. The service was terrible, very slow and messy. The food is very average for the restaurant quality. We waited for the main course 1 and a half hours, absolutely insane. Would NOT recommend again. Only for nanny’s with the children for coffee. Lets not forget 36 euros for 3 bottles of water…… It wasnt the servers fault but the restaurant. Really depends on where they sit you, there is only one good area of the restaurant with a good vibe where you need to pay even more money.

If you want to enjoy wonderful view and don’t focus on the level of food, this place suits you. Many foreigners like it because of the view, the ice room with vodka inside and samovar-set - mainly local desserts served with the tea. Food is unfortunately very average quality - literally everything wasn’t as tasty as you want it in Moscow - from appetizers and main dishes to sides and snacks. And unreasonably pricey. Ingredients are low-tier: for example, cheese plate consists of basic cheese from nearest discounter :( But drinks are good: big variety of wines and liquors. There are also cocktails in the menu - classic and signatures. Tasty, but not striking. Staff doesn’t try to make your visit comfortable - you have to wait them for too long, no smiles, mixed advice about the food and drinks (isn’t helpful). There are different tables locations - some of them have direct view (located in front of the window, need reservation 10M rur/person) and some ones located inside the hall. Majority of them are located near windows, so, it’s not necessary to pay in advance - you’ll probably have this one because of their amount.

Didn’t like anything about this place. The lady who answered the phone call was extremely rude. Told me that I can’t wear summer shoes to my dress. We decided to go anyway. On the way there we couldn’t find the location. Another girl answered the phone and had no idea how to direct us. Although we apparently were just around the corner from the restaurant. When we arrived all women were wearing various types of the summer shoes. So I’m not sure why I was told a different information. Food was below average. They didn’t have rye bread for my dad. Only tasteless white bread. Meals were nothing special. My biffstroganof was tiny and not tasty at all. Staff isn’t helpful at all. I need to charge my phone and none of the servers was able to help. In a high end restaurant I was expecting a little more service minded attitude. But it seems like this place just became posh and dump restaurant where people come for dinners just because it’s a known place.
