Pelmeni (Russian "ravioli") are a comforting entree, and there are blinchiki (crepe wraps) for dessert or for lunch.

    Bad service and management. It used to have a nice atmosphere and a good looking local Newport Beach crowd. Unfortunately, the uplifting atmosphere is gone and the clients looked like not the local upscale young NB crowd, …,
