Description

At this romantic little restaurant, zakuski (appetizers) are the thing, a vast array of salads, spreads, and "bites" including good borscht and fine light blini (with salmon caviar, lox, and great smoky herring). All the expected Russian favorites are on offer, such as stroganoff, stuffed cabbage, and potato vareniki. 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, …,
