I very much enjoyed my dinner here recently (because I'm Russian and love Russian food). Started out with a salad and some prosecco for the evening. My date sampled one of the fla...

I called to make a reservation for my birthday. The lady that answered the phone was really rude and unprofessional. If you like good service, I suggest that you pick a different ...

Excellent Russian food. 6/14/2005

I had dinner at the Samovar the other night. The experience could not have been better. The place is beautiful, the service is courteous and effective, and the food is outstanding. I had the rabbit and my companion had the lamb for entrees. We were both very happy with them. My companion had the cold borsch for an appetizer and was very satisfied. I had the vinegret, and thought it was pretty good but not as nice as everything else at the restaurant. Overall, the night was a success and the bill was $100 for two (appetizers, entrees, glass of wine each, tea/coffee). Pros: Good food, Beautiful, Great Service more

Go for the crowd and not food 5/17/2004

Good russian food outside the home is hard to come by. RUssian restuarants are more about getting big groups together, getting drunk, and having a blast. I had a good time and the vibe was very jovial, but the food was pricey and less than fresh. downstairs was lively, upstairs was overly extravagant, big and empty. go with good people, and not to be blown away by cuisine. Pros: fun crowd, live music Cons: , pricey for quality more

Good Times, Great Voldka 5/6/2004

Great place to go for a chang of the norm! Took my friends after a show. The foos was great, the service was to notch and the live music really added a different flair to the night. Although Russian food is a bit heavy, it is not for the picky eater. more

Authentic Russian Food and homeade infused Vodka in the heart of Times Square

Owner Message

  • We are a Theater District hideaway,decorated with a charming collection of eponymous samovars.Our quaintness contributes to an air of bourgeois grandeur in the banquette-lined main room,which off-screen is actually green in front at the bar?though decidedly red in back.Known for iour flavored vodkas?at least a dozen herb and/or fruit infused varieties are available?there's also a full menu of Russian and Georgian fare for those looking to supplement a liquid diet.Stick to the classic comfort foods?borsht and pelmeni are sure bets?and relax with a crowd that's part pre-theater, part Russki social club,and part vodka-loving young professional.A warm welcome,live music most nights,and in the cooler months,a legendary poetry series maintains the spirit of Joseph Brodsky.The low buzz of laughter makes this a pleasant place to while away a few hours with friends.
