Great service, delicious fresh food. The feta cheese and hummus were excellent. Surprised there wasn't a wait for Sunday brunch at 10am, we must be lucky!

Omg!! I can not say enough good things about this place! Food is great! Staff is personable, upbeat and positive. Atmosphere is so welcoming too! I've tried several different items but their buckwheat almond pancakes and blueberry lemon ricotta pancakes are heavenly!

I've really been wanting to try this place and it did not disappoint. I love to try different types of nationality food, these are Russian-based. Excellent breakfast and lunch options.

It was a great first time experience, Our waiter was great, attentive and respectful. The pancakes were delicious, and the English and all American breakfast was delicious. Will be a returning customer.

This restaurant is so cute and the staff is very attentive. All the breakfast options are delicious. However, what stole the show was the Russian Dumplings. The meat was so tender and flavorful without being overpowering. I want to pick these little dumplings up every day on my way home...

Update: I took my son here today and they were every bit as good as in the past. He out-ordered me with the Russian Grandma, but my crepes were amazing too. Everyone there was friendly as always. Old review: The restaurant went way beyond my expectations. I’d seen some tasty looking dishes on yelp, and read some great reviews. It’s surpassed all of them. The atmosphere is cheery and open, and the food was absolutely delicious. My eggs had a very unique flavor that I’m looking forward to experiencing again. Highly recommended!

Was seated immediately. Food took a while but the cooking times were listed on the menu so we already had a very good idea of wait time. Waitress was friendly and frequently came by to check on us. Place wasn't super busy, two other tables …

Я остался очень доволен обедом. Вкусный борщ напоминает мне бабушкину стряпню.
