party like russian folk dance is still in style!
vodka will be flowin’ so sweet, the food will be so plenty and authentically russian, and furry hat is optional!
this place is smaller than other russian banquet halls, like jhivago, la mirage, you get it, but it’s quite hospitable and the food is tasty.
As a russian, i recommend bringing a non-​russian to one of these places. you essentially become their «russian restaurant maker» (for all the true blood fans out there) and guide them through all the confusion that they may be experiencing. They may ask «Damn, that’s a lot of food and booze.» and you say, «Yes, indulge!» Then the weirdo provocative russian music videos start playing on the tv’s while everyone’s drinking tea and eating marinated herring. Shortly after, the live band is unveiled by a dark satin curtain while loud 80’s russian ballads are sung by 40-​year-​old women wearing sunglasses and all leather. Then music plays and disco balls come out and gleam like the sun, so you may need to do more explaining of russian party culture. It’s basically like a low budget wedding that’s actually a brunch.
Overall, not a bad experience.

I had my budget wedding here. It was a really nice and inexpensive place. They served all of our needs and provided our guests with enough food, drinks and entertainment for 6 hours.
