Desserts were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The outdoor area felt really nice, though I wish smoking wasn't allowed there, including staff vaping.

We ordered a few desserts, but unfortunately they did not taste good at all. The flavor was disappointing and not what we expected for the price.<br><br>Also, the staff was not very welcoming. When we came in and sat down, instead of bringing us the menu, they spoke to us in a rude way. We had to ask for the menu ourselves.<br><br>Overall, the food and service were disappointing. I hope they improve both the quality of the desserts and the customer service.
I was so looking forward to eating here!! Unfortunately the staff was very rude and entitled. I felt as though it was a racial entity, because i didn’t look like them they didn’t like me. Food was fine, just didn’t feel welcome or comfortable, actually got yelled at while going to the bathroom because they didn’t realize i was a customer. 😂 do better people
Easily one of my favorite restaurants. The food is always fresh, flavorful, and worth coming back for every time. The staff is friendly, the service is quick, and the atmosphere makes the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about quality. Definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for good food and a great vibe.
Greate sutturday Dina with live music, late show. Authentic food and beverages. Best service and atmosphere. Thank you.
Incredible service and very authentic, delicious food!! The chicken tabaka and lamb kebab were to die for
My family and I went there on 12/10 for my wife’s birthday. Everything about this place was amazing. The staff was very friendly and the owner takes a lot of pride in the restaurant. My wife is originally from Russia so she knows her Russian food. She loved having her birthday dinner there. We will definitely be going back, hopefully on a weekend, so that we can enjoy the live performances. I would highly recommend this restaurant. Thanks, Eugene and the rest of the staff for a nice experience!
I celebrated my 40th birthday at Tatiana’s and it was beyond anything I could have imagined. I grew up going to the original Tatiana’s as a kid, so returning decades later for this milestone felt really special and they absolutely delivered.<br><br>The food was outstanding, the service was flawless, and the performances were unreal. Every detail was so thoughtfully executed. My guests and I were completely floored by the whole experience.<br><br>Tatiana’s made my birthday unforgettable, and I couldn’t recommend it more highly.
I went to Tatiana for lunch and unfortunately had a very bad experience.<br><br>I ordered the Pojarsky cutlet. At first, I was pleased with the presentation—the plate looked nice, and the portion size was generous. However, the moment I tasted it, I realized something was very wrong. The cutlet smelled like old lard(salo)and the inside seemed to be made of at least 80% bread and bread crumbs, with very little meat. I managed to eat only one of the two cutlets because I was hungry, but it was not good.<br><br>The waiter was polite, but the payment process was very unprofessional. Instead of bringing me a bill, he asked me to look at the computer screen, requested I pay in cash, and automatically charged a 20% tip—then even asked for more. In the end, I gave 10% extra without really understanding why, since it all happened so quickly.<br><br>The worst part came after I left. As soon as I got home, I developed severe diarrhea. The problem continued into the next day as well, which makes me suspect the food was not fresh or safe.<br><br>⚠️ My advice: Please avoid eating at this restaurant—or at least do not order the Pokarskiy cutlet.
This is one of the very few Russian restaurants left standing in nyc that has a 5 star experience each time you go. Ive been to two birthday parties here with the banquet inside with live shows. Each time I have been here the tables and decor is beautiful, the service has been outstanding and the food was excellent from start to finish. You will get the full russian experience of a five course meal with cold cut plates, pickled plates, elegant french salads, bread and butter baskets and then mains of kebabs with fried potatoes, short ribs, shrimps, paella style rice and lamb chops. I also love how you can BYOB which is a big part of the experience. The drinks keep flowing with unlimited pitchers of russian fruit punch and sodas. I love the entertainment here, they have really good russian dancers who do a global show of can can dancing, tango and flamenco, ballet, folk dancing and belly dancing. I also love the way they sing happy birthday for all guests, you can so a group photo and the mc calls your group to light your candles. I love how the dj and live singers keep the party going all night with the latest hits that are russian american latino and jewish too(they also take any requests). I have easily partied here both occasions until 2 am, they know how to engage with the crowd and please everyone . Dessert is also included in banquet with fresh fruit coffee tea and pastries. I have not been a fan of their pastries thus far, theyve been dry and lack luster. I hope they can invest in more options like cookies and baked goods , not just some sad dry napolean cakes. Otherwise everything else has been tasty thus far.
Came for an afternoon lunch. Service was great and very attentive. They let us sit at our table for a long time without rushing over to clear anything which was appreciated. The Greek salad was very fresh and lovely.
For a prime outdoor seating experience on the Brighton Beach boardwalk, this is the place. You can enjoy a Baltika or cocktail with unobstructed beach views, a rarity in this neighborhood for dining al fresco. While Brighton offers a plethora of fantastic Russian and Uzbek culinary options, the real value of this establishment lies in its unique real estate. Yes, the service can be a bit lax, but everything slows down on the beach.
Great location for a restaurant in warm months. It has a bay view. Tables are right on the boardwalk. Breathing fresh bay breeze while enjoying your meal or just a cup of tea. That's exactly why we came for.<br>We were looking for a place where we had tea with fresh black bread and butter, but couldn't find it, I believe they closed, so we stopped here.<br>We had tea in a tea pot with fresh pastries (Medovik, which is Honey pastry, and Sirniki) . Everything was very delicious and very fresh. Just by drinking tea with the sweets, we got so full, didn't have a place for dinner.<br>The service was fast. The waitress was very polite and nice.<br>I love this restaurant and recommend it.<br>Brighton Beach, Brooklyn, New York
Highly recommend! Far from your casual (or cheap) boardwalk takeout, this buttoned up boardwalk delight serves excellent food with great people watching. The servings are generous. The dishes are spot on and the service is efficient. Give the surprisingly delightful fresh vegetable salad a try. The red borsch is crisp and refreshing. Consider the black mussels. They have a delicious savory ocean brine to them. The homemade honey cake is a subtle treat. Enjoy!
So we had no idea we were gunna eat here. We wanted to go to the beach and came across this place and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised! The cheese in the adjaruli was so fresh and delicious! The mussels were yummy but they were quite salty, I would ask them to not add salt if you order them and the calamari were great! The owner came by our table to talk to us which was nice and he was happy we were there trying the place out! I think this’ll be even better in the summer!
