I had a fantastic experience at this restaurant! The food was excellent, and the service was top-notch. The desserts, especially the cakes, are truly outstanding—they're baked fresh every day by skilled professionals with years of experience. Each cake is absolutely delicious. The Plot dish is equally impressive; it's not too oily and is packed with flavor, while remaining moist and tender. The meat is perfectly cooked, making it easy to eat without getting caught in your teeth. The drinks were also great, particularly the kvass, which strikes the right balance between creaminess and flavor. Additionally, the homemade Olivie salad is superb; unlike many places that overdo it with mayo, they'...
I've dined at this restaurant on multiple occasions. First and foremost, the food is outstanding 99% of the time. However, I did notice that the chebureki I ordered on two separate visits were not cooked through, just something to keep in mind. Additionally, some of the staff can be rather unfriendly, and it's advisable for the owners to enhance the service to avoid a distinctly Russian-style dining experience. I've ordered catering from them for all our birthdays, and while some may find it pricey, I believe the quality justifies the cost. I really hope they recover from the fire soon so we can return. I should also mention that the owner's replies to the one, two, and three-star reviews ha...
1. The food is outstanding 99% of the time.
2. I've tried the chebureki twice, and they weren't completely cooked, so I'd recommend checking them thoroughly.
3. There are a few staff members who come across as rude, and the owner should address this unless they prefer to stick with a strictly Russian style of service.
4. I've ordered catering from them for all our birthdays. Some people find it pricey, but I think it’s all about recognizing the value of great food.
5. I hope they recover from the fire soon so we can visit again.
6. I'm entertained by the owner's responses to the one- and two-star reviews; they have a distinct Russian touch. It may seem a bit unprofessional, but hey...
I couldn't place an order in advance through DoorDash due to a high volume message, but my experience ordering in person was quick and easy. Plus, there’s something more enjoyable about seeing everything on display and navigating the user-friendly menu, complete with lots of pictures to help you decide. I will definitely be back frequently! I recommend trying everything!

Their homemade olives were also a highlight, made with a recipe that achieves an ideal balance—many restaurants overdo it with mayo, but here they got it just right. I highly recommend this place for special occasions like birthdays and even for more solemn gatherings like funerals. This restaurant definitely earns a five-star rating from me!
That was a great location before it was destroyed by fire. The Russian food there was of high quality, and I hope it will be reopened soon. While the prices are higher than at typical Russian grocery stores, the quality justifies the cost in my opinion.
Everything I tried was excellent. The roasted garlic potatoes were delicious, the chicken stuffed with mushrooms was fantastic, and the rice with beef was perfectly cooked. I will definitely return to sample more of the hot dishes.
Elena's Kitchen always exceeds expectations. We had them cater our wedding, and they went above and beyond by delivering the food to a venue in Truckee that needed off-road driving.
