Rarely do I write reviews...so bear with me:\r

I remember coming here as a child and loving the food. Even now, the food is the truest in the area to that my grandmother and aunts prepare. I live out of the area, but try to come at least once a year. I especially love the borscht (which is the best I have been served in a restaurant) and the combination plates are nice when I take my friends want to try Ukrainian food. My personal favorite are the verniki. True, no salo...but I don't know how much of that they would sell (I can't imagine having it...my parents yes...me no). It is sad that there are not more places that serve Ukrainian food, especially in an area that was so Ukrainian in the 60s.\r

Service has been friendly and no, they do not rush you out.\r

I would not speak Russian/expect the staff to speak Russian in a place that advertises as a Ukrainian restaurant. True, many people from Ukraine speak Russian...but Ukrainian, similar as it is, is a different language.\r

This is definitely a place that you have to try if you are curious about Ukrainian food.
