About this restaurant

  • Romantic
  • Innovative
  • Good for special occasions
Samovar serves up the exotic cuisine of Russia in its bright and elegant eatery. Excellent appetizers to start your meal with include the chebureki, a fried pastry stuffed with chicken, served with a spicy sauce and the smoked fish plate with mackerel, salmon and butterfish. Popular entrees, such as the buttery chicken Kiev, flavorful borsch soup and the lesnaya polyana, with layered potatoes, eggs and plums, are the cuisine we expect of a Russian restaurant, but are so well prepared and flavor-packed that it is delightfully other worldly. For a sweet end to your meal, try one of the homemade desserts, like the honey cake or nutty klyukovka.

For a real decadent treat, try Samovar's caviar bar, available with different grades of caviar served with flaky blintzes.

    We were surprised how bland the dishes were. We have had Russian food before that was much tastier.

    Menu sounded great but was disappointed with food. Mine was a huge plate of rice (which the waiter admitted afterwards that nobody ever finished) with a few pieces of meat that weren't seasoned much. Friend had sausage which was very tasty but she said mashed potatoes that came with it were very bland. Too bad, as there were many things on the menu we would have tried in future visits.

    We went really early so we were the only customers there. Smoked fish plate was wonderful as was the bread. Had the chicken tabaka which was wonderful and the vodka menu is amazing...

    We went for Mother's Day. We waited 30 minutes until anybody came to take our order. The food takes very long too. Even though the restaurant was not full, there were not enough waiters. The lack of waiters should not be our problem though. After 30 minutes wait, my daughter went to complain. After 15 minutes we got our drinks. My mom is in a wheel chair, so we did decide to stay.

    We really like Golden Samovar. With its Eastern European menu, the tastes are unusual and very good. Our bottle of white wine was from Georgia - didn't know wine was made there. My partner had Borscht soup while I had Lentil soup - lots of sour cream and potatoes. Yum! I had a Salad Olivie (Mostly eggs , chicken and potatoes). My partner had a chicken dumplings dish called Golubcy. Excellent fresh bread. We'll be back!

    At 8:10pm, we made a reservation for 8:30pm at a restaurant that was still available on Opentable. Once we arrived, after waiting for several minutes at the front desk, a lady told us that we could have a seat at the bar. Upon telling her that we had a confirmed reservation at 8:30pm, she told us that they had cancelled our reservation, which should appear on my e-mail inbox; we could sit at the bar if we wished. Needless to say, we left. There were no notifications of any kind indicating that our reservation had been cancelled. Beware! Golden Samovar does not honor reservations!

    First, I want to warn everyone that gratuity is included in the bill. When I first visited this place back when they opened, I loved it! Service was good, food was good as well as entertainment. Visited it after that 2 more times and haven't been there for 7 months until yesterday. At first, I was surprised to find the restaurant to be half empty. Service was bad, for example, we had to wait for waiters for at least 10 minutes for them to come to us and ask if we want any food or drinks. They didnt refill our water on time, etc. So 1/5 Entertainment was ok, 3/5. When I ordered food, it was ok for me but my friends ordered another dessert and he noticed that his Napoleon cake wasn't as good it could have been (I don't even want to quote him). 3,5/5 And at the end, I was surprised to see in our bill 20% gratitude. In the picture, it's the picture of the honey cake. However, it was more like Napoleon. I don't think I will visit this place again. P.S. towards the end, it felt like I went back to Russia and I'm in some cheap bar.
