   The flavor of all five dishes we tried was wonderful, especially if you love dill. We had a late seating at 9:30 pm, after the CSO performance, and were prepared to order, didn’t ask for anything special, and just felt a little rushed. Most of the food was not very warm. We were also told one dish was not available as they had run out, but saw others being served that dish. Overall we did enjoy the food and would consider coming back. It was a lovely space and we enjoyed the decor and atmosphere.

   The food and service were fabulous! The music could be a bit softer for conversation. We were at a table for 2 and it would be very difficult to hear anyone else at a larger table.

   This was my second visit to Sudova and my experience was EXCELLENT in all respects each time! My servers each time were wonderful: friendly, helpful, informative and attentive to the right degree (i.e. not annoyingly attentive!) This last visit we were served by Johnna. I LOVE this place and will definitely return!

   Sudova is a superlative addition to the great dining scene downtown. We were warmly greeted for our 6:30 reservaton on a Tuesday night, the narrow space already busy with many full tables. The food harkens to the Ukranian background of the owner with contemporary innovationss. A simple vinaigrette salad with golden beets, arugula, fennel and caraway was a perfect starter before sharing flavorful stuffed cabbage rolls with tomato sauce - yum! Michael was friendly and unpretentious, helping us select a perfect bottle of Slovenian wine to go with our sumptious meal. The short rib stroganoff over polenta was beautifully plated, fragrant, and absolutely delicious. The kefir-brined and fried chicken filets with snap peas and dill sauce was a delightfully light mix of texture, color and flavors. Save room for the airy wildflower honey cake - so memorably good. We can't wait to go again and enjoy great cuisine in a comfy setting with absolutely terrific staff.

    I did not know what to expect for "Eastern European Comfort Food" and I was pleasantly surprised on how great Sudova was! I don't quite remember what we ordered: some grain-centered appetizer, a dumpling and the cheesy bread bowl. Each dish was distinct in flavor and presentation ... and each one was delicious. Even though the dishes follow the shareable/small plate model, each plate was satisfying and, after three plates, my wife and I were pleasantly satiated.
