In Short – The West Coast counterpart to the legendary Russian Tea Room may be restaurateur Mikayel Israyelan's Hollywood ode to the Tsar's Winter Palace. The theater-style dining room is highlighted with 24-carat gold-leaf ceilings, massive chandeliers and mahogany accents. A large stage features a grand pianist on weekdays and Russian gypsies on weekends. Classical Russian cuisine includes quail kiev, Pozharsky croquettes, oxtail braised with juniper berries, and tableside-carved whole roast duck stuffed with apples. The charcoal grill offers prime steaks, lamb and a bone-in Delmonico…

Beautiful atmosphere & great entertainment
by Evilrabbit at Citysearch
A friend of mine took a group of us to this restaurant. I have to say that the atmosphere is by far the best I have been too. It kinda reminds you of old Hollywood with rich woods, dark red curtains, live band, and dance floor. There were 9 in our group so we had the buffet menu. I ordered the ribeye steak while my husband got the lamb chops. Prior to the main course coming to our table, we had ridiculously amounts of appetizers, cold salads, hot dishes, wine, vodka, etc., etc. It took a long time to get our main courses served to us, but it was worth the wait. The steak was amazing and my husband said they really know how to cook lamb, so I'm assuming that means it was good. The band played non stop, the dance floor was full and at some point some beautiful women in skimpy costumes got onto the bar and danced. Then at around midnight the acrobat show started. WOW! We left shortly after the acrobat show so not sure what happens from midnight to closing, but I'm sure we missed something special.
- Pros: Entertainment
- Cons: Service

WAY OVERPRICED
by nlease at Citysearch
This is definitely more of a club than a restaurant. Food is average at best, but prices are higher than at Spago. Been there twice - second time ate before and brought my own wine and therefore enjoyed it more. Entertainment is o'key - they have one jazzy singer that is good. Interiors are beautiful, but overall everything is a bit sleazy and pretentious.
- Pros: interiors
- Cons: everything else
