Horrible experience, staff were rude. They lack proper etiquette, maybe because of their cultural difference. Food was a disappointment, so I won't be coming back

A delicious meal before catching a cozy show at the 4 Star across the street. The stroganoff is a must-try! Come with a group to try their many small dishes!! The zucchini with smoked salmon was an especially delightful bite!

Good service, the food though was disappointing. Soup was average, served with no bread on side. When we asked for a bread we were given a lowest quality loaf with no taste and structure for $3 even though you can find good russian/slavic bakeries in the neighborhood from where you can source a decent bread. Salad was dry and ingredients felt as the cheapest ones you could get. The german beer on tap was alright. Far from a good deal for your money, prices feel unfair.

Tasty and authentic Russian cuisine, with a pleasant wait staff. I only wish the wine list had been more varied. Red and whites were exclusively Georgian and expensive. The list could surely have been augmented with some reasonably priced California wines.

The most DELICIOUS Russian food I've had in the US, outside of my mom and grandma's cooking. An absolute must if you are in SF.

I had the beef stroganoff and blinis and the stroganoff in particular was incredible and the best I've legitimately ever had. If I'm ever in town again, I'm definitely stopping here.

Overpriced mediocre food. Had high hopes. The owner is very rude and won't take any criticism. Menu description is misleading.
We have had several family dinners here and the food never disappoints along with the friendly service. Everything on the menu is fantastic and freshly cooked. The family favorite is certainly the beef stroganoff but you can't go wrong on anything else on the menu!

Today marked my first visit to Red Tavern, and I’m already counting the days until I return with friends in tow. From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed into a cozy, flavorful corner of culinary tradition.
The Kvass was a revelation—rich, full-bodied, and deeply satisfying. It’s the kind of beverage that speaks to craft and care, setting the tone for the rest of the meal. Then came the Goulyash: a hearty, aromatic dish that was entirely new to me. It was boldly seasoned, perfectly balanced, and so comforting that I found myself lingering over every bite.
Red Tavern doesn’t just serve food, it delivers an experience that warms you from the inside out. I’ll absolutely be returning with a full party, ready to share this fantastic find. Highly recommended for anyone looking to explore something fresh and deeply rooted in tradition.
