The food was wonderfully prepared and attractive when served. It was locally sourced and very tasty. Portions were just right and the decor was just perfect! I can't wait to go back again.

I absolutely loved everything I had. The smells, the visuals, it was all perfect. I felt like I was on vacation.

Sad to see this place close. An excellent upscale and approachable experience. Outstanding service and drinks. You can absolutely tell the food is prepared with love and care...but I can see how the menu may not be for everyone. Apps like chicken hearts on a skewer are very tasty, local and uses the animal in a unique and bountiful way...I enjoyed them very much with my Manhattan. But I assume dishes like that are under appreciated in CR.

I can't believe I didn't go here earlier. Food was incredible, atmosphere was incredible, service was incredible. Ethan's enthusiasm about the food and where it was sourced from was a very happy and unexpected touch. This place is great for a date night or a larger celebration. We will definitely be back!Parking: Parking off alley in back

Our favorite spot in Cedar Rapids by far. We love the atmosphere this restaurant provides. Their cocktails and bartenders are the best in the area by far and highly recommend to anyone. You can tell the love and passion they put into the food and we are incredibly sad to lose a place like this later on this year. We will continue to visit Rodina as many times as possible before then, but we wanted to say thank you for helping to elevate the food scene here.

By far the best dining experience in the Cedar Rapids - Iowa City corridor. From the handmade pasta to the perfected pork, steak and game dishes to the innovative preparation of seasonal vegetables, your tastebuds will thank you for visiting. Further, the classic and nouveau cocktails easily beat out area competitors in their balance and perfection. Rodina uniquely transports their guests all the way home to the very best of Grandma's homemade meals while delivering an elegant and elevated experience - a magic that is all their own.

Very interesting menu, local fresh ingredients. Really delicious menu. We came for brunch, I had the French toast with fresh whipped cream, and it was amazing. I also had bites of other’s selections at my table, the ground pork & veal steak, rabbit fries: all of it was delicious. Definitely will be coming back for brunch, and checking out their other menus. If I could give more than 5 stars I would!The atmosphere is so warm and chic. It was pretty quiet when we came in Sunday morning so we enjoyed it not being too loud.Vegetarian options: Sister in law had the mushroom toast and she loved it!

I never expected to find such a gem in Cedar Rapids. I wondered in on a Monday night and was able to grab a spot at the bar. Since I had an early day on Tuesday, I was not indulging in adult beverages but was able to order a limeade that was every bit as satisfying as a cocktail. For my meal, I ordered the Monday night oyster special--$1.75/ea. That was a deal! and the $21 dinner salad--not a deal. I also ordered a side of bread that was toasted and delicious. While the salad was pricey, the serving size was large and it was filled with apples, cranberries and veggies. I truly enjoyed it.Service was excellent. Both bartenders were attentive and chatty. I felt welcome and will definitely go back on my next IA visit.
