Planning to visit here and just wanted to support a Russian Restaurant after all of the discrimination Russian businesses are facing via reviews by Ukrainians who have never even visited the businesses.Hoping to visit you guys soon and try your food. I'm sorry you have to deal with this but they are only showing their true colors.Best wishes and С наступающим! ?

It was a delightful home like, very warm atmosphere in the place for a wedding. The staff was very attentive, professional and efficient. Great food, beautiful, colorful, contemporary and elegant presentation of every dish.The table looked like a colorful tapestry! Best Russian restaurant in Chicago!

Just celebrated very important date for me and people who were participating in everything that’s been going on lately in my life. I didn’t know nothing about this place until I got referred here by my friend and put my foot into the door of this restaurant. I can’t be thankful enough for the atmosphere and warmness From all the staff that has been participating in my party and party is not over, but I’ll tell you one thing people, if you’re confused or got to the point in this life that you don’t know what is the best way to go, honestly, come to 12 Chairs and I guarantee you will understand clearly what I’m trying to tell you about this place just go and see it for your self, bravo guys thank you so much for everything and God bless you!!!

Don't, just don't. Cold meats looked and tasted like they are old, hot plates just terrible, microwaved and still terrible for that. And then the bill comes and it's like you went somewhere actually nice. Save your money, and mostly your stomach

We ordered from here tonight and the food was amazing! My toddler actually ate the salad (she never touches lettuce usually). Ordered via Grubhub and the restaurant was out of one appetizer so they called, apologized and suggested other options. Great service and great food!
This is the best place to find Eastern European cuisine. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Especially with guests who are not familiar with the Russian names of dishes on the menu. My personal advice is to order their Caesar salad, it's just amazing, I finally found guys who make it with the right sauce and not mayo. The snacks are also good. Bring your friends, especially if they want to try Russian food. Oh yeah, the reviews below are absolute lies. It looks like someone is eliminating competitors in this way, or is taking revenge for something. I can't find any other explanation for that bs...

I’ve been visited this place two times. The first time I was so hungry and, I believed that, I was wrong (about quality of dishes and service)… and second (and the last one) time was so angry, cause I’ve met there really unprofessional stuff, the food wasn’t so homemade as expected… Fortunately, I’ve know how delicious can be the real Ukrainian cuisine .. Frankly speaking, that Traktir I’d rather don’t recommend you to go to

It felt like I was treated here not like a costumer but one of the staff or worse. Something is wrong with this place.

My first time here and I ordered a ribeye with salad and it was GREAT! The people are great, the decor is nicely done and they have an excellent sound system and stage for events and Karaoke! The owners are great people and I will be back! ?????? I took a photo with the owners ??
