Has always been the best place for Russian food. Yesterday was different. Karacho (apart from a smaller, than usual, portion) was watery, very little meat. Schnitzel was OK, but overall very mediocre. Do you, guys, have a new chef?

The place is very cute, has indoor and outdoor tables. Food is very delicious. Due to hot summer weather we came to have okroshka and so far it is the best okroshka from many other Russian style food places. The service is extremely fast and nice. They also have their own cat who lives inside the restaurant, he walks around tables, rubs around. I highly recommend this place for authentic Ukrainian/russian food

very good soup solyanka, extremely good vareniki. Portion size for vareniki is full meal size despite classification as appetizer. Dont eat bread if you want the vareniki with something else

great location, near the metro and the beach. two guys waiters were friendly and polite. we ordered ukrainian borscht and greek salad. the food was delicious. the compote was also delicious and fresh. the prices are a bit expensive. i recommend visiting

Is this sausage lol?
I am Polish this is shameful, worst thing. And yet the photos on here show a beautiful kielbasa I know and love…
Food was good. Service was bad. We had to ask for water and bread, other tables were served this immediately. Forgot my compote. We felt like we were treated differently for some reason. We are Russian and Polish just don't feel like speaking the language sometimes!
I won't come back and it's a pity because the food is good, apart from the sausage, the compote is delicious, but the waiter served us without any notice, thank you, спасибо за еду

Walked in with a group and was immediately sat at a lovely corner table, the warm atmosphere and friendly waiter were only hints of what was to come.

Tender vareniki, plump cabbage roll, exciting pickled veg plate, hefty kielbasa, and a crisp yet juicy shitnzel, ending with their triumphant blintzes.

Perfect dinner!

I do not recommend this place. I had dumplings . Terrible quality. There are bones and something that cannot be eaten. Be careful!

During my visit to the establishment, I politely requested a tissue from the owner. However, the owner became agitated and inquired about the financial responsibility for providing the tissue, emphasizing that it was their personal expense. It came to my attention that the owner had created a seating area within the street parking zone. While I lack the expertise to determine its legality, I assume that the city has granted permission for such an arrangement.

Due to my wife’s Russian/Ukrainian heritage we ended up at the Ocean View Cafe
It’s a typical ethnic Restaurant which is frequented by local Russians which also explains their very good Russian/Ukrainian cuisine
Very friendly service and nice atmosphere.
A place I would very much visit again when in Brooklyn.
