Awesome upscale Eastern European restaurant that is decorated like grandma's home. The TV plays old Eastern European television shows, which is very cool ! The house infused vodkas are AMAZING ! The apps, entree's and deserts were FABULOUS !

I really enjoyed this restaurant. It was such a cute place to eat. It looks a lot like an old-fashioned dining room of your great-grandmother. I am a vegetarian, and I felt like there were some tasty options on the menu for me. I had their cheese pie and the eggplant salad. The eggplant salad was spectacular. It had small chunks of breaded fried eggplant, very tasty cherry tomatoes, and warmed cream cheese. Sounds unusual, but it really was very delicious. The service was amazing. The waiters were super friendly and did not rush us to leave even though we took our time talking, etc.

The food does taste like a true Slavic cuisine! We made a last minute reservation and the restaurant was very accommodating. I will be back for the dessert.

Tried to sit down at one of the nine empty tables out front as it had nice sun. We were told we couldn't just get drinks, that we had to order food, as they had to save the tables for dining guests. There were nine tables and zero people. Went to Gramercy Tavern across the street instead and had amazing drinks. Best part was we had a great view of the empty table at Mari Vanna and all nine remained empty for two hours. Gramercy was happy to take our $200 in beverages.

Visited your restaurant a couple of days ago — as always, everything was perfect! The food was delicious, the staff super friendly, and the whole atmosphere felt so warm and homey, like visiting good friends. But this time, the signature cocktails completely blew us away! Both mine and my friend’s were a solid 100 out of 100. The balance of sweet, sour, and alcohol was just spot on. Bartender Yakov is truly talented! Huge thanks to him for making our evening even more special. We had such a great time — thank you!
Got crazy drunk from vodka. True Russian experience.

We stumbled across the Mari Vana in DC that has since closed, so this trip to NYC, we made it a point to put it on the must-eat list and make a reservation. We had a cocktail, Eastern European beer, zucchini fitters, lamb shank, stragonoff, a dessert (that was delicious, huge and I don’t remember the name) and everything was wonderful. The whole dinner was an experience and the decor was absolutely on point. Get the stragonoff. Had it twice now and I’ll be back for that.
We booked to celebrate our birthdays, and it was mentioned on the reservation, none of the staff members mentioned, or congratulated.

Mari Vanna in DC was closed, so I came all the way here to try my favorite food. And… it didnt disappoint! I really liked the food, especially olivye, dumplings, and kotletka po kievski. Music was not Russian, like it used to be, but it was still great house music which honestly didnt disappoint. The drinks were interesting and delicious. Moscow Mule was so good, on Kvass too! The bathrooms are all written. My favorite sign says: Putin Khyilo (Sucks! )Then the Sucks is crossed out and it says “Molodets!” (Great guy!) and that is crossed out to say “Vor!” (robber) and the r on that is crossed out so it says “Vo!??” (Is Awesome!). This was so funny, it honestly made my day. Service was great, everyone was definitely slavic (not as if it matters, but it just gave me a home-style atmosphere). I really enjoyed the vibe! Will come again!
