“ Place is easily reach by any means of transport. We stayed in prospect 5 and walk there for about 20 mins. They have staff who understand english and also menu in english, it spared us the hassle. Decoration is unique with a homey feeling. Menu provides plenty of option, i think it is semi fine-dining because some of the visitor wear nice clothes as we only wear short and shirt. We order their cocktail specialty tea and it came with a nice appearance and tasted okay but a bit pricey. The steak is not as tender as we want but eatable. The dumpling come in a greasy soup, and we didnt like it since it felt sticky and oily in our tounge. For 5 of us, it cost around 7000 rubel. Yes, it is an upper medium taste and a bit pricey but the service is worth it for us visitor who didnt understand the local languange. ”
