Potato Dumplings
Elsa L.

Had a great time here - I've always been a fan of Russian food and was looking for somewhere to dine in St. Louis. We had a large group of around 10 diners and they were able to accommodate us which was very nice. The food was very good - loved the pelmeni and borscht!

I didn't get to come because their hours is kind of different. I will come and eat tonight and then give my honest opinion. They are CLOSED from 2pm to 5pm

Russian vodka

I ate at this restaurant for a coworkers 10 year anniversary party. We were served family style with some of the food options being off menu. The table setting was really nice and our group rented out the entire restaurant. We started with a slew of appetizers and booze. So many appetizers I can't remember the names of any of them, however I can say I thoroughly enjoyed everything I tried. I really enjoyed the salads, pickled veggies, stuffed fish and the smoked fish appetizers. We enjoyed Russian Standard Vodka as well as one of the most delectable Georgian red wines I've ever tasted. After we'd gorged ourselves on appetizers the main entrees were served. We were all a little surprised and wishing we hadn't devoured the apps, because the lamb rice was outstanding! We also ate baked chicken that was super yummy as well. I'll definitely return to this restaurant. The owner is spunky and the service was great! Plus I love good vodka.

Borscht

Finally, I got the family to eat here with me for a special occasion. Fortunately, ever enjoyed it and I loved it. My grandmother, who was Lithuanian, used to make beat soup and meat dumplings for me when I was growing up. The Russian/Ukrainian versions are slightly different, but the this one of only a couple places in the St. Louis area where I can get anything close. The borscht (beat soup) and Pelmini (meat dumplings) were excellent. My sons both really liked the pelmini. They're juicy and flavorful and perfect with sour cream. The borscht was chock full of beat and potato and athe ingredients were tender. Everyone also liked the meat blinsis. They're a bit like a mini burrito in appearance. The meat is different than in the dumplings in that it is minced- more like the consistency of ravioli filling. We were less impressed with the smoked fish and caviar. But tue octopus salad that came with the smoked fish was delicious. As far as entrées, we were all blown away by the lamb and chicken kebabs. Maybe the best kebabs I've had. Finally, we shared vareniki for dessert. They're another dumpling. This time filled with cheese and cherry filling. Exceeded expectations. I'll definitely be back.

Terrible food, loud music, claustrophobic place. Unless you crave a good poisoning do not go there

My friend and I got the Barrel Experience for our guys for Christmas and we just made the…read morereservation on March. We had so much fun! Steven was an amazing guide and has the whole place set up perfectly. I would recommend eating before you come, they do have snacks, that were really good, but nothing like a heavy dinner, which we probably needed. And I think i might have drank the whole gallon of water just trying to keep my self sane. Ha! Water is abundant. The guys got to rate all the kinds of whiskey and then make their own bottle, they got to name their bottle and we brought home 2 glasses. What I really paid for was the Barrel Experience and a tasting. I could see this spot getting very busy on the weekends, so I will say we went on a Thursday and we basically had the place to ourselves. There is plenty of comfy seating and the place has such great decor. If you or your partner like Whiskey, you need to check this out!

The owner was super friendly and even seemed happy to have me there which was awesome. I settled on a glass of Salted caramel Old Fashioned which packed a punch! He mentioned to me about their other special offerings and they also have a small bites menu to help offset those libations. Definitely a nice change of pace

It was not great and we had no intention of going back. A while after that, we knew someone who played in a band that was playing at Satchmo's. We ate before we went there with another couple. There was nobody there (other than us) that wasn't "with the band" and that was only about 6-8 people. I had heard they were under new ownership and that it was way better than before. Some friends asked us to join them there on a Friday night and we went. It was so much better than it had been, but there weren't very many people there. Honestly, I think they should have changed the name. I have discovered that a lot of people didn't like it and hadn't realized there was a change in ownership. We had no trouble getting a table! Both our server, and the bartender, were great! Unfortunately I didn't get their names. They were both fun and took good care of us. The menu looks pretty good. The space was nice and clean. There are a lot of televisions - lots of games can be watched! I would say my only issue was my entree. I got the fish and chips, which I believe was a special. It wasn't great. It was two pieces of fish that were a bit too greasy and some fries. No slaw or anything else. We would definitely go back!
