We celebrated a birthday at Premier. The atmosphere here is perfect for celebrating a birthday, lively, full of energy, with live music and dancing. The food was hit or miss, some dishes were just okay, not everything wowed us. The manager was super kind and welcoming, which I really appreciated. That said, the place wasn't crowded, yet our table was tucked away in a corner far from the action, even though there was clearly room to be closer to the show. Service started off a bit cold, the waitstaff didn't seem very attentive or friendly. But midway through dinner, we got a new waitress who was much nicer and more engaging. I wish I remembered her name because she definitely improved the experience. Overall, it was a fun night with good vibes, even if a few details missed the mark. read more

Last year I brought many of my American friends here for my birthday and I was so disappointed because the amount of food was minuscule and there was not enough food to go around for everyone. It was embarrassing. I was very surprised at the amount and quality of food there was here last night. Huge improvement. My friends had the same tier as I did last year, but there was way more food. You can choose different levels/tiers of food amount to be brought. The way it works is choose your level and then the food you chose just keeps coming out throughout the night. The amount and quality - Bravo. Entertainment also a big improvement. read more

This place is a hoot! It is a jampacked night filled with tons of entertainment, and so much food! I was a guest at a birthday dinner party couple weeks ago on a Saturday night and I must say I have never heard of this place before. It is tucked away in a small plaza in Studio City and parking is free for the most part unless you choose to valet. Inside you'll find a banquet hall type of settings where each table is reserved for special parties. As far as the food goes, you name it and they have it. They served as different types of fish, lobster salad, shrimp, cocktail, chicken, duck, kebabs, steak, etc., the courses were never ending and there was unlimited amounts of wine and some kind of hard liquor. As far as entertainment goes, there were belly dancers, there was Marilyn Monroe impressionist, there was a DJ for dancing, and multiple live singers as well. Almost everything is in Russian though and since I don't understand Russian, I wasn't sure what was going on most of the time, but some songs were in English and the belly dancing was toArabic music and I think they played a couple of Armenian songs as well. It is definitely a place to go if you want to experience a Russian style banquet party and as far as pricing goes, I'm not too sure how much it cost but I'm pretty sure it is quite expensive!! read more

We Celebrated our grandson's Birthday last week, very happy with Premier Restaurant service, staff was very friendly and efficient! Food and entertainment was excellent! Manager is very professional and friendly! Thank you guys!!! read more

While food and service were OK, administrators behavior was completely out of line. He was making absolutely rude requests not to comfortably sit on the sofas in the bar, as well as requesting small children not to play under the tables in absolutely rude manner. He didn't allow to take video of him, eventhough his behavior was a public matter. Would never go there again and will never recommend this place! read more

Great ambiance. Amazing food and spread. Dance floor huge and service team was really great with all the food moving around

Fantastic new restaurant with Las Vegas style entertainment and reasonable Russian foods adds to a great evening fun and memorable experience if you are into paying high price for all night dancing and drinking and eating! I recommend that you try everything once. The foods are not as elaborate or memorable as the famous Maxim Russian restaurant at Fairfax, but for $120 per person, it was decent and deserves 5 stars for the service staffs and excellent entertainment as well! Herring and pickled white fish for cold foods were delicious and freshly oven cooked white cod was definitely delicious. Please, try! You must for a very special occasion! read more

We celebrate my friends birthday at Premier for the first time. To be honest, I was not expecting too much from Russian restaurant. As I know how rude customer services in that places. Well, I was pleasantly surprised with this restaurant. Everything starting from food to service and show was amazing. Never tried such a fresh and delicious food in banquette restaurants. The owner Sam is very sweet person, we had a pleasure to meet him. Also the manager Arsen always there making sure everything looks good. Thank you to the premier team for amazing experience. We definitely will come back! Food: 5/5 Service: 5/5 Atmosphere: 5/5 read more

We were there for a party. The venue is nice inside. Food was great. Recommend for events

Everything we ate at Premier was SO good. Their food is literally better than probably 99% of restaurants in LA.

I was here yesterday for nye and the food was horrible, the entertainment was not up to par. They started playing music 15 minutes before midnight. and I didn't even realize when the countdown had begun. Everything was in russian I didn't understand a word and everything was unorganized, I left very hungry at 2am in the morning. I paid a lot of money to be here and left very disappointed. never coming back read more

Food is no good , service 0, the place is like 65's ,the price is "high "we had kind of fun

Worst Customer Service Ever! Made me pay $25 for entry + Cognac drink. Then 10 minutes later asked me to leave in the impolite way. They kept asking me not to stand with the drink next to dance floor, even though I had no other place to stay or sit. I asked what was the problem, and they said you finish this drink and get out! This is after we delivered Flowers to their business, I still had to pay $25 to get in and be kicked out without reason! read more

Like seriously? You guys better wash your products before cooking and putting it on the table. We were there yesterday-great music (pretty loud though), amazing singers, we had amazing server Andrew. The food was great that we decided to take everything home, whatever we didn't finish -and this morning I'm eating breakfast and the parsley has caterpillar on it. I don't know how many I ate until I noticed the first one! It's not a poison but emotionally very disturbing. How you guys can serve food like that?? It's a violation! Not properly washed -only that's why 1 Star. That can go to the court right here read more

I absolutely love this restaurant. The food is so delicious and there is such a big varity in terms of dishes and appetizers. I have been to many Russian & Armenian restaurants over the years and this restaurant really goes above and beyond in terms of food, venue, entertainment and service. The appetizers at the beginning include fresh Sashimi and so many fish dishes like salmon, caviar, pickled veggies, and salads to name a few. Then the hot dishes start arriving and we had at least 6-7 hot dishes and then such tasty apple pie with ice cream and a big plate of fruits at the end. The service was impeccable! We went to Romanov restaurant 2 years ago and I was left so underwhelmed by the service and care we received there. I felt like that place has really gone downhill in terms or service and even the dishes served. Here, no matter if you are a party of 6 like us or a big party of 20+ people the servers are super attentive and really go above and beyond to make sure people are having a good time. The entertainment was top notch with live music and they play many requests. Of course all the classics were performed and also a good amount of Russian and Armenian songs. There is also a dance show and professional dancers performed. I also loved that the owner of the venue was super on top of everything and he walked around and made sure everyone was happy and had everything they need. Judging by the fact that so many people were celebrating bdays, anniversaries, etc. this was the place to be last Saturday night. Everyone in our party really had the best time! read more

This business is in violation of the California Unruh Civil Rights Act. I attempted to make a dinner reservation tonight, casually mentioning that it would be for my brother and myself. Initially, the reservation was confirmed. A few minutes later, the restaurant calls me back to cancel the reservation, explaining that they cannot provide service to two guys by themselves. I intend to file a complaint with DFEH. read more

Nine experience! Great food and entertainment. We celebrated my birthday there with a group of 20 people. Everyone had lots of fun. They had different singers and all of them were very talented. We also enjoyed the shows. Will definitely go back again. read more

We came to LA for Garik's 75th birthday celebration and haven't been to Premier before. We were impressed. I hope my review confirms your thoughts about partying here. The cuisine was delicious, plentiful, fresh and authentic. 10/ 10. The staff was wonderful and attentive. Ambience was fabulous. Beautiful tableware, clean and pleasing to the eye. The bathroom was clean and the lounge area/ bar gives the ambience of a Vegas night scene. Drinks at the bar were generous and priced well. Musicians were talented providing entertainment from Russian, Armenian and American genre, even a little Latin mix to get you moving! Dance floor was lively and songs made you want to dance. The show was a plus plus! Overall fantastic night! Time flew by and we were sad when 2 am rolled around! Wish we had Premier venue in SF! Thanks for an amazing party to remember celebrating our Papa's birthday! Definitely on our radar to visit in future! read more

Came here for a birthday party last Friday. The live music for the most part was great. The food was also very good, and there was so much of it. The club/restaurant vibe is amazing, you can eat, dance, take a break, have a shot, dance again and eat. It was very fun for everyone that went. Will definitely want to have another event there probably in a Saturday, from what I understand there's a more hip young vibe on the a Saturday vs Friday. read more

Worst place to ring in the new year, it was a waste of money, makeup and outfit. Service was horrible, food was just bad, music was terrible and not a single champagne bottle was passed out or served for people to welcome the new year. I literally never experienced new year this horrible anywhere else, I'm lost for words. I highly don't recommend reserving this place for any of your events or even showing up to someone's event ! 0 stars !!!! read more

It was a lot of fun! It's a type of Russian cabaret with belly dancers, cossack dancers and fire dancers. The food was plentiful and a live band provided dance music. Would definitely return read more

First of all unwelcoming stuff, absolute luck of service!.. waiters were never there to serve drinks/or else... we would pour our drinks ourselves and then the waiters would at times appear only to get tips... throughout all the time we were sitting there, around 5 hrs, the waiters came to our table probably 3-4 times... yet I told one of them that it would've been cool if you'd guys look at our table at times and see whether we needed drinks or whatever... Music was horrible, so as the ppl playing the music... lots of discrimination which I didn't appreciate at all! And let me finish with food! FOOD-was HORRIBLE, not tasty at all... the portions were small and in the $120 menu, you pretty much didn't get anything! WAAAY TOO OVERPRICED!!! With that amount, you can eat anywhere else in the town or the surrounding areas and have the best menu with everything included (including red caviar)... Their fish was cheap, kebabs were super small, you should've add 4 kebabs together, so it would equal to one regular kebab from other restaurants... Desert was another story, the amount of cookie chopped and the scoop of ice cream was so little, that we couldn't even share with the party of 6 people!!! It didn't even come as separate to each and individual! Coffee! How they served the coffee, clueless! At the end, when we were already leaving the "restaurant" I found the coffee cups and apparently the cold already coffee on the corner of the other table, however, it was late and no one from the waiters bothered to serve us some coffee! Bottom line I came home hungry and had to eat something not to sleep with empty stomach lol... Restrooms messy and dirty! Will I ever come back? Nope! Never! Horrible experience! Waste of money! All these people cared was $$$$ to rip off the clients! That's it! read more

Too tipsy to check in ! - ooops. My work held their annual celebration at Premier this year and well here goes my experience MUSIC: My sister and I were perhaps the only non-Russian people there and I was looking forward to their music so you can only imagine how bummed I was when they hardly played it - I love dancing to Russian music! Their performing singers were so much fun and really know how to deliver an enthusiastic atmosphere. The songs sang could have been a bit more upbeat but regardless I enjoyed hearing them sing live. Bravo! LOCATION - It's not big - quite small actually however it's lovely inside. The restrooms were kept clean and there is a cute-sized dance-floor w/ a stage for performers. SERVICE - Reason for the missing star. Service could have def. been better. We kept being spoken to in Russian by the servers even after we informed we only spoke English. I also felt a catty vibe from the female servers and when I asked about a certain drink or dish, I felt like I was being ridiculed or spoken to sarcastically. I'm a strong believer when a party pays thousands of dollars for a one night event , service should be A-1. Nevertheless, what a fun evening! read more

Premier Restaurant & Bar - Dance your soul - Russian Near Me - Studio City, California

Claustrophobic, curtains on all the walls. Food wasn't bad. Music was way too loud. Service was okay but so expensive.

RED LIGHTS though a MARBLE?!? Walking in I noticed that they had a really cool bar... which was highly decorated with RED lights (marble like) every were. Even the floor had spaced red light boxed effects coming through it, which gave it a cool lounging area. The seating area had red (modern) chairs. Quite unique. Walking through towards the dining area, I noticed that there was a Russian band playing music and singling. Seemed to me like I was going to get my boggy on! Do note: the dining area is a banquet hall type of an area. The food was amazing, they kept bring verity after verity of different tasteful (mouth watering) foods. I highly recommend coming here to either enjoy a great time by the lounge area or have small or big parties/occassions. A+ 5 STARS read more

One of the best Russian restaurants in LA. My hubby and I come here almost every weekend. I love their ahi tuna and salmon sashimi, the price is $30, but it's so delicious and absolutely worth it! Also sea-bass in red pepper sauce is very good! The live music here is so much fun;)) usually singers sing in english or italian, sooo romantic;)) read more

horrible place, what a fraud! The online Menu is fictitious; forget it! Lies; there is no sturgeon: not one of the dishes they force unto you tastes even faintly as what they advertise. No a la Carte on Saturday; the manager simply doesn't give you an option; she is like: only banquet is available. That is one has to spend !25$ per person on shity food. Crammed place, false advertisement. read more

That is a great place for not very big banquets. In our case there was live music, everything was very delicious, and looked pleasant. Great, friendly waiters, and the service is great in general. I think that portions were not big enough, but in general it is a good place that leaves people satisfied. Five stars for sure! read more
