    Came here to meet a friend who is a regular here. I didn't have much expectations coming here and would've never thought to come if not for her. The vibe of the place is really nice and relaxing. They played live jazz which helped set the mood. This is a great place to bring a date or chill with some friends. It's not too loud and has a good atmosphere. I ordered some shots for my friend who loves the strawberry and peach vodka. I ordered the pirozhki at my friend's suggestion. It was my first time having it and wasn't sure what to expect. I thought it tasted alright. One of them had sauerkraut in it which I didn't really enjoy. I'm normally fine with it but in this case it didn't work for me. Between two shots and the food I spend around $40 which I didn't think was too bad. The only person who served us was the bar tender who did her job well. All in all I really enjoyed this place and could see myself coming back. A great place to stop by after a Broadway show!

    My friend had a birthday celebration here and we had the back area to ourselves, which was nice. The place was festively decorated and had a lively atmosphere. We shared several dumplings, including Beef, Lamb, as well as Cherry. The dumplings were perfectly cooked yummy little morsels. My favorite was the Beef, which was well seasoned and tasted even better with the sour cream. The Cherry ones were good as well, and a nice mix of sweet and sour. I wanted to try the Sea Bass, but it was no longer on the menu, so I narrowed it down to Lamb Shank or Short Rib. I went with the Lamb Shank braised in red wine, served with mashed potatoes, carrots and zucchini. I was not impressed. It was a large portion of lamb, but I found it to be quite bland, not as tender as I would like, and on top of that, had a weird after taste. The mashed potatoes were just okay, and veggies were decent. Dessert of Honey Cake was simply delicious! There were delightfully sticky layers, as well as true taste of satisfyingly sweet honey. Service was pretty good. The waitress was on top of it and everything came out in a timely manner. The restaurant even let us play music and dance after we ate. However, I was not happy with my meal so would not return.

    We walked in to the low lighting and qere asked if we wanted to sit up front or the back room. We chose the back room and were seated in a well lit corner. We ordered the 1.5 oz flights. The libations were smooth. The cuisine of potato gravalax and lamb dumplings closed with apple blitzes. We shall return. Great engagement wirh four ladies seated next to us.

    Love the idea of this place. It was decorative cute for the holidays so that was nice. The drinks were meh . The Lindsay Lohan was not drinkable. The cranberry vodka infusion was good. The bartender was super nice.

    Simply my favorite no frills bar in NYC! Have been here so many times over the years- the Apple martini keeps me coming back-- sour, tangy, sweet & stronggg. It's almost always crowded after 6 pm, but don't miss their happy hour which runs until 7 and includes discounted martinis and flavored vodka shots. They infuse their own vodka here- with unique flavors like horseradish and pineapple. The place appears to be family owned and has an authentic Russian ambience. They've also had live music most times I've been

    When the guy is playing the piano it's sort of of jazz infused standards. One of the bartenders sings too. Lovely voice

    Paradise Lost is a speakeasy tiki bar located on 2nd Ave in the East Village. A friend & I went…read morethere after having dinner at Spicy Moon a few blocks away. We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

The drinks were very interesting and creative. The seawater martini I will say was a bit too strange for my taste but I still thought it was good. Service was very good as well. Would definitely recommend to visit if you like gothic stuff and tiki bars.

Dim lighting, plush seating, rich wood + wallpaper details, and that lounge-library vibe make the place feel like a secret hideout right in the middle of Midtown. It's moody, cozy, and effortlessly intimate -- perfect for a date night, a chill catch-up, or just a night out with good drinks. Nice service, too! However: be ready for the price tag. The cocktails are absolutely beautiful -- well crafted, creative, and flavorful -- but each one will remind you that you're not exactly paying dive-bar prices. It's worthwhile, but the "overpriced drinks" vibe absolutely hits. That said: the interior design and ambience are amazing. The mix of antique-meets-modern decor, low lighting, and comfy couches gives you that classic speakeasy romance. If you appreciate aesthetics and vibe over cheap drinks -- this is your spot. If you want a night out that feels deliberate and special rather than casual and cheap -- Osamil Upstairs delivers.

We needed a place close to our Broadway show "Social Club" From welcoming, to ambiance, to service and to of course the food! My husband had indicated it was our birthdays so they provided a cute birthday card and made sure to wish us Happy Birthday when we checked in. Due to some unforseen circumstances (on our part being First time visitors not understanding NY traffic) we were short on time and they were still able to accommodate us! We were looking forward to do one their prix fix menus but had to cut our time shorter. We had the shrimp cocktail, would recommend and also really loved the serving coupe it came in! Fried artichokes that were mid at best and saved by the sauce it comes with. To save time we split the steak frites, I would recommend, though bot as tender as I normally like, I appreciate the serving and flavorful bites. The drinks are amazing and we love how they're all accompanied by a story! I had the heir to empire and our lovely waitress asked for my favorite color and when the drink arrives, it came with a little coaster in purple! And it was strong without it being overwhelming. For the remaining of dinner, I had a red wine and it was a perfect choice for the meal. Our trip to New York was too short because we wished we had been able to go back and check out their live performances. The vibe if the place was moody and inviting and we wished we could have gone back! We loved the Broadway homage throughout without being tacky.
