All of the staff were able to speak both Russian and English which made things easier for those who don't and they were quick to clear a plate or replace a napkin or utensil. There was a DJ who also sings and another singer as well to keep us all entertained. A smaller sized dance floor is available for those of us who wanted to cut a rug, so to speak. Another room in the back was setup for the children and a menu for them was set up as well. Parking is street side so you might have to walk a couple of blocks in a nicer Brooklyn neighborhood. Great night out with good food served in at least seven or eight courses. The lamb chops and the potato and mushrooms dish were particularly delicious. Also you can't go wrong with any of the pickled dishes available. This is a BYOB spot so bring your favorite bottles and servers will supply water and soft drinks for you and your guests.

Delicious food, great presentation, and excellent service!…read more We had an early family dinner at Chateau de Capitane in March 2024. It was Sat but the music would start much later so there was no noise and we could talk. Almost all food we ordered was exceptionally delicious, from appetizers to desserts. The service was very attentive and we also got good suggestions helping to avoid ordering too much :) We highly recommend Chateau de Capitane for excellent delicious food and we'll certainly be back! Appetizers Trio Tartare - awesome! It had tuna, salmon, and yellowtail tartare and each had its own distinct taste. Can't really say which one was better as they were all good but different. Sesame Tuna - perfect! Tuna was tender and flavorful, melting in the mouth. Duck Salad - this one could be better as the duck was dry and scarce. Arugula Goat Cheese Salad - delicious! We were debating whether to order this salad as we make it at home, but we didn't regret. It had a perfect combo of ingredients + some sauce or smth making it a harmony. Kutaby with Herbs - fresh, warm, flavorful. Belyash with Meat - this eastern russia deep fried meat patty was about 1.5x of the standard size. It had perfectly fried dough (not burned) and plenty of juicy medium cooked meat inside. I tired belyashi in restaurants in russia and made at home, but this one surpassed them all. Just this single belyash already makes it worth coming back to Chateau de Capitane :) Soups Uha with Salmon - it was good, fresh, and clear. Plenty of salmon. It was tasty but somewhat standard. The taste could be made more colorful with some extra spices and maybe lemon. Dushpora - fresh and tasty, with cute mini-dumplings. We all tried and liked it. Solaynka - this one was unfortunately a miss. Tasteless and over salted. Mains Duck with Dried Fruits - simply amazing! If you like duck - this a must have! The portion was very generous and had la parts of duck - legs, wings, and breast. It was super juicy and tender, cooked to perfection. The dry fruits were of a good variety and matched the duck. Chilean Sea Bass with Creamy Polenta - soft, flakey, delicious! It wasn't not too fatty as a sea bass could be. Polenta was a great match as well as a mushroom sauce served on the side. Grilled Branzino - it was served nicely peeled off the bones and had great flavor and texture, yet was not "fishy". Stuffed Jumbo Shrimps - these were very good according to the people who ate them.

The food was good but not the best Greek food I've had. I would recommend them although it you have any wine or liquor with your meal I would say your bill will be north of $150 for two people.

Cyrillic writing, clothes, food with wonderful smells, trays and trays of caviar, just bursting out the door. And, a Starbucks. Today, not too many Eastern European businesses are left. Now, it's banks, cellular, provider, stores urgent care, a 7-11, even a Popeyes freaking fried chicken. Oh, and the Starbucks is still there. After walking out of a very bad experience at imereti Georgian cafe down the street (see separate review) I found this place. Boy, am I glad I did. I was seated in the front. The restaurant was gorgeous. ! I could hear a beautiful voice singing, Eastern European songs in the back of the restaurant and at one point,, he switched to Elvis's "I can't help falling in love with you" in English. That made me a little emotional, because that was my late partner's and my song... Anyway, I decided to go for the crêpes with red caviar (salmon roe), and the Ukrainian borscht. Bread and butter is brought to my table. The white bread was OK, but the brown bread had a deep rich flavor. The crêpes come first, and they were amazing. The crêpes were very warm, soft and delicious. I loved the "red caviar". A little bit salty, more briny than fishy, and a wonderful explosion of flavor when the eggs "pop." in the mouth. I was very happy. Next came the borscht. It had cabbage, beets, potatoes, and either beef or pork. I'm not sure which one. The meat , beets and potatoes was very tender, and the soup was delicious and not too rich. A very satisfying flavor., the beets gave it a little bit of an earthy flavor. The sour cream that came with it, just added a creamy richness to it without overtaking the flavor of the borscht. 1000% a home run. Dinner wasn't cheap. Two dishes, two iced teas (I found out they charge for refills), and tax, and it came out to about $48 before tip, .I didn't care. I don't mind paying extra if the food is that good, and this food was absolutely beyond awesome. I would be glad to come back and try other items on the menu. Thank you!

Overall really delicious dishes and a beautiful indoor environment! Also the service was incredible and the owner was very kind in explaining to us the dishes.

The Restaurant I Fell in Love With 10 Years Ago Is Still Here!…read moreI have been a loyal customer of Hot Potato House for over a decade,my history with this restaurant goes far beyond an occasional dinner. I have celebrated special occasions here with family and friends, ordered catering for my office, relied on delivery countless times,recommended it to visitors from around the world. Whenever someone asked me where to find truly good Eastern European food in South Brooklyn, for years my answer came without hesitation: Hot Potato House. What always made this restaurant special was that it was never limited to just 1 type of cuisine or 1 kind of customer. Eastern European dishes are the heart of the menu, but there are also excellent German dishes, seafood, steaks, genuinely great burgers, vegetarian options. It has always been 1 of those rare places where you can bring a group of people with completely different tastes and everyone can find something they are excited to eat. The atmosphere has always been another reason I loved coming here.On certain evenings there is live music, but even without it, the restaurant has a warm, pleasant ambiance. The service has always been professional, attentive and gracious. Throughout the pandemic,it remained my go-to for delivery, food consistently arrived fresh and delicious. However recently I had an experience that was very disappointing and different from the place I had known for so long & when I brought my concerns to the owner, the way he handled the situation deserves special recognition. In an era when genuine customer service feels like a disappearing art, Greg's response was a benchmark for hospitality, accountability and respect for a long-time patron. He listened.He took my concerns seriously.He did not become defensive or dismissive. Most importantly, he made a sincere effort to restore my confidence in a restaurant I had praised so enthusiastically. Tonight's meal did something I did not expect-it took me back 10 years.My earliest memories of dining here is celebrating my beloved father's birthday. My dad had passed away since then,so those memories are now bittersweet, but I still remember that celebration vividly: the atmosphere, the service, and especially how much everyone enjoyed the food. Tonight's meal tasted like that again. Because NYC is still suffering through extreme heat,I had been craving something cold, so I started with the Svekolnik, a chilled beet soup. The natural sweetness of the beets, fresh cucumbers, finely chopped egg came together beautifully. Add a little sour cream and it becomes wonderfully creamy while remaining light and refreshing,it definitely hit the spot. The complimentary dark bread deserves its own mention-fresh and yummy,it paired perfectly with Svekolnik. Then came 1 of my favorite dishes: Mushroom Julienne-rich, comforting dish of mushrooms in a creamy sauce, baked with cheese. The mushrooms had wonderful flavor and texture, the creamy sauce was luxurious,the cheese pull was Instagram worthy, everything came together into a savory dish that's irresistible even when full. The potato pierogi/vareniki from the Loft by Hot Potato were the Best I have had in a while-soft, delicate dough surrounding a flavorful mashed potato filling, beautifully fried onions alongside them. And if you ordered the Mushroom Julienne, try a varenik with a little of that creamy mushroom goodness. You can thank me later. Next was the veal tongue, a delicacy; slices were delicate, flavorful and incredibly tender. The accompanying horseradish and beet sauce gives it just enough sharpness to brighten the meat without overpowering its subtle flavor. The dessert was spectacular: Tarte Tatin-the classic French upside-down apple tart, made with caramelized apples&pastry,served warm with vanilla ice cream. Portion is very generous and it was divine. I order delivery frequently from different restaurants but honestly cannot remember the last time food arrived so hot, the efficiency of the kitchen and delivery speed was truly impressive. I also want to express my sincere appreciation to Greg, the owner, for the way he personally handled my issues.His approach was gracious, professional and remarkably respectful. I recently ordered on a solemn anniversary marking a profound loss and the care shown to me mattered more than Greg realizes. A restaurant can occasionally have an imperfect day. What tells you far more about a business is what happens afterward. In this case, owner listened, cared, and made me feel that a long-time customer genuinely mattered. So after more than 10 years of experience with Hot Potato House, I can once again sincerely recommend it--not just for Eastern European food,but for any group where everyone wants something different. With such a broad menu, there's truly something for everyone. Thank you, Greg, for reminding me why I kept coming back to HPH and why I'm happy to endorse it again.
