Very good Ukrainian restaurant! Excellent and tasty food, excellent service and reasonable prices for a banquet compared to other restaurants. Good music and a large parquet dance floor. The staff, headed by Yuri, tries to make your party unforgettable. ! read more

We just celebrated our 50th anniversary here and it was amazing! The food was delicious, service was outstanding. They had live entertainment which was great as well! We had a large party of people and we had own room, there was a dance floor for everyone which the guests all loved. We will definitely be coming back soon for more parties and family events! 50 . . , . , read more

You will like this place if you are Ukranian. You will hate it if you are not. Bad, low quality food. Decent Ukranian music, but all other music is poor. Service leaves a lot to be desired. read more

Having just passed this place today, I am reminded of the one time (several years ago) that we stopped in for dinner. We were escorted to our table... where we sat for almost 25 minutes with zero acknowledgement from any wait staff before we finally just got up and left. There was only one other table with 10-15 people sat closer to the kitchen having a party who were obviously friends of the place. Now this was several years ago, so maybe it's changed. I will never know. read more

Horrible place! The manager should be arrested! He was literally touching everyone in our party! Few times he came up to me! What a crazy guy! The manager told us he was the owner, while the staff told us he lied and was just a manager! What a circus! Stay away! Very disrespectful staff! The food is nasty! The worst place! read more

The food is good, however very rude singer and DJ. the entertainment experience was not good and this place is filthy. the bathrooms are gross and are not taking care off. would not recommend. read more

I have been to this restaurant for few birthday celebrations, weddings and other occasions. Every time I have been there in the past 15 years, it has been great. I like the food, always a lot of it, enjoy the dancing and musics. The environment is great. Clean. read more

My wife and I drove past and decided to try this place. The restaurant was closed for the evening banquet, as we understood, but they open restaurant and served only the two of us. it's nice. and I honestly do not understand why people write about the poor quality of food - this is not true. everything is fast and tasty. the staff is very friendly and welcoming. definitely five stars. read more

This restaurant is by far my favorite it the area. the overall vibe is amazing. it was super clean and they are being very responsible with COVID. The food and staff were also amazing. so glad I came across this place. 10/10 recommend I can't wait to bring all my friends here! read more

I went to a birthday party at this restaurant for a good friend of mine. People who don't know really good Russian restaurants or Russian food don't realize how wonderful these places are (and I'm not Russian). I love telling friends that when the delicious food is spread out on the table, you don't see any of the table! :-) And it's all delicious, good for you, and it keeps coming. Russians specialize in making wonderful salads. The Russian band that was there that night for entertainment was also wonderful. It was like going to Brighton Beach, NYC, which is the Little Odessa in the United States. :-) read more

Located in an impersonal commercial mall space that does little to restore New Jersey's tarnished image, the restaurant looks less than promising from the outside. Little did we know that Vernissage, faithful to its name, was not a mere restaurant, but also a place of art and good taste, with statues greeting us in the entrance! The dining room is in line with the large Russian restaurants you find in Brooklyn, complete with marbled walls, banquet tables and a stage for floor shows. The fairly short menu consists of Russian classics: herring, Russian salads, pelmeni and pancakes are followed by kebabs and grilled fish (which is more of a Brighton Beach standard). And like several other places, it follows the mysterious trend of serving foie gras with no indication of how it's prepared. There's also an automatic $10 cover charge per person, for reasons unknown. For the art, maybe? We started with some fried potatoes with mushrooms, which were fine for what they were -- it would be hard to screw up such a simple dish. We stuck to the tuber with potato dumplings, topped with fried onions. These were just OK and probably factory-made, with a rather watery stuffing. The Chicken Tabaka fell short considerably: the meat was bland, the skin wasn't crispy, and it was covered with burnt and overpowering garlic. The chicken came with more zucchini than I've ever eaten in a single day. and a bright green sauce that was some kind of greasy pesto better left untouched. Our second main course was chalakhach, grilled lamb chops, which arrived over well-done. We'd told the lone waiter that we wanted the chops rare, but I doubt he knew what it meant. I guess we could have returned the dish, but the whole lunch had already taken almost 2 hours, and the chances we could get our point across to both the waiter and the cooks were rather thin. I'm also still wondering how one can cook meat on a grill for so long and yet fail to get nice charred hatch marks. In the Caucasus, this is the kind of dish that would be served with an assortment of grilled tomatoes, peppers and eggplants, or with a refreshing salad of tomatoes, onions and herbs. Here instead, Price Chopper must have been running a sale on green and yellow zucchini, as the squash seemed to accompany every single main dish. We skipped dessert (I don't even remember if there even were any on offer), finished our warm fruit juice (the restaurant doesn't have an alcohol license -- or a fridge, apparently), waited another half an hour for the check, and got back on the road to try to reach our destination before sunset... read more

The place is fantastic. I had over 50 guests for my celebration at Vernissage this summer and they all raved about the food and service. The ambience was very nice as well and the dancing and music - a great bonus. The manager took great care to accommodate the various dietary restrictions of members of my party and that was very much appreciated. read more

Great authentic Russian food. The staff is wonderful. I would love to eat here again.

Yes, even though the location is not the best, the food there is definitively worth every penny. The atmosphere is beautiful inside, and the music is fantastic as well. Good waiter service and very attentive. read more

Not great. Nice staff but seemed inexperienced and unfamiliar with the menu. They were also out of many items. Food was below average. Giving 2 stars because the waiter was cool. Honestly, seems like a place to have a party. They don't seem to be a traditional restaurant. read more

service is great! food is good and not very good, depends on what you're trying and you'll be trying a lot because amount of food they give you is ridiculous, you have to go there with a large group and it's Russian stye banquette. overall not bad, i'd give 3.5 stars if i could,because i think it's expensive, and some food was did not seems to be fresh. read more

Food was terrible to say the least and having grown up in Brooklyn and visiting many Russian restaurants and cabarets, I can tell quality food from poorly prepared crap like this place was serving. The salad had none ripened tomatoes that tasted like grass, the potatoes with mushrooms were over fried and hard to chew. The Cornish game hens were way too over fried and had way too much garlic on them. The zucchini side dish was mushy and watered down. Dessert consisted of out of season watermelon that had a spoiled taste and strawberries that were sour and unappetizing. The waitress was too eager to change dishes and would literally take the plate away from under my nose while I was still eating. There was only one waitress there and I found it unusual given how many tables she needed to service. They have a serious staffing problem and their chef needs to be fired! I ran a restaurant business once in Colorado near the Denver area and the way this establishment does is not the way to run a business. And the area it's located in cannot be anymore ghetto than it already is. Location means everything and this place fails miserably in this respect. How they stay in business is beyond me because anywhere else where a large Russian community resides would have forced them to shut down because the food and service are terrible. read more
