| - I recently spent a Friday night here to celebrate a friend's birthday. I have to be honest, I first heard some negative things about this place. So with that in mind, my expectations was not the highest walking in.
I think we went in around 10pm and the place already very packed. We had arranged for a table service, but we had noticed that all the tables were occupied! Hey what's going on...
So eventually after some talking with the staff, they apologized for the confused and evicted the table thieves. ;) Unfortunately the service in general was quite slow. I think by the time we were all seated, it was close to 11... and took another half hour for the drinks to finally come out.
We had three bottles, along with an assortment of mixers... cranberry, apple, redbull and something else... things got a little fuzzy toward end of the night, so forgive me ;)
The music was mostly the top 40 stuff, mixed in with some house/jungle. One thing was kind of annoying was when they started doing some live instruments (some Caribbean style drums, etc).. I was sitting pretty close to it, and let me tell you, I thought I was going to lost my hearing! And I can take loud noise.. but this was on another level. I felt this whole part was unnecessary--and actually took away from the Russian communism theme, in my opinion.
All in all though, once things got going, we had lots of fun. Their vodka selection was quite impressive course, this was to be expected.
The bill came to about $600 plus gratuity. This "took care" of about 20 happy people.
