"If I could give it a 50 stars for service I would, we were greeted and immediately the lady with brown hair was as lovely and charming , she gave us plenty of recommendations and they were all delightful. The staff are lovely and the food is great. We got the chicken schnitzel, potato fries (devine) and these crispy pancake thing. I only have one photo because I’d tuck in way too quick when it came to the table. Again I have to emphasis the delightful staff that work here and are so lovely ."

"If I had childhood memories from Russia, even though I’m Israeli, in my tastiest fantasies, they would be just like this restaurant. Where to start? The salmon dumplings that tasted like a dream, the delicious buckwheat, the healthy beet salad, or the playful pickles. Not to mention the ice-cold vodka—I’m in love."

"With soft, stylish furniture, elegant but understated atmosphere and home made non-spicy food, this is an anti-climax in Phangan. The menu is domestic but interesting, with some ‘hard to find’ recipes and ingredients. Borshch was excellent, home-made drinks are a nice touch, stylish dishes and excellent service. The prices are reasonable too. I highly recommend this place."
