This was our first visit to Zhivago. We were only a handful of 'regular ' diners, while the remainder of the dining room was clearly being set up for several large parties. The staff were so incredibly busy setting up for these extravagant parties that the few tables that were there just for dinner were mostly ignored. We waited (very hungrily) for close to ONE HOUR for a chicken, salmon, and a salad. Meanwhile, we watched 12-15 wait staff bring platter after platter of food out for a banquet of people who had not yet arrived. Our waiter who clearly had no control over the food preparation, nonetheless looked at us with little concern or emotion each time we asked him for the ETA of our dinner. Our party of 4 became convinced of our invisibility, and noticed the other diners staring helplessly at the waiters hoping someone would remember that they were there. Frankly, I have no idea why the dining room was open for regular dining when they were clearly incapable of functioning both as a banquet hall and restaurant. One of the worst dining experiences ever.

What an experience! You have to come just to see the interior decor! We came on a day where there were several large groups, so the ambience was high. The service was spotty the waitstaff was attentive, but some of the food came out late. People were happy with their entrees, which included beef stroganoff and shiskebabs.

What a special place! Great to go to celebrate a special event
