Mari Vanna

We went with colleagues last week for dinner. Our waiter was a very unpleasant man, sometimes rude. At some point when we finished the starters he asked us to order as "table cannot be empty" and his manager will not be happy. I asked him to wait as we have not finished with some starters and even this did not stop him. He took the plates with bread when someone was still eating. The menu is very primitive Russian dishes any Eastern Europe can cook much better at home. Not delicious and tasteless as soon as you know how it actually should taste. One of my colleague got food poisoning after that dinner and I was sick for two days after that as well. I paid for the glass of wine, herring and dessert approximately 50 pounds. Our waiter asked us twice if we left the service charge for them that was very annoying, as we did, unfortunately:( Will never come back there again, this restaurant should be checked by food standards agency for sure.

Excellent food. Good service. Not an overpriced restaurant that serves very good food. I had the lamb racks which was really good. The only negative is that they were out of all the wine we ordered (6 references) and vodka (Beluga).

I have been to Mari Vanna London and New York. I prefer the former and will go back as many times as I can. You can try some interesting Georgian amphora wines with wonderful food to pair. But do not forget to make reservations...

I went there today. Great place, great Russian food and service. I would recommend the three course lunch set of Borscht, Siberian dumplings and then honeycake for dessert. Fantastic, it put a smile on my face for the rest of the day.

The best part about the restaurant was the decor, stunning ambiance. As a non russian visiting a Russian restaurant for the first time. The Russian can keep their service attitude. ££££ for what you get. Not a return of choice.
