I visited this restaurant on my own while my colleagues were working nearby and it was a lovely experience. The room is decorated in 19th century Eastern European style and a pianist sits at one end, playing soothing tunes from the likes of Gershwin and Cole Porter. I started with a light chicken soup and a small pie filled with... More

Place is really nice. Food is good, servise at a good level, atmosphere is quite pathetic. Prices are half of Pushkin's.

We went to this restaurants because of the reviews on tripadvisor and it also because it got recommended by our hotel receptionist. Well, without offence, maybe the people that raved about this place, don't get to get out much. The place was empty when we went, a friday night, so maybe that should have warned us. Apart from the decor,... More

I visited here with my friends for the 40th birthday of one of said friends and we were very satisfied by the service and quality. They have a wide range of meals from not so expensive up to quite costly meals. The waiters and sommelier was very helpful in giving recommendations for a memorable Ukrainian meal.

This winter I’ve visited Lipsky Osobniak restaurant. I was really amazed with their choice, serving and taste. My wife was impressed by its internal beauty. It’s an ideal place for romantic date.

Found this gem on Trip Advisor. My co-reviewers were right on target. My fiance and I chose to sit upstairs for special privacy. Our waiter kept a eye on us from a distance; we never had to wait for anything. Live instrumental music was soft and perfect for a romantic evening. We never had to talk over the music. Many... More

We were surprised to see this place nearly empty on Saturday evening. It looks like a copy of Pushkin in Moscow and a very good one. We came in 2 hours after a full lunch and didn't take much. Pirozhki with cabbage and vareniki with cherry are EXCELLENT. Foie gras and salad with duck were ok. I was surprised that... More

Lipsky Osobnyak is not a cheap restaurant at all, but its food and service justifies its check. Thanks for the nice time. We will certainly come the next time.

The food is stellar. Unique, delicious and interesting. I had caviar (fabulous), a dish with slightly pickled cucumbers with mashed garlic, lemon, salt and dill spears in a bowl. Believe me when I say to you, this was easily one of the best things I've eaten this year. For dessert I asked the waiter for something simple. He brought back... More

The place feels like an old mansion inside- but the food is quite contemporary- even the traditional plates like the pancakes and onions (which is delicious) are done is a chic way. It is a bit pricey- but then you are getting live music (a subtle, moody jazz duo played the night we dined there) and very attentive service.
