Ordered their tasting menu & extra dessert with some friends. The meat was cooked to our liking. The desserts are fantastic. Staffs were very friendly, & service was good. Overall, we had a good time here. Def will come back
C était la première fois pour nous & ça ne sera surtout pas la dernière! Magnifique petit restaurant! Les plats sont délicieux de l'entrée jusqu'au dessert ... L'ambiance est chaleureuse & calme surtout à l'ouverture durant la semaine ... Le service est formidable! Très gentilles & attentionnée & nous accueille en allumant une chandelle à notre table... Nous avions pris... Soupe aux champignons Saumon mariné à l'aneth & aux baies roses Vodka Moskovskaya Pelmeni de boeuf Cinzano Côtelettes d'agneau grillés avec sauce au madère & cèpes Gâteaux du jour... Le tout accompagné de pain chaud & petit beurre... Au final, c'est un restaurant digne de son histoire tout comme le mentionne dans le début de la lecture du menu... Merci de partager vos racines & de nous faire découvrir les merveilles de l'Europe!
Loved the experience to enjoy great & delicious Russian food. The 3 kind fish, the borscht, the Kiev chicken with veggies & the dessert all yummy 😋 loved the presentation & the warm service 🤠🤩 for sure I'll be back.
Nous y avons fêté l'anniversaire de mon mari. C'était notre première fois chez Ermitage & ce fut la plus belle découverte de la soirée. L'atmosphère & les décorations du resto te transportent dans un autre siècle. Gala, la hôte, nous a accompagné avec des conseils & des recommandations dans nos choix. Elle fait vraiment attention à chaque petit détail pour nous offrir une expérience de rêve. Nous avons pris le boeuf bourguignon, l'agneau, le filet mignon Rossini & la caille flambée. Absolument impeccable, pas un mot à redire. Pour une petite entrée à partager, le plat principal & une bouteille de vin à quatre, on a payé entre 50-60$ par personne, ce qui est un prix super décent considérant la fraîcheur des plats préparés sur le coup & maison. Notre seul regret c'est de ne pas avoir pu prendre un dessert, mais ça va nous donner l'occasion d'y retourner.
Je n'ai pas eu l'opportunité d'essayer davantage la cuisine russe. Dans l'ensemble j'ai bien aimé sauf le dessert. Le borscht est très bon. Service très courtois & joli décor. J'ai beaucoup aimé les objects anciens disposés, les cadres & le simple fait d'avoir une vraie bougie sur la table.
Simply amazing! It was our first time there, & definitely not the last one. The food was exquisite (my husband is Russian but I'm vegetarian, & I was surprised about the tasty food). It was our 10th year wedding anniversary & the owner was incredible, they offered us a dessert with sparkly candles & crowns lol. Thank you very much!
Wow, wow, wow.... This was the first time eating Russian food. The restaurant was tastefully decorated for the Christmas holiday. We were greeted & immediately seated at a table for two. Since it was the first time here, we opted for the tasting menu. A basket of warm bread was brought to the table with butter. We started with the fish platter, then the salmon caviar & blini. A small bit of homemade sour cream was provided. Next was a platter of piroshki & pelmeni. To clean our pallets, we had sherbet that was doused with vodka. How refreshing. The main dishes, which we selected, consisted of an order to lamb chops & an order of wapiti steak. Both have light gravy, roasted potatoes, & a variety of vegetables. A dessert of blinchiki with a light cheese stuffing & a drizzle of a cherry/raspberry coulis. Tea & / or coffee was also available. We were stuffed. The food was ALL, absolutely delicious. We will definitely go back. The service was unbelievable. Parking is a bit tough but doable. Reservations are highly recommended. The restaurant is very small & fills up quickly. Enjoy...
Cozy, good for families, a nice decoration, great & friendly staff, a peaceful environment, authentic dishes & tasty food! Delicious desserts, Highly Recommended ;)
My friends & I recently dined at Ermitage & had a wonderful experience. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted warmly by the staff & seated promptly. The ambiance of the restaurant was cozy & inviting, with dim lighting & tasteful decor.
The menu offered a wide variety of options, catering to different dietary preferences. We were impressed by the range of choices available, from appetizers to desserts. The food itself was absolutely delicious. Each dish was expertly prepared & presented beautifully. The flavors were well-balanced & the ingredients were fresh.
Overall, our experience at Ermitage was fantastic. The combination of delicious food, excellent service, & inviting ambiance made for a memorable dining experience. I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a top-notch restaurant to enjoy a meal.
