We had a lovely time at Nevski. The atmosphere was welcoming, fun, & loud. Tables were hard to come by when we went, & I don't usually like sitting at the bar, but this was a great place to do that. We had borsht, pirozhki, & a cheese boat, all of which were delicious, & we'd enthusiastically recommend them. The staff were fun & friendly, & we're an obviously LGBTQ+ couple, so that counted for extra with us.
The food is authentic Russian 🪆 food & the service is great. Most of the staff actually speak Russian & are super nice 👍🙂. I would recommend to check their social media feed & go for a special event. We were there for'Maslinitsa' which is a special holiday & they serve delicious 🤤 crapes 🥞 🍯 I don't usually even like sweets but it was delicious. We also had the borscht which was ok, the pelmeni 🥟 with 🍄 were delicious & the drinks 🍻🍷 🍸 were very original as well. Over all great experience well worth checking out. Only negative is that we were seating all the way in the back & it was super hot in the winter ❄?☃? time as I guess people near the entrance must feel a breese. The live music was absolutely great. 🎶 🎷. *The entrance is not easy to find it's actually on the little side street between King 👑 & Queen streets.
My partner's cousin brought him & I here - it did not disappoint! From the minute you walk in you are greeted with the smell of delicious food & a trendy & welcoming atmosphere. The food was absolutely phenomenal - shared a cheese boat, salmon blini, cucumber salad, some khinkali, & the veal & mushroom pelmeni. To drink - try the Don nevski or the St. Petersburg (why not both?). For dessert we had the freshly made cinnamon sugar donuts. 10/10 recommend & my partner & I will be bringing all our friends here!
A colleague from Russia strongly recommended me to come to Nevski, as the cuisine & ambiance are authentic Russian. I really enjoyed the cheeseboat (spinach & peppers), borscht, & multi-layered cake. The waiters were very attentive & most helpful in guiding me as to the best dishes to sample. The mule (with ginger beer & mint) was so refreshing! I look forward to returning soon!
Nous avons réservé une section du Nevski pour une fête avec le menu bouchées/cocktails pour une vingtaine de personnes. Excellent service & ambiance conviviale. La nourriture était excellente & en bonne quantité, parfait pour accompagner des Moscow Mules ;) Je recommande fortement le Nevski!

Quelle belle découverte que cet endroit ! Ambiance parfaite pour une soirée en amoureux. La nourriture est délicate & délicieuse. Les drinks très bons! Je recommande fortement !
I went there with my bf in july (2023). We were very disappointed. I don't plan to go back there & I don't recommand it even for drinks unless you want to pay 15$ for sugary water. I paid 15$ for a drink (Cocktail) which was basically a glass full of ice & then they put liquid in it to fill what's left (not much). Even without letting the ice melt, it tasted like it was alrealy too diulated. As for the food, we took 3 dishes of pelmini (dumplings). I did recognize the pelmini as the same frozen one that you can buy at any eastern european grocery stores. So, I wasn't happy to see that I was served with frozen pelmini with probably a sauce that was from a can, & some green onion to make it look fresh.
Definitely recommend this place! The food & drinks were amazing & the guy who took care of us & our orders, had an amazing attitude & attention to what we needed. Looking forward to go back as soon as possible!💕
