Reviews for Russia House Restaurant in Herndon, VA
This is just a wonderful restaurant. The owners greeted us warmly and took us to our table where they asked for our drink order.... This was followed by HOT bread with butter. Service is very attentive. The food was delicious and HOT. I don't know about you,but I'm tired of food from a "warmer". How many fish tacos, salads with feta cheese and candied pecans, hamburgers, chickenbreasts etc. can you eat? If you want something delicious and different than the "average" fare, this is a great restaurant.They've been here for many years and deserve continued patronage. You won't regret it.

Amazing dinner, hospitality and service at the Russia House last night. One of the best meals I’ve experienced in the DC... area. The shrimp brochette and beef pelmini were excellent - so were our desserts and the Russian coffee (decadent!). Highlyrecommend this hidden gem in downtown Herndon, VA! Read more
This place is a GEM! You don't know what you're missing! Definitely a Must-Go! Finally, a place that still offers top-notch... service, a classy atmosphere without being stuffy, and immense attention to detail. The staff treated us like we were honoredguests, saying "sir" and "miss" and treating us with respect and good manners. The man delivered my spoon to me on a foldednapkin atop a plate instead of just handing it to me bare-handed, and he placed our bread onto our plates with tongs from anapkin-lined basket. The decor is clean and warm. Shaded oil lamps at each table, crystal chandeliers, classical music playingthrough the speakers, attractive china plates, matching silverware, and flower boxes bursting with blooms. Instead of papertowels, the bathrooms have individual white washcloths to use for drying hands. Nice touch! We ate every scrap and morsel offood. The beef stroganoff and beef pelmeni had delicious flavors, and the dishes were very filling. We ordered a couple drinks,but there wasn't much punch to the cocktails-needs more alcohol for the cost. That's the only downside to the experience. Otherthan that, we are very pleased and definitely want to go back. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed. Read more
The only negative is that the $15 cocktail I ordered had very little alcohol in it. It tasted good, but for that price, I expect... a more noticeable effect. The food and service are exceptionally good, and I'd like to return for another dinner. Read more
We had an enjoyable, peaceful experience. The restaurant was a comfortable temperature. The decor was unique because of its... Russian theme. The menu was different from what was online, apparently due to shortages created by COVID. I believe they weresomewhat short staffed, assuming due to COVID. We had a difficult time getting the waitstaffs attention when we neededsomething, but they were apologetic. Overall we had a very enjoyable evening. Read more
I am not even done with my meal yet. But I have to review this place, and I have to while this is fresh in my mind. The waiters... are polite and observant, while the oblique decor and the music put one at ease and relax the mind, allowing me to enjoy thedelicious food even more. The fried mozzarella melted in my mouth and the moment the food arrived I knew I was in for more ofthe same. Read more
The owner and their wife are so extremely kind! I had such a great experience dining here and really enjoyed the food. I... definitely recommend the pâté. I had looked at the menu online before going and was a little sad to see the menu was not thesame as online (really wanted to try the escargot), but I assume during the pandemic things have been modified. Definitely anice place for a date night. Read more
We came and the owner served us. We asked her what would be good for appetiser, but she couldn’t even reply, and then she... finally told us something and brought 5 over salted shrimps with pepper crumbs on it and that costs 17$? For sure we didn’twant to eat such dish and waited for the main course. They brought us good dish, which we tried just one fork, but she told ifyou don’t like the food go away from here. She even told that we are nasty for no reason. That’s the way owner treats theirclients. As a Russian, I would say that’s there is nothing Russian in their menu. Don’t go there. ??? ???? ??????? - ????????? ???. Read more
