Romanov Restaurant and Lounge

We did a complete buy out of Romanov for a client’s yearly Valentine’s event. We worked with Harry and Andre who really worked with us and all our needs. The food was absolutely amazing with soooo much of it and such variety and the service for our guests was perfect . It was we really first class service. Everyone really enjoyed the live performance of the renders and aerialists. I highly recommend booking a night out either on Friday or Saturday wirh friends! Great place.

Romanov Restaurant is a wonderful place where we had an absolutely amazing time. The show was fantastic, the service was excellent, and the staff was very attentive and friendly. The prices are reasonable, and the food was absolutely delicious! My daughter’s birthday was celebrated at the highest level. The atmosphere was incredibly festive — about fifteen other birthday celebrations were happening that night, and everyone was happy, joyful, and full of positive energy. Thank you for such an unforgettable celebration. We will definitely come back again!

Extremely disappointing — and we didn’t even make it to dinner. We had a reservation for tomorrow and called today simply to clarify one question about alcohol since it wasn’t listed on the menu. That’s when we were told alcohol is not included and there is a $45 corkage fee. With prices ranging from $135–$225 per person (before service charge, processing fee, and tax), this already adds up quickly. For a Russian restaurant, this is very unusual. Traditionally, banquet-style pricing includes alcohol or at least allows guests to bring their own without excessive penalties. Nobody goes to a Russian celebration planning to drink one bottle. After hearing this, we decided to cancel — a full day before the reservation. When we said we wanted to cancel, the manager hung up on us. We had to call back because they mentioned a $100 no-show fee. What makes this even more disappointing is that we used to come here under the previous ownership for New Year’s Eve several times and paid around $500 per person without hesitation. We understand premium pricing. We value a great experience. But professionalism and transparency matter. The way this was handled — hanging up on customers who were asking a simple clarification question — left a very bad impression. Based on this interaction alone, we’re glad we cancelled.

Romanov offers a great dining experience with good food and friendly service. The atmosphere is lively, with a nice crowd that adds to the overall vibe. The best part of the restaurant is the live show -- the music is enjoyable, and the dancers are amazing. Their costumes are impressive, and the performances are energetic and well done, making the evening truly entertaining. Overall, Romanov is a great place to enjoy good food along with an exciting show.

This is a spectacular restaurant and night out extravaganza. good food, good vibes and awesome show and performers. I don't even understand Russian, but music is great nostalgic disco

I celebrated my birthday here, and honestly, trusting this restaurant was one of the biggest mistakes I’ve ever made. From the beginning, the manager promised everything would be perfect — that the tables would be set beautifully, the food would be served on time, and no guest would be left waiting or hungry. He convinced us to take the $175 package, and we believed him. But what actually happened was a nightmare. The main dishes didn’t come out until 11:10 p.m., and the fish was brought at 12:10 a.m. — when most of my guests had already gone home. The salads were half done, the portions were small, and the staff acted like they didn’t care at all. Everything felt unorganized and unprofessional. I was so embarrassed in front of my guests. They left hungry, and what was supposed to be a special night turned into total disappointment. They completely ruined my celebration. I’ll never come back here, and I honestly wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone.

Would not say, "Best Russian Food" but it was fine overall. Lam was great! Show and atmosphere also was great! Worth checking it out at least ones, and then decide if you want to come back!

I still can't believe how disappointing my birthday night at Romanov Restaurant turned out to be. What was supposed to be a magical celebration became a complete disaster. The management promised certain arrangements, but nothing was done as agreed. Everything they promised - they tailed to deliver. The service was careless, food was horrible for price, the music was terrible, and the energy felt completely off. I felt disconnected and heartbroken on a night that was meant to be filled with joy, beauty, and memories. Beautiful place, but beauty means nothing without heart and honesty. For the price they charge, it was beyond unacceptable. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously and improves for future guests. I would never recommend this place for any special event. Never again.

We had a wonderful time at Romanov Restaurant for my Mom's 90th birthday celebration. I did the reservation with a very nice and courteous lady by the name Tatiana, who patiently explained all the menus and the charges, and professionally tried to assist me with all my questions. One feature I liked the most which I have never seen anywhere else. Before the music starts they have continuous display of images of artworks of famous Russian painters on the monitors mounted on the walls. For me it is aesthetically very pleasing, and artistically educational to see the reach cultural heritage of Russian art. Food and music were very nice, as well. We also greatly enjoyed the beautiful show of trapeze artists. Overall, my family and I had a very pleasurable experience.

The romanov Restaurant was chosen for the celebration for another birthday.At first glance , the establishment inspires grandeur and luxury, reminiscent of a king`s palace. But there are some drawbacks, especially the service, which doesn`t know what it depended on, but the dishes we ordered took along time to arrive.This added certain amount of frtustration to each evening as the wait made the evening longer. creates a new unusal taste experience. Despite some difficlties with service, overall I laked it.

Absolutely love this place. A great experience every time. Perfect place to celebrate any occasion. You can either reserve a table or rent out the whole place for a private party. The food is amazing, the service is great and the atmosphere is perfect at Romanov. The restaurant decor is so beautiful and romantic. We recently came here for a private party and had the best time ever. The service was amazing, our waiter was amazing, the food was amazing. We had the most delicious appetizers, salads and hot dishes. The beef stroganoff was the best I ever had. The seafood selection was perfect as well. I can keep going and going but I don't want to bore you. I'm sure you got the message. The singers were great singing Russian, Armenian, Spanish and American pop songs. The entertainment was very enjoyable. The acrobatic show was one of a kind. Overall a great place to go and have fun. Take comfortable shoes to dance the night off.

Has a great birthday party thanks for the special birthday songs. All the staff are nice and professional

So you have to be looking for something like this to want to go. This is more of a dinner club than a restaurant and the entire meal and service is very weird. This is like Chuckie Cheese for Adult birthday parties I was there for my cousins party. The place is typical Russian opulence and you arrive with appetizers on the table, most of which were not very good. I did love the pickles and pickled tomatos but the rest wasn't so good. Sushi was horrible, smoked fish and lox not good. The service is very weird and very slow. If you come hungry be aware that the final main course was served at 11:30pm which was just about when we were ready to leave and head to Tommy's for a burger. I am sure that many people will like the very loud (I am a rock n' roller from way back but too loud) Russian band but it wasn't my cup of tea, but the real issue I had is they played for nearly 2 hours at top level volume with no let-up. I was done after 2 songs. The end of the evening they have acrobats that were okay, if they had 1) served dinner in a timely fashion say main course before 10pm and nlimited the loud band to 1 hour I would inclined to up to 3, but the food was miserable for the most part. Aly's comment of appaling is pretty spot on and what is really funny is they do not want to remove any of it. They had a plate with sardines that were super scary we just simply couldn't get them to remove!

What a fun experience we had for the 2020 New Year's celebration!! All night long was non stop entertainment, food was exceptional with black and red caviar, crabs, lobsters, shrimps... so so so much more!!! It was impossible to eat even small part of it, so much good food! I won OSCAR for the best dress of the night, lol - that was so sweet! Thank you Romanov for great time!

We came here for a friend's birthday, and I have to say it was pretty good for my first go around with Russian cuisine. First, the entertainment is really great. They have live singers, which in and of itself it great. In addition, they have dancers and aerial shows. The dancers are talented, so the show is quite engaging and entertaining. I can't compare the food to other Russian restaurants, but I do consider myself a picky eater. The food came out in abundance in with variety. My favorites were the eggplant dish, the filet mignon salad, and the lamb and rice. The other dishes were also tasty, some more than others. The Napoleon dessert came out slightly frozen, which was not appetizing. Other than that, the food and entertainment were great!

I give this place the stars for the entertainment, service and everything that comes with a night out. There are few places where you can dance the night away and have such awesome ambience. It truly feels like a dance hall inside the Romanov winter palace with its grand chandelier and rich red/gold tones. The food is another story. This is by far my least favorite spot for food among all the other Russian restaurants in the area. It's edible but never memorable. They have a fantastic dinner show on Saturday's and you can bring your own alcohol which is great! Music is usually good and if you tip them they will do whatever music you like. There are several menus to choose from ( all banquet style) but overall expect to spend approx $125-$150/person. A must night out at least few times a year with great friends.

Really unique experience here on a Saturday night! Got invited for a birthday. Food was ok, some dishes were delicious and other were a miss. The best part is the show. Extremely awesome dancing, singing and Vegas style acrobatic performance. Good vibes and fun. Definitely a bit of a older crowd and obviously the restaurant is Russian themed so a lot of Russian music but so fun

The venue is studding, the staff are wonderful and the show it's blond blowing!!! The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because the food was not very good. As we were walking out we said how much food went to waste because people weren't eating. We were there for a company party so maybe the food is different when it's just the resturant but it's was pretty bad. Lots of food on the table weren't uneaten, such a waste. It would be better if they gave smaller portions but taste food that would be enjoyable. The weird thing is the presentation of the food is beautiful so you get excited until you take a bite. That bite is very confusing lol.

This is a pretty cool place to come if you want something different for your dinner experience! They have a New Year's Eve dinner show have a really nice showing full course meal he definitely will not leave hungry so much food and drinks! Good place for kids too, kid friendly:)

Horrible spot to eat with horrible service Bald man seems to be loosing his cool with every request and guess the hair goes with it Some sort of manager with glasses I assume has a very bad temper and is highly incompetent to run anything Never going again.

Possibly the worst food I have ever had the nauseating displeasure to have experienced at a restaurant in my life. Words just cannot describe how bad everything was. Aside from the place resembling a jacked up neon laser light discount disco with live music performers playing to a backing track at such a high decibel level that you couldn't scream into the person next to you and be heard. We literally had to wait till the music stopped before we could place an order. The service was deplorable. The food was shocking. Overpriced is an understatement... RIP OFF! We didn't eat anything.

Holiday office party was held at Romanov. Such wonderful selection of alcohol was served. In all honesty , I'm not a big fan of Russian food in general, so to be fair, I'll hold back from rating the food. Except- I did try their crepes (pretty much the only food selection I recognized) and they were appetizing! The service was exceptional and welcoming. Huge props to the entertainers. The entire singing crew and dancers were amazing. Music was sung live and the great energy brought out by the singing crew def. kept it going. I had an astounding time ! P.s - The location is stunning and spacious and the restrooms were kept very clean !

We all had a great time Saturday. The food is amazing. The service is great. We went for a bday, but felt like we were at a Russian wedding. I'll be back for my bday. Still hungover.

This is an exceptional place! We went there for New Years Night and honestly, it was probably the best New Year in 20 years and the best spent money! First of all, employees are super professional and caring. Their manager, Amir is great! He made our night by proving us with the exact things I was asking. He really cares about customers and does his best. Now about our experience. - The restaurant is absolutely gorgeous. For New Year it was decorated as the "The Oscar Night" theme, which made our evening pretty unique. - The food is great and served beautifully. When we run out of black and red caviar, our waiter brought us an extra portion. Our waitresses were great. - The show is JUST AMAZING! Performance is well produced on the level of 5-star entertainment. I want to mention Vladimir who performs in the show. His performance is breathtaking. - The music is well selected. I highly recommend this place if you want to have a memorable time.

Difficult to actually describe what happened here Friday night, but here goes. Armenian-owned, Russian banquet-style food setting, in ridiculously huge (somewhat wasteful if you ask me) portions, decent service, great live music, dancing, cirque de soleil acrobat-type performances, packaged around about 4-6 hours of food and music. We left around 2am and I heard the party still goes until 4. Something to behold. Especially enjoyed the live music where they mixed Russian pop song covers (Verka Serduchka - Dolce Gabana, yes!!!) with Rihanna, with a couple happy birthday song shoutouts to patrons in between. Food was good if not great, and the prefix menu we chose had: pickled everything, lots of delicious potatoes, main course of fish, beef/chicken kabobs, awesome mushroom and eggplant appetizers, even some red caviar to boot. The crowd seemed pretty classy and well dressed, sans a few young-ins at the bar rocking the hoodies with big dragons on the back (stay classy!!) For the price ~$100 including tip, corkage, and the entertainment, it was a good time had by all. The menu and entertainment choices change here every few months, so I could definitely see myself coming back sometime next year.

I love Romanov Restaurant! We celebrated my BDay last Saturday! Everything was so delicious! Music is great Big dance floor, amazing acrobats show. All my friends were happy! Thank you very much. The only one thing I wish you guys had a la Carte menu.

This place was great. The food was good and it just kept coming. Lol I was full before the main course came and the desserts were good too. The band was funny and the show was very cool. I liked everything. P. S. The price was crazy and definitely a one time visit.

Went there for their live mic night. Entertainment was amazing! But the food was horrible. I ordered the salmon because I saw on Yelp that they were a restaurant during the day, or so I thought, so I decided to spend the $22 for salmon. Well I was charged a service fee...ok sure I guess your including tip. Not an issue. But the food was the worst I've ever had. It was definitely frozen fish n they tried to use balsamic glaze to cover up the fishy taste. It was served with a side of fries. And I was hungry so I thought I could stomach the food but I guess the food is really along the lines of bar food

One the best places to have memorable Saturday night. You can dance all night long. You feel you are in Russia

We had such a great time! The food was great. We ordered the Russian menu (there's a Russian set menu, Romanian and a regular menu). It was just the two of us so be prepared to be hungry because the food just kept coming. The drinks were great. I think it was called the Killer Russian which was vodka, champagne and juice. It was really good. Also had plenty of vodka. The martini was easy to drink. The music/entertainment was very enjoyable. They sang both Russian and Pop music. We danced and danced. The ambiance is really classy and the service (at least our waiter) was really attentive. He even packed our food (it was a lot of food!!). It was a really great date night. Many of the guests who were there were large groups (lots of birthday). We'll definitely go again.

The venue is beautiful, large and very spacious. The service is fine. However, the food is really not good at all. Eggplants and carrots came out frozen, the fish and salami did not look fresh. The fruits were soggy. Honestly, for the amount that they're charging now, food was VERY disappointing. Music was fine. However, before the band used to sing a song after the happy birthday song now it seems like they just wanted to get through the cakes (only three parties) and call it a night. Also, there was no show on a Friday.

Romanov Experience is something very unique that I haven't experienced before. We were there for a friend's birthday and I must admit, it was not disappointing. Although we were full by the time the 4th course was coming out (out of 8), we were able to enjoy the performances, which encompassed everything from Cirque du Soleil type of acrobatics to semi-live musical performances. The dancefloor was a bit small but everything else was on point. I would highly recommend anyone looking for a dinner/show experience to check out this spot. It's definitely worth it!.

Many thanks for making my Saturday a day to remember.Please thank your staff for all their amazing work and being so friendly.Excellent atmosphere and music .All my friends were impressed by food and magic show.Thank you Romanov!

Finally made it to this amazing place! I'm sure you know Romanov family has been around a very long time. But this place has been around for 16 years. I'm sure if the walls could talk they would say a lot. I have been trying to come in and enjoy a dinner for a while but was to busy, however finally it has happened. The food is amazing, they just changed there menu and the food ingredients and source.. I'm happy to say that this place is truly amazing. You really get to dine like a Tzar!!! I'm coming back this Valentines day will give you an update on what I like and what I recommend. (I hear they are getting a new cocktail many, can't wait to try!!!)

Came here for a 3rd time. It's a group of 8 people. They served us a total of 10 pelmeni to share amongst 8. 1 blinchik per person. We didn't get like half the appetizers advertised on the menu. We tried to speak to the waiters about the missing food and they offered us beef stroganoff instead, which didn't contain any beef whatsoever - all mushrooms. Entree sizes were not proportional for the amount of people. Literally the portion sizes were enough for 2 people, not 8. After complaining to the manager, he tried to send us out a complimentary bottle of $10 champagne (which we declined considering everyone at the table is drinking don Julio añejo... thanks though)... so then they brought us 3 piroshki FOR 8 PEOPLE!!!!! Do the math. That's not even enough for half each. The piroshki were by far the best part of the meal. Asked them to send out enough so that everyone can try. Never happened. Then when dessert came, they brought out apple strudel even though we called TWICE prior to and requested Napoleon and were willing to pay extra. Seriously service here is awful. We were the last table left at the restaurant at 2 am to the point where security asked us to leave and we were like WE WISH WE COULD!!! Not a single waiter would come to our table to bring us the bill (or more water or anything). Great show though. Performers did a wonderful job. The show, the piroshki that not everyone got to try, and the Napoleon which we paid extra for were the only good things about this spot.

Romanov Restaurant and Lounge is the best Russian place in L.A. for food, drinks, live music, dancing and acrobatic show. Celebrated birthday party on Saturday.  The food was excellent, big portions and had a nice mixture of options. Everyone enjoyed each dish that was served. They have great bar selection as well. It's not my first time to attend different occasions with different cultures in attendance and everyone had excellent time and positive feedback. The manager is very nice with great personality and always smiling and welcoming.

I don't write many reviews, but I had to write this one. I have been in Romanov many times. What keeps me coming back is... pretty much EVERYTHING! The food, the music, the service, the energy, there's something very special about this place. I highly recommend Romanov for any occasion. One of the highlights for me is Romanov's show. The creativity and the difficulty is off the charts. Overall, this is a great place to have a great time! I'll keep coming back.

I had my birthday party at Romanov and was pretty happy with the experience. Romanov is perhaps the most expensive Russian restaurant in LA, and also has the best show accompanying the dinner. This is the kind of place where you throw a party - a birthday, an anniversary dinner, or some other celebration, where you invite people for a dinner/show/dancing at a certain set price per person. I have a lot to say about this place, so I'll try my damndest to keep it brief. PRICE: Romanov has set pricing per person, and 3 food packages to choose from (low cost, medium, and most expensive or "czar'). The price per person also fluctuates depending on which day you host your party - if you do it on Friday or Saturday, it will cost more because those are the days they have a show as part of your package. Generally, you are looking at spending about $100 per person, or in my case, $125 per person including tax, tip, alcohol, for a good package on a Saturday night etc. For that price, they provide you a bottle of vodka per 10 people in your party, which is a paltry sum, so do plan to bring your own alcohol (hell yeah, at Russian restaurants its customary to bring your own alcohol). I had 20 people in my party, so we had to bring a lot of alcohol. Food: Romanov provides a huge Russian feast, which ought to be a case for the price tag. You'll get zakuski (small appetizers prior to the big show), including the best babaganoush I've ever had. You'll be served red caviar with blinchiki and sour cream, Chicken Kiev and some other meat dishes like sashlik. The food is good and plentiful, so come hungry. The Atmosphere: Elegant, though a little kitschy and gaudy. The interior looks like a fusion between a Russian palace and a blue-lit nightclub. Virtually everyone here is Russian, Armenian, or other former Soviet folks. A lot of families and groups of friends. There is a dance floor, where you'll see lots of people dancing to Russian and other music. The Show: They put on a show with acrobatics and dancing that is fun to watch. My memory from this part of the night, thanks in part to vodka, is fuzzy, but I remember clapping and being happy. Romanov is a fun place for a very special occasion, especially if you are Russian. I would recommend going here at least once, even though the price tag is a little shocking.

I were at that lounge with my friends celebrating birthday. If you want to have fun with your friends - this is definitely right place!! We had a lot of fun! Live music was good, show was awesome! Service staff always ready to serve you with a smile. Food could be better in my opinion, but if you expect to try traditional cuisine - it was good. Drinks are great, especially bartender, who makes a really good cocktails. We had a really great time. Highly recommend!!

Disclaimer! My parents are forcing me to write this review. They said they loved the food and the service was amazing​. They're​ Russian so if they liked the food that's​ saying something. From my point​ of view the service, the decor, and the entertainment was perfect. I think the restaurant decor was stunning and was the highlight​ for me. The last main dishes come out a little late for a Sunday night 11pm but my parents...again....loved the food. They serve TONS of authentic Russian tasty food so get ready to eat for hours. I wish they had a little more vegan options for myself but their Russian cabbage​, pickled vegetable​s, and potatoes were excellent​. Great place for a birthday or an event!

Came here for my husband company Christmas party! You fancy huh? Yes this place was. The alcohol and the food never stops flowing. It continues on and on and on. It's gorgeous inside, the smaller grade of acrobats and performance was great! Food was different for me, but I am always open to trying now things! Service was ehh, they could really use a smile when you ask for a glass for water. Performers on stage was great, sang Russian music and mixture of today's hottest hits. I wish I knew what I was eating so I can review about it, it's an experience, and from the looks of it, you would spend a pretty penny at this sort of place. Valet was terrible, they were so unorganized and screaming at one another in a different language. It was quiet entertaining if you ask me.

Horrible... service is zero.. music is no good... food is ok... but if u want a night out its not a place anymore... very disappointed....

Delicious food, great entertainment.. The salads are amazing, desert is superb! Going back soon for sure!!

Class, very expensive and fun filled. Food is better and better each time. Im dancing the night away. Women, men, children and entire families with grandmamas and grandpapas all participating. Live music in 5 languages DJ and acrobats straight from Russia with love

We had the greatest Valentine time last night. The food was amazing. Entertainment was marvellous! Definitely gonna go back. I can't believe people give less than 5 stars!

My good friend hosted her spectacular birthday party at this restaurant. I was among 50 of her closest friends and family to attended a very elegant and fabulous evening here. First of all- the restaurant is very beautiful! I immediately noticed the chandeliers which are absolutely breath taking replicas of Faberge eggs! I wished my Mother could have been there to see those! They are like art. There is a beautiful bar, large dance floor and stage, and lovely tables loaded with rich colorful foods all around the restaurant. Everything is black and gold and ornate. Super fancy- trust. I immediately regretted my outfit, but operation can't do nothing about it was under way. After a few stiff drinks, I was feeling a lot more comfortable! There was a live band entertaining all night. The music as totally awesome! This band had like 5 different singers to fit many genres of music. When we weren't eating and drinking, we were dancing all night, and the entertainment didn't stop there. At midnight there is a show featuring several dancers and acrobats swinging on silks and trapezes, walking on stilts, and dancing in sexing costumes. It was like a private Circ de Soleil show- beautiful, artistic and exotic. I loved it! The best part of the night was probably the amazing food spread. I've never seen anything like it! It seemed like endless courses were served from about 8 pm to 12:30 am. It just kept coming! It was a beautiful spread of lobster, sushi, meats like filet mignon, lamb, cold cuts, roasted meat over rice, etc. There were cheese platters, caviar, fried whole fish, a variety of salads, crapes, salmon, fruit platters, pastries, bread- you name it! It was awesome and necessary given the amount of alcohol we were all consuming. Wine, tequila, vodka, and Cognac flowed like water... Needless to say, I had a great time. It was a beautiful night filled with warm wishes, good friends and sophisticated style. Even though I was probably the only one in the whole place that wasn't Russian, I felt so welcome and at home. I was totally Euro-Dre. It was rad. Recommended for any celebration: graduation, anniversary, bday party... P.S. when in doubt, dress up rather than down, or you'll be like me and will have to drink your insecurity away :) Mozal Tov! xo

Ok. What are you coming here for? If it's for a fun night out, this is a great place. Live music, arias acrobatic show, dancers and a fun let loose vibe. The food sucks but I'm vegetarian didn't have any meat so I can't comment on that. The service was ok. It was very busy the night I went so that may be why. The tea/coffee was cold when served even though i asked for it to be super hot. All that aside, it's a fun place. You feel like you're in a time wArp. The place is over the top showy, very Russian and has an old world feel to it. The room is hazy to make it look smoky which is cool. The place us huge and as I said, it was packed. The waiters didn't speak English but I didn't care. I was able to drink and dance and have fun. That's the point right? We decided to host our office holiday party here (not cheap). I'll come back with an update on how it went.

This place looks like bazar!!! Everybody selling something,.Some one took a pictures and gave me and waiting for money the other came close to me and gave flower and waiting for money each ine 5$))) very bad service very bad concert very bad food!!!

It is the best russian restaurant in Los Angeles. The prices are crazy but it is "kinda" worth the service and food. The show is wonderful! Great beautiful gymnasts. great music, wonderful ambiance. Recommendation for girls if you are going there dress up like a stripper (not top less but something ultra short bright and fancy) all girls there are like that. So my short black dress (which I thought was too short) out where looked like grandma's shy outfit. There is a place for smokers (thanks God not inside of the restaurant) Drinks are great Food is good great music and floor for dancing

We traveled from SF to this great Romanov to celebrate our GF's birthday! Besides the impressive chandeliers and pretty amazing show (20 min)... the rest was just bleh. We have Russian Restaurants in SF, in comparison: The food was alright. The music was catered more towards American night life than Russian tunes.. why am I going to a Russian joint to listen to the latest 99.7 song? That was not impressive. I spent more time sitting at the table than dancing the night away. @ a nice $$ pop to pay for my Russian experience I'd say it was lacking. As much as we have heard through the grapevine that this place is something spectacular I could say I was not wowed! I miss the Fandorin days for sure!

So, I visited this restaurant with friends, celebrated my birthday. The atmosphere is pleasant. The waiter was very friendly, ​​helped us with a many choice. I liked the menu, price matches the quality. I really love Russian food, so I'm very pleased that I found this restaurant. I will definitely come here again with family and friends!

Food is good, loud music, if u pay extra on the top of 18% service charge, servers will serve u better! Watch your bill closely, they always extra charge ( happened to me every time!)but if u tell them they will adjust! Lots of middle eastern songs.We paid $40 for our 2 favorite songs!Overpriced for offered ambiance!

Do not park in the back parking structure if you plan on staying late. There is no sign of operation hours. My car was lock in there. I called parking management and they refused to come open the gate for me. I told them my medication is in my car and he replied if it's an emergency called 911 then. Now about this restaurant. Our server seem very inexperienced. Food is mediocre at best. The entertainment and performance was great though. Bottom line if you're looking for good quality food, stay away. If you're looking to chill and watch a show, I guess you can give this place a try.

I wish I could give this place zero stars. I had the worst experience I think I've ever had at any bar/lounge establishment in LA. A few friends and I decided to go support a friend of ours who was performing. We asked a server where we were allowed to sit, because some tables had reserved signs on them. She told us anywhere that doesn't have a reserved sign and pointed us to a table that would be fine to sit at. We order food from the one saving grace of this place, our server, and wait for the show to get started. We eat as more of our friends show up and order food. As the show is going on, some freckled face man comes over and is telling a security guard that we are at his table and need to get up. The promoter comes to us abs says "y'all gotta go, this is a reserved table" we try to explain to him that there was no reserved sign and that the server sat us here. He shrugged and left. Being that we were still eating, we continued to stay seated. A tall Hispanic male security guard comes back to the table and tells us we need to "get up" and didn't care that we were eating and placed here by a server. He said "it was reserved for some NBA players" I explained that we would get up but that they needed to accommodate us at another table. The security guard started cursing at us and telling us he "doesn't give a fuck" angry at being spoken to and treated this way, we refused to get up until the promoter/manager came back. The freckled face guy starts standing in front of the table so we can't see the stage, we ask him to please move and he explodes on us LADIES! He starts yelling for us to "get the fuck off his table" and then the Hispanic security guard comes and chimes in!!! I was livid. Never have I ever been spoken to like that by anyone, let alone two "grown men." I felt EXTREMELY UNSAFE! We decided to get up, and find the manager. (No where to be found). We paid the server because she was great, but left before even getting a chance to see our friend sing. I will NEVER STEP FOOT IN THIS GHETTO, UNPROFESSIONAL, ABUSIVE ESTABLISHMENT EVER AGAIN! WARNING TO ALL WOMEN WHO DECIDE TO COME HERE. ITS' NOT SAFE!!

This place has the worst food in the planet . They should take pride serving there Russian food but it's exactly the opposite . They charge a flat 100 dollar per person and it comes with the worst food which I did not touch . If you want something better they charge more it feels like bait and switch .

What a great experience! My family and I celebrated my birthday at Romanov. We had a group of 11 people raging from 21 to 94 years old and everyone had a great time. There was SO MUCH FOOD!!!!! delicious food! Service, entertainment, constant attention- everything was top notch! I highly recommend to spend any holiday at Romanov.

No where close to what Russian Restaurants in NY have to offer, but it's better then what San Francisco has to offer. It deserves a solid 3 stars. And I do recommend to come check out this place at least once.

ROMANOV restaurant is a wonderful experience. The show is amazing, the food is delicious,and the staff is very I mean very pleasant. I absolutely loved the culture it presents. The music is live and energetic and the Saturday acrobatic show was all together a great experience. I will absolutely go to visit the place again. Me and my husband had an amazing evening.
