Austin Restaurant ATX Grill Closed, New Restaurant Rose Gose Opens in North Loop - Eater Austin

"Russian House in downtown Austin, opened by Varda Monamour and her husband and chef Vladimir Gribkov in 2012, was a Russian/Slavic/Eastern European restaurant that changed its name in early 2022 in solidarity with Ukraine due to the Russian invasion and ongoing war. The restaurant, which had been meant to temporarily close for renovations in the summer of 2022, ended up closing permanently." - Nadia Chaudhury

Delicious food and a cool ambiance. The service was good and the waitstaff very attentive. Overall great experience and a nice place to good from time to time. The drink selections and vodka were great. Nice bar area for gatherings. Really helps that the menu has photos to help with the selection. The dining area had smaller cozy tables and larger ones for larger groups. Bathrooms were very clean and had plenty of room.

Russian House has been on my list for a while now and I finally got to go! It’s an authentic place with tons of flavored vodkas, Russian servers and Russian owners. You can also live it up, if you are feeling brave, and wear some Russian gear- military hats, clothing and some giant shoes (don’t understand that part). But it is a great place! I felt like I needed to try everything as I don’t think I’ve ever indulged myself in Russian feasts. Started off with the classical Julienne with chicken and mushrooms. I know, not a traditional Russian dish but it looked good, and tasted good too! Then we got some Ukrainian Borsch- a warm beet soup. I’m not normally a beet fan but I knew I had to get this. I don’t think I could do the soup cold, which is also an option. The main dish was the tandoori medium plate (pork ribs, chicken legs, pork sausage, veggies and baked potatoes. The spices were great. I think the sausage may have been my favorite. Finally I had to get dessert. My friend got the Napoleon cake (not Russian) and I got the Babushka Rose which was a chocolate hazelnut dessert that was rich and something I’ll get every time. Thanks Russian House for a great night!

Food 7/10 Service 7/10 Clean 8/10 Great place. Designed like soviet time Russia with all that charm, old pictures on the wall, newspapers and specific servers uniforms. A lot of details. I love it! Food was also great! Ive tried herring and Ukrainian borscht. They also give you complimentary home made vodka at the beginning with coleslaw, bread and chives. Service was good but because place are so popular and crowded our server was always busy. But it did not affect our great experience! Will come back again! Thank you!

We decided to have Russian food last night. They started us off with complimentary vodka shots and fresh sauerkraut..I have to say that was a nice way to start the meal! We ordered Golubtsy and a Tandoori mixed plate. Delish from beginning to end! Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes!

Excellent place to have brunch. The ambiance is so cute, like an old house in Russia. The food is great, the staff super friendly. You will love the little touch of Russia. There is 3 pages of vodka if you're into it

Overall good experience. Interesting decor. Big vodka selection. We were seated in a private room, separated from other private rooms by curtains. Very cool. The food was good and reasonably priced. They may have been short-staffed because there were long periods of time we were left alone. A fun dinner.

Really quaint Russian feel with lots of little decor treasures in display. Great Eastern European food options- everything we tried was perfectly seasoned and prepared. Like being in Grandma's kitchen. Their infused vodka selection and display is astounding. Don't forget to throw on a hat and/or jacket and pose for a picture with the bear!

There are so many options here that I just want to go back again and again to try. Above and beyond what your standard fare may be, the ability to try a lot of foods you may never have come across before is an absolute treat. And that’s not even getting to their huge selection of infused vodkas. This is a place where the food is just as good as the experience.
