We love the food, the drinks, the strolling musician, Moscow on the hill is where we go for celebrations

I've never had Russian food before so I was really exited about this restaurant. I went for dinner on a Wednesday and they seemed pretty busy but I was able to get sat immediately. They have an amazing outdoor area with both covered and uncovered spaces. The servers were very attentive and made sure to check in on me pretty frequently. The food was better than I expected. I got Yazik (braised beef tongue) mainly because I wanted to try something different. The meat was extremely tender and cut like butter. It tasted very well marinated as well. The portion was pretty big (around 6 thin slices of meat) sitting on top of mashed potatoes. I'd definitely recommend this dish. I'd also recommend trying one of their vodkas! I got one infused with horseradish and it was surprisingly good and very smooth.

Never knew Russian dumplings existed but so glad they do, they were so good. Brought two dogs I was watching for the weekend and the staff was very nice to them and let us sit in the nice patio area and gave them water. The infused vodka drinks are a must-have. I was so happy and tipsy that I took the dogs to the cathedral after and let them run around on the grass.

I met a group here for an informal event. We reserved a table on the patio. It was absolutely beautiful. Our table was on a porch, although there is sitting in the open or under umbrellas as well. Comfy patio chairs greeted us for conversations over cocktails. The cocktails you can get are endless. I opted for a Cosmonaut Cosmo and channeled my inner Carrie Bradshaw. It was so good. Loved the vibe and outdoor seating.

Best dumplings I've ever had in my life. Something about that sour cream + vinegar combo. The cabbage rolls and chicken kiev were great, too. Parking can be a pain in that area and if you don't want to circle the block for hours looking for free street parking, it's $5 to park in the lot next door. Our server was kind of impatient and, at times, it was off-putting.

Great service and great atmosphere to enjoy authentic Russian food! They have no shortage of vodka options as well!

We came in for a midafternoon bite and a tipple. The drinks and beers were so satisfying. They have a lot of Russian themed cocktails or takes on classics. The food runs from something for any American to things only a Russian or Northern European could want. Yes, I have the herring and a side of cabbage. We had their take on escargot; the cheese on top was too much for me. Experimentation leads to discovery so hit and a miss. Staff was young and delightful. They were quick too. The ambiance was mod European-Russian inside. Cool. We sat outside on the deck. This is the place to me. A great mix of folks outside enjoying the sun. If I lived here this would be in my regular rotation.

I came here for one major reason: to finally try khachapuri (a bready boat filled with cheese). I was able to enjoy that at Moscow on the Hill, and so much more. We visited at 11am on a Sunday. We parked at a nearby park that, on a spring-like day, was full of families enjoying the playground. There is also a YMCA adjacent to the restaurant that has available parking that, during our visit, had a posted cost of $5; a sign at the entrance of the restaurant advised that guests inform them if they used the YMCA lot. We were the second people in the door that day, and the first to order. The only complaint I can make about our visit is that the service was incredibly slow, especially for an almost empty restaurant. We were never even asked if we wanted to order more drinks. There was about a 15-20 minute gap between our appetizers and the delivery of our entrees. The restaurant has a fantastic atmosphere. Lots of art, lamps, and heavy curtains. The food is really the star here. Everything we had was incredible. For our appetizers, we did khachapuri and fried pelmeni. The khachapuri lived up to all expectations--this dish is a must for anyone who loves hot bread and melted cheese! The pelmeni were great, too, different than any other dumplings I've had. My husband ordered the fried chicken sandwich. He found the meat perfectly cooked and moist, and really enjoyed the fries. I had the Kamchatka salad, which had perfectly cooked flaky salmon along with greens, green beans, potatoes, and a mélange of other flavors and textures, all made even better by a fantastic dressing. I've never had a salad quite like it! Really fantastic stuff, and it's a large serving, too. The only downside to that was that I was too full to order a dessert, but that was probably just as well, as the slowness of the meal meant we needed to leave, anyway. I would absolutely come here again to try more of the food.

One of my favorite places to hang I Saint Paul. Great food, really great cocktails, lovely porch, cozy interior- what's not to love! Get yourself an Uber sometime and do a flight of flavored vodka. And despite being a pescatarian/vegetarian, O can always find something on the menu. service is always helpful, food always tasty.
