Cafe St Petersburg - NEWTON CENTER

Great quiet outdoor location with delicious food with another cultural twist. You will enjoy your food here. Service was great with a timely presentation of the various courses. The waiter was quite knowledgeable about all dishes.

Meet old friends. The first time in this restaurant. Nicely surprised with everything.

The place itself is nothing to write at home. It is dark with very modest decor. The server was very attentive and helpful as it was our first time to eat Russian food. The vodka shots were delicious, but they ran out of the one we most liked after two shots (jalapeño and honey). The appetizers were very delicious and the Borscht was also very good. We ordered two main courses (the chicken skewer and the sturgeon), but they were very bland, not worth the effort. We haven't been offered desserts, so we don't know if there is at all. At some point a big party came and sat at the table next to us and then is when the really loud music and flashing lights that began to dazzle us that made with a conversation almost impossible. As an American without experience in Russian or Eastern European cuisine, my opinion is that it is a decent place for appetizers and a few shots of dilute vodka. The only other table we saw during the 3 hours we were there on a Saturday evening, was this huge party of Russians or Eastern European people and a party that went on in the opposite part of the restaurant, which could be an indicator of the authenticity of the kitchen and a place only for people who really know and appreciate this food.

Very nice culinary experience. The food was very delicious. Would go back.

Amazing food and great atmosphere. Pricing is also fairly reasonable. 100% worth it if anyone wants to try the best quality Slavic food in the big Boston area.
