    2 nd time here. Did not disappoint!! Atmosphere is fantastic with live music nightly. Mater dei is an excellent host who knows how to take care of his guests. Vodka was nice and cold and the food was spectacular!! The salmon blini appetizer was some of the best smoked salmon I've had and the entire dish ws delicious amd presented beautifully! We also had the beef stroganoff and stuffed cabbage which I'm still dreaming about!! Did I mention the vodka was nice and cold (and infused flavors without sugars). Super smooth and easy to drink. If you're looking for a memorable night with A+ food, people and music, just go! You won't regret it!!!
