We had a birthday party on Friday. Place was not busy . They have tight security, guard got confused and wouldn't let us in at first . Names got screwed up. Show was great, but the food honestly was lacking. Not what we expected ,especially when you pay top dollar. Probably best is the weekend, not during the week. read more

What an amazing experience! The perfect combination of great food, beautiful atmosphere, music, and entertainment. The show was fantastic--energetic, fun, and kept us entertained throughout the evening. The food was delicious, the drinks were great, and the service was attentive and friendly. The whole place has such a lively, upscale vibe and turns dinner into a complete night out. We had an incredible time from beginning to end and will definitely be back. Highly recommend for a special occasion or a fun night out with friends! read more

I normally don't write bad reviews. If you look at my other reviews, they're almost all 5 stars because I like supporting small businesses. Last night, my friend and I visited this restaurant. We were told there was a $50 cover charge, and if we wanted a table, we had to spend $150-$200 per person. We decided to sit at the bar instead and ordered food and drinks. The bar service was fine, and the show itself was good. However, before we entered, security told us that once the show started, we would not be allowed to use the restroom for 30 minutes. We accepted that, but when the show began, several employees and a security guard stood directly in front of us and completely blocked our view. I politely asked a few times if they could move because we were there to watch the show, but they didn't seem to care. The security guard remained directly in front of me, making it impossible to see. Eventually, I had to move to an empty table by myself just to watch part of the performance, while my friend stayed at the bar. There were plenty of empty tables available, which made the situation even more frustrating. What made this even more disappointing was that by the end of the evening, the two of us had spent about $450 on food and drinks--more than enough to meet the table minimum they originally mentioned. Despite that, we were never offered a table and remained at the bar. Unfortunately, after paying the cover charge and spending that much money, not being able to properly watch the show was very disappointing. Because of this experience, I don't think I'll be returning. read more

If you enjoy life entertainment & show, then this is the place to be! $50 p/p for an entertainment (Russian, Armenian, English songs) was absolutely worth it. The show was interesting and entertaining as well! Our server Gayane was very attentive and friendly, always checking on us, and maintaining a clean table. If you are party of 6 and/or more, they offer a set menu with a different price range ($135, $175, $250 p/p). Since we were only party of 2 we had to order from a menu. Cheese platter, salmon carpaccio, vinaigrette salad, wague beef, & bronzino. A manager or the owner came to our table with a plate of lamb chops, as a token of appreciation, that was very sweet-thank you! Everything was delicious, however, if you really hungry the portions are small, it won't satisfy you. We had a big lunch earlier, so we felt great with it. Another great touch was, they have a photographer that goes around the whole evening, and takes pictures of the guests. Within few minutes you get an offer of purchasing your pic in a nice frame for $20 (a fare price in my opinion). Even though we didn't need all 3 pics of us, we still purchased them all in support of the photographer's business. In all, yes it's pricey, and adds up quickly, but absolutely worth it! We will be back. I highly recommend this restaurant for a birthday celebration, or even if you just want a special evening with your significant one. read more

Dinner and a show! We went to Romanov for a birthday party on a Saturday night. Riding the elevator with another couple, we were asked if we'd been here before, probably because we were not Russian. They said we would be in for a treat. Boy were they right! It is an ornate lounge with chandeliers, live performers, and a dance floor. Apparently, we were told, a very popular place for any celebration by the older Russian generation. It is truly a unique experience, especially for an introvert who loves to stay home. The place was packed with mostly large groups that were ready for a fun night out. The first course/appetizer spread is extensive. Mostly cold dishes from carpaccio and roe to avocado salad and cheese. This is accompanied by soda and vodka. After about an hour, the place gets loud and lively with a mix of traditional Russian songs and classic American. People flock to the dance floor where the lights change color. It felt like a wedding or bar mitzvah reception. Honestly, was so fun to watch the dancing but way too loud to chat with anyone. When everyone needed a break, the second course came out which was home style potatoes and an assortment of grilled meats. These were delicious and more to my taste. Unfortunately, we had to leave around 1015p, but it felt like the majority of the crowd was prepared to stay much longer. Parking is valet but we found a nearby structure at the Bank of America building. read more

My sister had her company Christmas party here. It was definitely an experience that I have never had before. It really reminded me of a mini Vegas experience. It was super fun. Lots of dancing lots of sequences lots of glam. We had a good time we went out on the dance floor. The show was actually really amazing. It was a Vegas type Cirque du Soleil show, and I was really impressed with the show, and there was live music the whole entire time. It was probably one of the most fun work Christmas parties I've ever been to. read more

The atmosphere and the show were great, but that's where the positives end. The food portions were surprisingly small for the prices they charge. The biggest disappointment was the final bill. When you're busy celebrating with your guests, it's easy not to notice every detail. By the end of the night, the total was shockingly high and nowhere close to what we expected. Make sure to carefully check every item on your bill before paying. read more

This is my first time, I've ever been to this restaurant of Ventura Blvd in Studio city with this modern look to all of it around me due to the ambiance and the way it was built. The main issue of the entire restaurant is how loud the music is playing where I can't hear anyone whenever I'm trying to ask them or talk to them about something whether it's something important or not. The food that was served from the table wasn't that fresh as well in my opinion in which could've been better served if there was enough portions coming to it. one thing, I did enjoy is the show that was performing on stage that kind of reminds me of love and romance concept. Other than that I still wouldn't recommend anyone coming to this place at all because it's only open on Fridays and Saturdays, and I don't understand how it's still in business for 19 years from now as of 2026. read more

I was left with a very bad impression after visiting the Romanov restaurant. The premises, the service, the prices, the entertainment, the valet parking--it's simply ridiculous and outrageous. Also - we overpaid $ 500.00 . It's a complete loss of spirit and a waste of money--a considerable amount, and not worth it. I don't recommend anyone go there--find something more decent. read more

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. Thank you so much for everything! read more

This place is known for its music, which is exactly why we came--but the experience was extremely disappointing tonight. Around 1am, their sound system stopped working, and instead of resolving it promptly, they struggled with it for over 30 minutes with no clear communication or urgency. We understand that technical issues can happen, but what matters is how they're handled. There was no meaningful update, no contingency plan, and no effort to accommodate guests who specifically came for the music. After waiting half an hour with nothing happening, we had no choice but to leave. Never returning, the sound system is not that complicated, get your things together, Romanov!! read more

I just had my birthday here with 26 dinner guests and another 10 who visited for drinks at the bar, everyone had such an amazing time. The food was great, the entertainment was amazing, the no corkage fee with the alcohol worked out really well, we loved the dancing and the music. Highly recommend and will be back soon! read more

Romanov Restaurant was amazing, and Sose made the experience even better! Her energy, professionalism, and attention to detail were exceptional. She was patient, friendly, and made us feel like VIP guests. Truly one of the best servers we've had! read more

Overpriced the show is amazing but I wasn't expecting a $995 before tip bill for 4 people. Thats outrageous, the restaurant was semi empty with only a quarter of tables full. I'm assuming because of the price. Again the show is amazing but the price tag is crazy. $995 never ever again read more

This place is a disaster!!!! Will not recommend Stuff is disrespectful!!!! Food overpriced!!!! No alcohol in a menu read more

The food was amazing and with quality ! The service was great everyone was nice and polite .

We paid for the $175 package at this restaurant, expecting good service and proper food for our guests -- but it turned into a disaster. Our guests arrived around 8:00 PM, and we didn't get the hot dishes until 11:10 PM. Before that, they only brought a few blinchiks, which reached only half of our guests -- the rest got nothing. Everyone sat hungry for hours. When we expressed our frustration, they brought us a salad -- but that salad was already included in our paid menu, and they tried to act like they were doing us a favor.The food was late, the service was careless, and the staff were completely unprofessional. It was embarrassing in front of our guests. We'll never come back, and we don't recommend this place to anyone read more

I still can't believe how disappointing my birthday night at RomanovRestaurant 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 failed 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. read more

Romanov is a fun night out--great vibes, cool Russian-style interior, and live entertainment. The service is friendly and attentive. Food is good, but the atmosphere is the real highlight. Definitely more of a show than a quiet dinner. read more

Romanov is a wonderful restaurant experience combining high quality international food, perfect service, live European music and a large dance floor. Both large parties and small tables are able to enjoy a night out at Romanov. The live show is great and changes frequently. Highly recommend for a weekend night. Nice to see people dressing well in Los Angeles again also. read more

One of the best experiences ever. The food was delicious, the show and the restaurant atmosphere were very pleasant and cool. You can have a great time here, and everyone will love it. The managers and staff are very welcoming and helpful. The music is very interesting, a mix of songs from different generations, showing how music unites people. This is definitely one of those places you'll come back to again and again. read more

Such a great experience! The food was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. You can really taste the quality in every dish. The atmosphere is welcoming and everything runs so smoothly.

We went to the Romanov restaurant to celebrate a birthday. Our table was ready for our arrival and beautifully set. Excellent service, fantastic food - fresh, flavorful, and perfectly cooked.

Great experience having an "Old" New Year's celebration on January 13. Really impressive show with great musicians and talented gymnasts. The costumes were exquisite. Very celebratory atmosphere and nice ambience overall. The service was great, attentive waiters were available for any requests. We've heard nice things from friends and happy we finally went to see for ourselves Will definitely come back. read more

Very bad service, they started to serve the main dishes at 11:00 pm after we started to complain. The service was careless, food was horrible for price, the music was terrible, the seats were so close to each other that we couldn't even move. read more

We went to Romanov for the first time last night on the invitation of one of our friends to celebrate her birthday. Our table was ready when we arrived and it was setup nicely with all the silver ware, serving plates, folded cloth napkins, the appetizers, soft drinks and wine and champagne bottles. The decore and entertainment stage are magnificent. Our server checked up on us as soon as we were seated and was very pleasant and took good care of us the entire evening. The main dishes were served properly and were very yummy. The entertainment was absolutely first class with top acts and singers and a live band worthy of its own separate event but it's included with dining at this place. We definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a fun filled night out on the town and looking to go back soon. There's both valet parking and a huge 4 level self parking garage too with lots of parking spaces. read more

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. read more

Hi there how can I contact the owner and book a private banquet?? Thank you! The decor and food amazing! Really love the ambiance and the whole experience read more

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. read more

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. read more

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! read more

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! read more

Romanov Restaurant & Lounge - New Year's party 2020 - Russian Near Me - Studio City, California

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. read more

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. read more

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 read more
