Pork Shish Kabob Baby Octopus Salad Expresso Martini Server: Petroslav was an amazing professional. The outside was slammed, and this guy never missed a beat. Water filled. The food was flavorful. The pork kabobs were a bit fatty for my taste, but the meaty parts were packed with flavor. Great drinks. Great! My companions who brought me obviously loved their food as well. The atmosphere was scenic. The ocean view under the umbrella canopy was exactly where you wanted to be at the beginning of the summer. 5 stars: recommend to others. read more

Had a dinner in Tatiana, beautiful summer evening, boardwalk sitting, ocean breeze- perfect location! It was Tuesday, 7pm. We came without any reservation. A lot of table available-huge outdoors sitting area-space for many guests. Waiter came to check on us very quickly, we order our drinks. The vine list looks bigger, than the menu. Used to Tatiana was famous for a huge selection of dishes, nowadays- just a small fraction of it. We ordered Octopus salad, Mussels and Potato with Shiitake mushrooms as cold and hot appetizers (party of 2). The vine came fast enough, my Sauvignon Blanc was in right temperature and the amount of vine was very generous! As well all our dishes. Each dish might be shared easily for 2-3 people. Octopus salad was not bad-interesting combination of greens with grilled veggies and octopus in some kind of dressing. Mussels very excellent- souse absolutely delicious and potatoes with mushrooms- OK, but not super tasty. We had to ask to bring us an extra empty plate for mussel's shells and for wet towels to clean our hands after mussels dish. Everything was delivered very quickly. Tip#1. Portions are very generous-good for 2-3 people Tip#2. The check came with 15% gratitudes including , but in the c/c bill they ask for an extra tip- be visual. We didn't pay any extra tip over already included. Overall: nice location, especially on summer, oversized portions and quick service. read more

Desserts were beautifully presented and tasted amazing. The outdoor area felt really nice, though I wish smoking wasn't allowed there, including staff vaping. I would come back for the food. However, a waitress who is serving tables and walking around vaping shows poor service standards and leaves a negative impression. read more

Tatiana Restaurant - Russian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Charging a $300 non-refundable deposit for dinner is very funny, but no amount of irony or kitsch could make this scam worth it.

The food was good. The salad was fresh, the hot entrees were hot and well made. The portions were generous. But the bread tasted like it came on a slow boat from a bad bakery and in Russia. As good as the food was, the service was so awful as to make to ensure I will never return. We had to ask for v the bad bread several times. We had to ask for water a few times. Our waitress spent more time vaping than serving. We were there for 45 minutes and got our entre to go as we were leaving. The tip was included in the bill but the waitress was visibly and loudly angry when we didn't add to it. The ambiance indoors was chaos and disfunction. In summary: good food subsumed by bad execution. ​​ read more

Stumbled upon Tatiana while I was with friends trying different Russian food in 3 different restaurants. I know, sounds crazy! But we had such a great time. We had a drink here and tried the chicken kiev. It was delish!! A little pricey since this was right on the boardwalk. But it was worth the stop. Service was fantastic. read more

Tatiana Restaurant - Chicken Cutlet Kiev - Russian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

I dined at Tatiana Restaurant on weeknight recently to enjoy a good meal and the board walk and fulfilled both. We ordered some salad, some potatoes with mushrooms, some salmon, the chicken kebab, and black currant ice cream. All were very good and filling. It should be noted that the place can be a bit pricey compared to other places to the point where you might think the prices are inflated due to the location by the beach, but the portions are huge. You are getting your money's worth. The service was very friendly. I would definitely recommend checking out this place if you're in the Coney Island area as it is great way to cap off a cool summer night. read more

Fun times at Tatiana's! My first visit was with coworkers. The vibe was casual, festive and relaxed. The food was plentiful and good. Don't remember the specifics but perhaps, the vodka was working it's magic. Service was also very responsive and friendly. Our table was situated on top of thick plexiglass. Underneath was a large tank with various fish swimming around. Kind of kitchy but somehow works with the overall atmosphere of the restaurant. There's also plenty of outdoor seating and we enjoyed live music the evening we went. read more

My friend and I came to Tatiana after a nice day at the beach on Brighton. The restaurant is buzzing and always busy and has a great ambience, I love that we sat on the boardwalk. Service was pretty good and attentive. I went with the grilled Bronzino and my friend ordered the chicken Caesar salad. The salad was delicious with plenty of Parmesan cheese however, they missed an order and did not add chicken. My Bronzino took a while to come out and I do think it was delicious, but it was a little bit lacking in seasoning, overall I think the food here is a little bit on the bland side could really add a little bit more salt. The potatoes were absolutely delicious. I wish they were a little better. This is a great restaurant with good quality food with Some slight improvement. Definitely only come here during the peak season when things are fresh and the kitchen is busy. read more

This place has been a part of Brighton as far as I can remember. The food is very authentic, and so is the service :) Eating here looks and feels like I'm back in the USSR, take that as you will! read more

COME FOR THE SHOW!!!!! WOW, I've wanted to check this place out for years. Finally got a group together and already planning to go back with a bigger crew because we want to do the banquet! Were there some weird moments of poor service? Totally! Did that get in the way of the delightful fever dream or the fact the dancers were really good? Not at all! I felt like I was living inside of Eurovision for one beautiful night. We got there around 8 and it was well after 11 when we wandered out. The appetizers were really, really good. They force you into ordering way too much food, but do not skip the deserts. We tried three and all were excellent. Drinks were a little hard to come by and really that was the biggest bummer of the night. But truly loved the experience and can't wait to go back! read more

We used to go to Tatiana every time we came to the south Brooklyn. The food is typically good, although slightly overpriced. However, the portions are huge, so if you take more than one dish, a doggy bag is a must. This Saturday, the chicken tabaka was overdried. The fried potato had too much garlic on top. The rest of the food was good. We arrived late on Saturday evening to have dinner and watch a show. What we did not like much was the fact that the restaurant charged us $30/person for a 30 min show. You couldn't see that on their website, and they don't tell you this when you make a reservation. I've been in a few Russian restaurants with "shows", and no place ever charged for the show. Well, it was still OK, as the dances were good, although it was hard to see from the table we sat at. What we hated was that the boys at the coat check wanted $3 per coat right away. Strange, to say the least. Then one of us realized she had forgotten a phone (money!) in her pocket. When she asked to take a phone from the coat, a boy wanted an extra $6, saying she had checked out two coats and then checked them again! This is after we spent over $100/person on food and drinks! Also, they charged 18% tips right away. We were kind of ready for 10-15%, as Russian places typically charge that much, but 18% is slightly more than usual. Needless to say, we did not give an extra tip. I think next time we are in Brooklyn, we will try a different establishment. Also, very unlikely that we come to the show again. read more

I used to go to this restaurant on a regular basis, often with friends. However, the last time time was a total disaster. I ordered pelmeni (Russian dumplings) which were awful and cost $20. They charged me $6 for a can of soda(!!). The bill includes mysterious "service charges" plus, on top of that they already added 15% tips. And on top of that they suggest to still tip 20% on top of 15% which they already charged. Here the bottom line. If you want to eat overpriced, crappy food, Tatiana is your place. Don't forget to stamp "SUCKER" across your forehead! read more

The food was very good, but we must have gone on an off night. We were the only table there, there was construction going on, and there was no show. We had a large table and we felt very crowded. The plates didn't even fit on the table. I'd like to try again on a better night, but now I'm not sure. read more

Tatiana Restaurant - Russian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

If you're looking for the ultimate Russian experience in New York Tatiana's is the place!! I had a paradisiacal experience here last June just sitting in their boardwalk dining section, downing beluga in long stem glasses, and watching the everyday rhythm of Brighton Beach. Their food is to die for. Love the buzhenina and pelmeni with mushroom sauce. They're twice as good when accompanied by sporadically spaced vodka shots. read more

Tatiana Restaurant - Russian Near Me - Brooklyn, New York

Sorry, no pictures. You are going to have to use visual imagery for this review. After many months, a friend of mine and I went out to venture out to Tatiana, a respected Russian restaurant in Brighton Beach. I knew beforehand that this would be expensive, but an experience nonetheless. It also happens to moonlight as a restaurant, but a nightclub after dark. There is also a sister restaurant, Tatiana Grill, but this is where you go for banquets or a more fancy meal. We got several items, prepared all the way to pay a lot, and in the end, we did. Damage was done. Kompot: Basically an Eastern European fruit drink, and it is not terrible. They serve it in a large pitcher, and it helps strengthen your pallet for what is to come later, because the food is going to carry a lot of weight. 3.5 stars Bread: Complementary bread with butter is also provided. The bread is dry, the butter does little to help it, but hey, never turn it down. Free is free, right? 2 stars Harcho: Their take on a Georgian classic, we both enjoyed this very much. Good flavor of broth, the lamb is tender and falls off the bone, nice texture of other things, but it is expensive. This is where the Kompot comes in handy. 3.5 stars Khachapuri - Adjaruli: I have been wanting to try Khachapuri for a long time, and it did not disappoint. The bread is cooked beautifully, the design is splendid, and the combination of bread, cheese, butter, and egg not only make this glorified cheese bread more memorable, but also easy on the stomach. I think the both of us were caught off guard with how good this thing is, and how dangerous it could be if you have no self control. 4 stars Entrees: I got the Cornish Game Hen, my friend got the Chicken Kiev. Both times we were happy that the chicken was cooked through, and it had a tasty crust. The sides though were plain and bland. Not too memorable, though the portion sizes were ample enough that my friend needed a box to take his home. 3.5 stars Service: Our server was a bit curt, slightly rude and gruff, but maybe that is because we were not in on her jokes. I did not like that she did get us water at the start, only when we were 3/4 of the way through our lunch. However, she was knowledgeable about the menu, was honest, and even showed us how to eat our food properly. When eating ethnic cuisine, it never hurts to ask how to eat it, you will never look bad; it shows you are not an Ugly American. 3 stars -- Would I return here? Maybe. It is a unique experience, but the fair food at a fairly high price might be the tipping point. I only hope next time I order less and be more smart, that way I can enjoy my meal and feel less naive about this cuisine and more receptive to the jokes. read more

Outside boardwalk seating is great for after beach vibes. Here Tatiana doesn't have to compete much since there are not many Al fresco options on the boardwalk. After seating that's where the excitement ends. I feel like this place operates on a solid seasonal basis and prices reflect the "must grab whatever we can" while in season. I'm ok with covering up your operating costs but the food here is decidedly mid. We got chicken shish, bowl of cold borsh and smoked seafood platter. Total cost was $117 , tip already included. Borsh was sent back when they brought pepper soup. Where are the beets? Waitress said she hasn't tasted it . Sad read more

As my friend aptly put it: "It's like cabaret, circus, Eurovision and an Eastern European wedding reception all in one." We took some out of towners, thinking we could really give them a unique NYC experience, and boy did we get it. We danced. We ate. We got drunk off our faces. We witnessed a fight. *Someone who shall go unnamed from my group got so amped she danced right out the door and ran straight across the boardwalk to the beach and skinny dipped in the cold fall Atlantic waves. Apparently no regrets. As far as food goes - I recommend the Cornish Hen and particularly loved the pickled veggie plate. Believe me: get the pickled veggies if you're into that sort of thing. Their pickled tomatoes are nuts! But let's be honest - you're going to Tatiana's with your friends to get some rowdy wedding reception vibes. read more

I don't mind an oceanfront / boardwalk place over-charging for their location. Fine, $17 for a glass of CA Sauvignon Blanc that is a $5 bottle wholesale. Fine, $24 for escargot. What I mind is warm wine, terrible food, overcooked mussels (like rocks - couldn't eat more than a few), no water, food that takes 1 hr 10 mins to come out, and staff that seems overworked to the point of despair. Meanwhile, management chats at points of service and doesn't care when ppl are having a bad experience. Do not go. read more

It pains me to leave this review. I am a polish woman and a big fan of all Eastern European cuisine. My boyfriend who is Jamaican and I decided to take a spontaneous Sunday evening drive to Brighton beach and I was so excited to introduce him to authentic pelmeni and kachapuri emurelli bread. Once we sat about 20 minutes went by before anyone came over. We had to actually stop 2 different people just to get a server to come by. We ordered a bottle of Chablis and the food immediately. We had to ask yet another person for water about 10 minutes later. Finally the water and wine came, as did the food and wine but it was clear by the stares and glares from the staff and other diners that my black boyfriend was not welcome in this space. I am heartbroken to say this is not the first time we've experienced this treatment as an interracial couple at an Eastern European restaurant and I just don't get it. This is NYC. In 2024 FFS. To put the icing on the cake our server had the audacity to complain about me not supplementing the included 15% gratuity to the hostess within earshot of us after she picked up the checkbook. Unreal. read more

AMAZING! Went here for a birthday party and it was so worth the banquet menu! The ambiance, service, and food was A+! Our cups overfilled with vodka, beer, and wine, and we had the most amazing food.

You know it's a fancy restaurant if you can say with complete seriousness, "I had to settle for the filet mignon." The outdoor dining area of this place was beautiful and quite spacious. There were white tablecloths on the tables, nice white chairs, and a very charming ambiance. We were served complimentary rye bread, which was pretty tasty. Upon taking a look at the menu, I was immediately drawn to the meat entrees and different varieties of varenikis, which are Russian dumplings. The rack of lamb was a whopping $61, so I decided to order the filet mignon, which was half the price. I asked for the filet mignon to be medium well, but when it came, it looked well done. The filet mignon was delicious, but a bit too charred on the outside and since it was well done, the meat inside was on the dry side. I definitely should have asked for medium, which I plan to do from now on. The flavor was wonderful though and there was plenty of yummy seasoning! The porcini mushroom sauce that accompanied the filet mignon was mouthwatering and paired really well with the steak. It was so good that I wanted even more of it. The dish also came with a medley of colorful vegetables including peppers, eggplant, and tomato. This was cooked perfectly and tasted very fresh. There were also some cherry tomatoes on the side, which were juicy and crunchy. In addition to the vegetables, there were french fries with a sprinkle of Parmesan and some herbs. This was nicely crispy and delightfully flavorful. The service was pretty good and we were taken care of throughout our meal. I would consider returning if in the area to try a seafood entrée and the varenikis. read more

Tatiana is run by people committed to the worst customer service in NYC. On my last visit they had a ground floor bathroom that I could access in my wheelchair.
