replying to u/manicakes1: * Hawksmoor: $170 steak wasn't cooked properly, service was spotty (credit where due, the side dishes and cocktails were good) * Don Angie: that lasagna is overpriced, over-salted, and very basic. don't even remember the other dishes. was utterly confused by the hype after my meal. * Marea: service beyond bad (we ate at the bar, and our bartender was a grouchy asshole). we had a casual weeknight dinner at Fiat Cafe a week later (let's be honest a middle of the road place) and we agreed the food was better. * 63 Clinton: food was consistently overseasoned and one-note. the caviar hand roll isn't worth it. i feel bad for saying this because the owners are nice people and the service was great. * Mari Vanna: been three times (first time my choice, the rest work dinners and invites). genuinely terrible food and i've tasted half the menu at this point. dunno why people keep going back here.

replying to u/shwysdrf: When Russian NHL players visit NYC they all go to Mari Vanna on 20th and Park. As another commenter noted, you’ll want to order Vareniki

“there is a great restaurant called Mari Vanna on E 20th st. They serve traditional Russian cuisine, which isn't super spicy. Flavorful tho!”

replying to u/sspecialists: I wouldn't go there at all. In Manhattan, if you just want the vibes, Mari Vanna is better and more fun, day of visit dependent. In Manhattan, if you want to try Russian dishes, I would go to the Russian Vodka Room or Russian Samovar.
“^^ Mari Vanna or the Russian Samovar (where the Russian took Sex and the City’s Carrie for their date) are the answers. Good food, and have classic Russian infused vodka shots”

“mari vanna for sure. do the cranberry infused vodka, pelmenis, a couple of the fish mayo salad things, blinis, salo, khinkali, etc. highly recommend going with a group if you can so you can sample all the things.”
