"We went there I believe on Christmas day, and returned on January 15 to try the deli. We started with chicken liver pate spread on toasted brioche. Th pate is extremely smooth and creamy, one of the best I tasted, even if slightly sweet. I bought more during our trip to the deli, and will try the goose pate later. At the start of our dinner, I ordered a Fairytale Blossom cocktail, smooth Russian vodka, shaved ice and elderflower which was smooth with delicate flavors. I tend to dislike cocktails in general as tastes and sweetness tend to be overpowering but this is exceptional. I had in mind to order chicken Kyiv but changed it to Pelmeni, mine with beef and pork with a brothy sauce drizzled over them and surrounded by sour cream garnished with sprouts. Warm dumplings and cool cream. A very interesting combination of flavors and textures which, taken in combination with the Fairytale Blossom, bring up thoughts of wintry hikes. My wife had the rack of lamb, ordered medium rare. It is lightly seared and fatty bits were removed by the Chef. I have had poor experiences with lamb meat in the past, but this tasted great, the meat almost melting in your mouth. I also tried an Estonian beer which proved very satisfying, with light fruit tones but not sweet. The service is prompt and attentive and thankfully knowledgeable as I was unfamiliar with much of the menu. As for the food, Babushka is blessed with a Chef with a capital C."

"When we visit a new area, we try to check out a new bakery and this was such a win except for the really strange experience we had inside the store.We came on 4/6 around 1pm. There was a customer ahead of us who was just about to leave and there was a lady with a clipboard walking around the inside being really rude towards the staff member. It was EXTREMELY uncomfortable to the point where I did not even see everything because I felt unwelcome and I just wanted to get out of there as soon as I could. She was pointing out all the things she was doing wrong in a very demeaning way in front of us which in my opinion is so unprofessional. The staff member just took it and said Ok I'm sorry. Ok I'll fix next time sorry. She made this lady start moving pastries around as we were browsing??? I understand if things were not up to some standard but it could have waited until the customers left the very tiny store. We had to keep switching sides because she was pointing at things and making the staff member move things as we were trying to pick out pastries.I just grabbed what I could on first glance and then just tried to get out of the way. Even when we were standing by the cash register this lady was STILL telling the staff to move things around to the point where this lady was now running with trays to move large amounts of pastries. As soon as she was done carrying this huge tray of pastries she quickly came to the cashier and was very polite and kind. Thankfully the quality of the pastries was GREAT. We enjoyed the Duke sandwich, French hotdog and the Mango QQ as soon as we left and have the Taro pastry and Blueberry pastry to try when we get home. We definitely would come back to this chain, but something needs to be done about the rude lady ordering the staff around. It really left a bad taste in my mouth and I almost said something to her because her tone and attitude was so unprofessional and degrading. I felt so bad for the staff. No one deserves to be spoken to that way. Do better."

"12. april 2022 good day, yesterday was our two-year engagement anniversary. I practiced online goals to provide my dame for the evening. After surfing, I remembered each time the crucifixion of amherst and delaware- my dame that I never brought it there. So, right, so I have confirmed reservations for 8:00 clock, which was user-friendly online and easy by my email as well as handy via text. in front, at the arrival there was valet autoservice. the brave man was very welcoming / well managed even opened the doors for my dame and I to get out of the car. added that the initiative was the same for the door to the facility and followed the same way on the outrun part of the facility while it offers to make a picture of us for our memories; to make happiness when it set and done everything. Once they enter the building, there is a coat check in the foyer area if they use this option. after that there is a podium where a hostess checks effortlessly for their reservations and takes them up immediately. the ambiente of this situation is completely extraordinary. the waiting staff is attracted to the impression and the table was set up as if they had expected us. tablecloth as well as crockery were practically brand new and clean. the wine list is quite extensive and the selection of foods was eclectic together to be able to touch all pellets. the waiter I think his name was dave was very attentive and the inconcept helpful to ask while he embodied a charisma that was necessary for the role he was working for. the foods were great and the way the kitchen was prepared was top-tier. I recommend the waygu steak "
