An ode to Russian lit luminary Alexander Pushkin, this luxe West Village restaurant—sporting cream tufted walls and brass chandeliers—takes its name from his verse novel Eugene Onegin. A massive portrait of Pushkin hangs on the ceiling, and dark-brown tables display the poet's scribbles (copied from manuscripts with a goose-feather quill, no less). Sink into one of the plush gold-tan chairs and order from a menu of Eastern European classics like chicken Kiev, braised beef short ribs and Sturgeon Moscow, which is topped with cheese and stewed in a clay pot. At the center of the kitchen is a custom-built pechka, the traditional wood-burning brick oven of old-country households. It adds a touch of smolder to hot-smoked fish, homemade kielbasa and pierogi encased by the traditional yeast dough. The beverage program takes a more modern approach: In addition to 20 vodkas (Russian Standard, Beluga), drinkers can find the spirit infused with horseradish, honey pepper and other flavors.

I was invited to a birthday dinner by a friend of mine and had a very bad experience in this place. The air quality was poor and there was a distinct smell of stale, moldy air. The execution was very very poor, the pate was seemingly pulled out of a can, I did not eat my main meal that Duck Salad - it was taken away from the table even before I tried it since I went to the ladysroom. I asked the waiters why would they take away the food and they totally ignored me. At this point I was ready to go but stayed only because I didnt want to ruin my friend's birthday. The staff was beyond RUDE and the music was beyond loud, even thoug there was no dance floor in this restaurant. The prices are relatively high for such a bad quality restaurant. Tehre were a lot of drunk and obnoxious people in the restaurant and some of them acted really dirty, loud and embarrassing. The manager of the restaurant whose name is Jacob doesn't seem to have any control of the staff and basically doesn't care what is going on in his restaurant.
