Caviar, Vodka and Russian Gypsy Dancers at Romanov


Upon arriving at Romanov, the new Russian fine dining restaurant and lounge in Studio City, guests are transported by an elevator to an opulent dining room that’s anchored by a 12-foot custom made, gold-plated chandelier. Starters include smoked salmon Napoleons with caviar and crème fraiche, quail Kiev and Pozharsky croquettes. Move onto a beet and goat cheese salad or a bowl of borscht before ordering entrees such as a whole roasted duck, salt baked loup de mer, a 10-ounce Kobe flat iron steak or a milk-fed 16-ounce veal chop. Restaurateur Mikayel Israyelyan, who owns the hot spots Republic and Prana Café in L.A., modeled the high-end Russian hot spot after the Tsar’s Winter Place. Don’t miss the outstanding selection of caviar and vodka or the nightly live music and Russian gypsy dancers on the weekends.
