Last night saw us at Romance for a friend's birthday party. Had not eaten there before but had good reports. The food was in abundance, the tables groaned under the weight.
The night ended with a floor show that was hillarious, they had Terri & Bindi impersonators, I laughed so much though I was going to bring my dinner up, also an Elvis who was cool & the hottest Tina Turner ever. All in all a great night.
Still recovering from Saturday night. What a great night it was. I had booked a table for 32. Had some extra people turn up. The restaurant was very accomodating, even though the restaurant was fully booked!!
The only negative comment that I would make is that the dance floor was to small!! Apart from that, the singer was fantastic, the food was very authentic and the ambience was great!! The group of people I had ranged from 25 to 45 years of age ( non russians ) and then all loved it!!
BTW, we drank the restaurant dry of vodka!!
What a great night
An enjoyable overall experience. Our table was laid out with a vast variety of appetisers when we arrived, then more hot appetisers kept coming! More than enough food was delivered - we were all struggling with our main courses, but did manage to eat all of our sweets.
The singer was great, and the dance floor was full all night. Not the sort of restaurant to eat and run. Would recommend for that Russian dining experience!!
I am a frequent visitor of this place. According to my wife (who is russian), the food is what her mother used to make and I have to agree, I've grown to love it. By the time we get through all the cold and hot entrees, finishing mains is not always possible. While the staff are very attentive, sometimes they get a bit busy, but that's not such a big drawback as we are too busy drinking and dancing.
The music is absolutely great, the atmosphere is loud and friendly. This is the place for regulars, as in the amount of times that I've been there, I started seeing familiar faces. It is definitely a place worth checking out, but for those unfamiliar with russian culture and cuisine, I suggest making some enquiries first.
The service was poor to say the least. You would think for a group of 8 that the meals would arrive promptly. The set menu was ok, except for the fact that the mains didn't arrive for just on 2 hours and then the vegetables were cold. Whilst the staff are friendly, I feel that if you were after good quality food then perhaps look elsewhere. I must admit also that for $55 per head for a set menu you would assume that it would be value for money. I must admit, there are 8 people that won't be coming back.
A beautiful place to enjoy authentic russian cooking. Very fresh food and pleasant helpful staff. I highly recommend the kiev. Lovely dining experience.
Romance is awesome!! We had a large group function there and partied all night! The service was fantastic and very genuine. The food was impeccable fit for a king!
Kostya Tszyu and family were also there and having a great time as well dancing and singing... a truely memorable experience for all of us.
I want to thank Daniel and the great staff at Romance for making my trip to Sydney very memorable mostly due to the excellent experience I had at Romance. My friends and I from Perth will be making a return visit everytime we come back to Sydney.
