Staff was okay and the atmosphere was very calm and cozy. We waited for our steak like 10-15 min. The steak was very good and very tasty.

One of the best places we were to - in term of food, atmosphere and everything. Highly recommend if you'd like to eat some meat and drink some wine - sommelier here overwhelmingly experienced, friendly and made best recommendations.

This is not the first time in this restaurant! They keep a very high level !! Meat is better than any praise! The waiters are incredibly caring and humorous ! We celebrated our daughter's birthday - we gave her a bottle of our own brand of wine! Very nice! The Lusine waitress accompanied us all evening, helped us with the selection of dishes and drinks! A very pleasant evening! Memorable! Thanks to the entire restaurant team! We come back again and again when we visit Yerevan!

Excellent Smoking Chef restaurant in Yerevan! The waitress is a real superhero: attentive, friendly, and seems to read minds, because she guessed my steak choice better than I did myself. Serving on a hot board with smoke is not a meal, but a circus performance with smoke effects, where the meat is juicy, fragrant and ready to "dance" on a plate. Without a doubt, the best steak in town – after it, all the others seem like "diet salads"! I recommend it if you want to laugh at your hunger.

Everything is very tasty, the service is great, the interior is beautiful. We are thrilled! We were celebrating a birthday, and we were given a bottle of wine. Cons: the music is very loud when someone is being congratulated, but it lasts a minute or two. Machete steak is really too salty. These two facts are often noted in reviews, dear administration, it's time to react.

We have been going to this restaurant for three years, and it seems to be the best restaurant in Yerevan. Great steaks, tartare, pasta with tiger prawns, mussels, roast beef salad and other dishes. The drinks are very tasty. The staff is friendly, polite, and not intrusive. The food is served quickly enough (relative to other places), and before that they are treated with a mini bucket of fresh vegetables. We come here on weekends, and even to celebrate holidays, and we have never been disappointed yet, everything is always gorgeous.

I really liked the restaurant. The interior, the kitchen, and most importantly, the guys who work there. The staff is very friendly and helpful. As a compliment, fresh vegetables were brought from the establishment in a miniature bucket. It is very cute. Great steak and of course Armenian wine!!! I definitely recommend it!!!

A pleasant place, the food is very tasty Some dishes are big, some are very small Everything I ordered was meat – large The soups I've seen are small The drinks are pleasant, the selection is large, especially wines, but beer is not to be boasted here Handbags are served They serve gloves with burgers, I don't know about mistakes, I didn't ask if there were any Sometimes it's nice to sit outside in the evening, sometimes it's noisy The restaurant is open until 12, but even with a delay of 30 minutes, we were not asked to leave A cup filled with vegetables and herbs is brought to the table while you wait for the main meal

It's a great place with delicious cuisine. I definitely recommend visiting and tasting the meat. Although they can cook sushi and rolls too. The price can certainly be considered above average, but, as it seems to me, it is standard for restaurants in the city center.

A great restaurant if you want to eat steaks made of high-quality meat. The staff is very polite, the interior has a place to relax and eat - nothing superfluous. One minus is more about cooking, I ordered a striploin with medium roasting, they brought me a roasting more like rare.

The food is great, the service is great too. The prices are quite high, but I think they are well deserved. I've been here several times, it's delicious every time, but I give it 4 stars because this time we had some kind of dessert show. I have nothing against the show itself, but the music was turned on at that moment just impossibly loud. It hurt my ears very unpleasantly, it was impossible to speak, and the music was playing loudly for about 2-3 minutes. I was very disappointed with this

The staff was very friendly and courteous, the food and drinks were served on time. Unfortunately, the food itself did not live up to expectations. I ordered mushroom risotto — the mushrooms were delicious, but the risotto itself turned out to be undercooked and bland, I couldn't finish it. My husband ordered a rib eye steak — the meat was tough, with an unappetizing taste and difficult to chew.

Great place, nice atmosphere. The service is at the highest level. The steaks are simply amazing! However, the last time it was like sour wine, although this wine was taken more than once. But this is rather an exception, this has never happened before.

One star for a NOT tasteless, but extremely ordinary burger with an inflated price and primitive serving, and the second for the service, which was not bad compared to other similar establishments. Now let's move on to why we're not coming here anymore. The waiters were painting something with special paints on paper for the boy, apparently it was a holiday, everything was great, everything was cool right up to the moment when they turned on the music so loudly that the ears hurt. The noise was unbearable. Ok, we get it, the child is happy, everything is clear, we have nothing against it, although it all looked very dubious, BUT why such a disregard for the rest of the visitors in the institution? What is the pleasure of drowning out music? It seems like people come to enjoy delicious food, as well as to chat, but with such a volume, it simply ceased to be possible. And in addition, I think the prices are too high.

I really liked it. It's not hot in the restaurant. The tables are quite large, the chairs do not creak. They brought a stand for the bag. The waiters quickly approached. They brought water and a glass of fresh vegetables. A very tasty salad with shrimp, moderately spicy. Dessert with pistachios and meringue is not very sweet, but only in moderation, I have been looking for a similar dessert for a long time. I also liked the lemonade with pomegranate very much. Refreshing, not based on syrup, but natural. The prices correspond to a restaurant of this level. The music is not loud, it does not interfere with talking. I would also like to note that the bathrooms are beautifully equipped, there are no unpleasant odors. Instead of automatic drying, paper towel containers are installed, which is a more hygienic approach. At the moment, I can put 5/5

Tatar is drowned in vinegar, salmon in caesar is overcooked to a crunch, machete steaks are salted to the point of impossibility to eat, rib eye steaks on the bone are almost well done, although medium rare was ordered, eggplant in batter is a thick layout that sticks to the teeth. When dessert was specially served at one of the neighboring tables, the music was turned on so loudly that people sitting at one table had to almost shout to hear each other. And the administrator, who came to express his dissatisfaction aloud, could not offer anything except a free dessert, which we refused, did not even apologize, not to mention something more

I liked everything! Steaks are a top, roasting is what you need, a good selection of meat. The price for any wallet, though only on weekdays))) On weekends, cheaper varieties are disassembled quickly and by the evening there are simply no steaks left up to 10K)) - this is a proven fact)) I also liked the burger, soups and ice cream. A good wine list. I will note the work of the waiters, they are responsive and friendly. In general, we've been there a few times and we'll be back! And when we celebrated the DR, we were presented with a bottle of wine, it was nice)

A good high-level meat restaurant. The restaurant is friendly and attentive. The prices are not small, but quite in comparison with Moscow. A bottle of wine from 2 thousand rubles. Beer from 200 rubles. Steaks from 1000 rubles. Beautiful interior. Good location.

Very tasty, with a hint of pretentiousness, the prices are quite high. We took a meat salad (quite large, you can eat it all by yourself), a machete steak (one of the simplest, the waiter immediately warned that it would be too harsh ...).

One of the favorite restaurants in Yerevan. Amazing service, excellent cuisine and a very pleasant bar. The menu is very balanced - there is something to eat for both a steak lover and those who do not eat meat at all. Wonderful waiters will always help you choose. The price list is very, very pleasant, the portions of the main dishes are not small. A solid 10 out of 5.

A beautiful, cozy place. The service is a solid 5, the waiters are polite and responsive. The steaks are delicious. At the beginning, fresh vegetables are brought in a cup. There are original cocktails in different countries of the world. There is also a beautiful pitch coming to the Russian one. The cocktail itself was surprisingly light and sweet. The prices are high, just like in the center of Moscow.

Great place! I really liked the clipping. I took medium roasts, as I am not a connoisseur of steaks and was delighted. The menu has dishes with unusual serving. For example, there is a Pavlova show (from 6 people). What you need for a fun company (we saw the feed at the next table)

I wanted to put one star, because I really dislike deception and inattention. But the meat is delicious, so two. Of the minuses: the waitress was confused with orders, forgot what she was asked for (while writing everything down), was surprised by the tasting of the ordered wine by the sommelier (explained this by checking whether it was sour), ordered three steaks of different roasts, brought all the same. Veal tenderloin carpaccio is thick (suddenly!) pieces of meat sliced from fried (suddenly!) clippings. They added water to the bill, which I did not drink: I ordered another "the same water" (mineral sparkling Jermuk), they took out non-carbonated, I immediately asked to replace it - they replaced it, but both bottles were added to the bill, it turns out that you can't relax, you need to check the bill, it's unpleasant. Of the advantages: the burgers are delicious (but the degree of roasting was not specified), the meat is also delicious (I wrote about roasting above). Bottom line: I will not come anymore, I will not return to establishments where the level of service did not satisfy me.

A great restaurant. The staff is very professional. (If you poured wine for yourself, it's already an emergency) A cozy atmosphere. The food is very tasty. Great drinks. The prices are slightly higher than average, But if you do not take the most expensive steaks, then it is tolerable. I recommend an atmospheric place
