Fodor's Review:

In a handsome prerevolutionary building, a prior restaurant here once hosted Leo Tolstoy and Ilya Repin. During the Soviet era it was the most prestigious restaurant in town before slipping into near terminal decline. It now has a new lease on life with three separate restaurants—Brazilian, Italian, and European—operating inside. All in all, it's a vast, brash, extravagant, often tasteless, yet curiously appealing place. You could spend days wandering about the luxurious interior—gold and marble abound (even the metal detector is covered in marble). The Brazilian buffet is the best all-around bargain.
