Mari Vanna DC Washington Reviews from The Last Year
Amazing place.
Love every piece of the good. The decor is very warm and welcoming. Too bad they closed.
Had a wonderful meal here with my family.
Looking at the menu , I wanted to order every appetizer there. I had to settle for three of them , the grilled artichoke salad , the mushroom barley soup and the khachapuri which is a wonderful melted feta and mozzarella on bread. I need to go back again to try all the herring dishes next time. For entrees we had the beef stroganoff and the chicken Kiev. Both of these were wonderful. I would have them again and again. For dessert we had the syrneki which was like cheese blintzes and the cherry vyreneki which was like cherry filled pirogies both were excellent. We really liked the Russian tea service in the tall glasses The service was great. Our waiter was around any time we needed him but was not omnipresent. The decor of the place was wonderful, we loved all the antiques and Knick-knacks all over and the signs written in the Cyrillic alphabet all over. If you have any problem walking up stairs tell them before you go because most of the rooms are up 2 or 3 flights of stairs. I can't wait to return.
Mari Vanna serves up eastern European fare, and they have
Mari Vanna serves up eastern European fare, and they have both a brunch and a dinner menu. A group of us came here for a friend's birthday, and we were seated right away - since we all studied the menu, we were all ready to place our orders. We started off with: +the Platinum Osetra Black Caviar - served with blinis and onions, eggs, and sour cream as condiments +Eggplant Rolls - roasted eggplant slices stuffed with cheese, garlic, and mayo with walnuts on top; served with salted tomatoes stuffed with cilantro, dill, and garlic +Herring Under a "Fur Coat" - this is actually one of my favorite dishes in general; this was a layer of chopped herring, roasted carrots, beets, potatoes, mayo, and topped with shaved hardboiled eggs +Cured Herring - herring fillet marinated with onions and served with boiled potatoes and rye bread +Soleniya - pickled veggies +Homemade Blinis - with house-cured salmon +Pelmenis - you can opt for dumplings filled with veal, pork & beef, or chicken, in which we went for the chicken, and chose to have these boiled in preparation rather than in a chicken broth +Potato Vareniki - potato dumplings with caremalized onions +Pirozhok - pies stuffed with potatoes - you can also opt for either a meat or a cabbage filling For our mains, we tried: +the Beef Stroganoff - strips of filet mignon with mushrooms and onions in a mustard sauce; served with buckwheat +Lamb Shank - served with mashed potatoes and a rosemary sauce on the side +Beef Shashlik - served with a green salad and sun-dried tomatoes +the Roast Duck - served with cabbage and apple sauce Service was friendly and attentive, and the decor of the restaurant is beautiful - rustic, colorful, and cozy. Try to request an upstairs seating, as the view is better. Limited street parking and garage parking available. +caviar service +friendly staff +request upstairs seating
Great environment.
Good infused vodkas. Had the piroshky. It was tasty but slightly cold on the inside
Good experience, although I expected a little more
Good food, without being spectacular either. Good dry service. The best: the decoration and atmosphere. The Stroganoff was very good.
I am a big fan of Eastern European food and this place did
I am a big fan of Eastern European food and this place did not disappoint. Firstly, the service was quick and the interior was nice and comfy. I felt very relaxed and cozy inside the restaurant. Now for the food, all dishes I had were a trip to Flavortown. For appetizers, I had the Borsch Soup, Potato Varenki, and Siberian Pelmeni. The soup was warm, flavorful, and had tender/juicy beef. The dumplings were also very good and went well with the sour cream. I enjoyed each appetizer and have nothing bad to say. For my entree, I had the Beef Stroganoff and the Lamb Shank, which are two of my favorite dishes ever. The execution of the dishes were on point, as the meat was super tender and juicy and would fall right off the bone by just using my fork. Overall, I throughly enjoyed Mari Vanna and would recommend to anyone who wants to try Eastern European food.
So glad we found this place when my family visited DC! Food
So glad we found this place when my family visited DC! Food is superb! Never had eggplant roll that good. And the beef tongue! The decor was cozy and Christmasy, just really lovely for a wintry night. Service was very accommodating. Will definitely come back here. A fun place to take out of town friends to.
Walking into Mari Vanna is so different than most other
Walking into Mari Vanna is so different than most other restaurants in DC- its like walking into a Victorian dollhouse. You are greeted right away- we got a prime window seat right at the front of the restaurant. It really felt like dining in someone's house. We started with a flight of the different vodka options and an appetizer of the blinis as well as Khachapuri. The fruit flavored vodkas are strong but all have very distinct tastes. The blinis were excellent and a great starter for the meal and the Khachapuri is addicting. The Beef Stroganoff was a perfect entrée and more than enough to split for two. It was a fantastic one of a kind meal in DC.
This restaurant is amazing.
We traveled from San Diego to visit DC, and we had heard about the amazing food here. We (family of 3 w/small child) showed up with no reservations, and it wasn't a problem at all. The service is top notch, and the food is superb. The decor is so beautiful and I had the best late lunch here. I would recommend this restaurant it was the best service we have had in DC.
Really nice experience.
I kind of had low expectations because I have yet to find a Russian or Russian-adjacent restaurant that I really like in this area but Mari Vanna was decent. We started w the khatchapuri which was kind of a bummer. The dough was absolute perfection but it was made w feta cheese which was just the wrong move. It was way too salty... and the consistency (and taste) reminded me of cottage cheese which was just really unappealing. The potato vareniki were great, as were the zucchini pancakes. My lamb chops were fantastic-- soft, tender, and moist. My friend had the lamb shank and said it was pretty good as well. The deserts were a bit disappointing - both the napoleon and kartoshka were kind of dry in my opinion, but my friends loved them. Service was relaxed and we didn't feel rushed. Atmosphere was fantastic -- the decor is charming and adorable and the volume was surprisingly low despite the restaurant being packed. My only wish is that they had a few more typical Russian salads on the menu- the eggplant and carrot type come to mind.
An absolutely lovely space that conveys the culture
An absolutely lovely space that conveys the culture inherent in the delicious menu. Perfect for a romantic date, and the charming staff deliver a great overall experience. The stroganoff is exceptional and the Napoleon for dessert is a must. This place is an absolute gem!
Mixed
Very pretty and charming place with barely competent service. Go for the various vodkas and for the desserts. Avoid the appetizers and entrees which went from OK to oily.
Very authentic eastern European Restaurant
A very nice restaurant with a unique atmosphere. I felt like I was back in USSR. Everything looked like I went back in time. The food was delicious, fresh and very tasty. The service was fast and with a smile. Highly recommended. My kids liked it as well. We were a group of 9, we ordered ahead and the restaurant was full so I recommend to order a table in advance especially for a large group.
Gem in DuPont circle!
My friends and I come here on a regular basis! Food is always amazing and service is spot on. Olexey makes our visit extra special!
Wonderful Russian restaurant
I've been dying to try Russian food for some time. When I saw I was going to be traveling to DC for a work conference, I knew this would be my opportunity. I went on a Friday evening. I made the mistake of not having a reservation, but they were still able to accommodate me. I had the borscht and the beef stroganoff. The waitress recommended a Ukrainian beer to go with it. It was all wonderful!!
We were let down
Although the ambiance and setting are delightful, this restaurant comes up short in the service and food department. We had to flag down our waiter for water and drinks and our waiter was rushing us to decide and not very helpful in answering questions about the items on the menu. Our son had the best meal with beef skewers. My meal of stuffed cabbage had too much of one spice and was overpowered with tomato sauce. Maybe it was a coincidence, but I didn’t feel well the next day. I felt as if all of our questions were a burden to our waiter and we were a nuisance family. It was very expensive and not a pleasant experience.
Comfort Food
Really enjoyed our meal. Atmosphere was warm and kitschy without being cheesy. We really enjoyed our meals and drinks. Bonus points for everything being served at the right temperature.
It was great
There was just two of us dining at the restaurant, and it was great. We had red caviar and Blinis. With trimmings of sour cream , salmon and veggies The entrees were good, then came the yummiest dessert. The Napoleon was huge it took 2 diners to finish it

Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.

Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid? |
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted. |
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from? |
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered? |
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
Newbie sellers— how fast do your reservations sell?
I have some reservations coming up tomorrow that have gotten lots of views but haven’t sold yet. I haven’t made a sale yet since I just joined this week. I keep lowering the price, but am worried they won’t sell. How long did it take you to sell your first reservations? And did you have success being reimbursed by AT for no-show or cancellation fees? Just looking for a little reassurance. Thanks!

This app is a catfish and overrun by people programming “bots” and algorithms. It makes it frustrating for someone not well versed in this to have any movement. I thought this would be a fun side hustle, but unfortunately it’s become like any other “side hustle”. Don’t waste your time with this crap. Not a question, just a suggestion. Also don’t pay these fake “gurus” hundreds of dollars to teach you. Might as well sign up for a software class. 😕
