Reviews Summary

Ruski offers an unparalleled dining experience with its breathtaking 85th-floor views of Moscow, complemented by a chic and modern atmosphere. While the ambiance and views are consistently praised, some diners find the food, though inventive, doesn't always meet the high expectations set by the setting and price point. Service can be inconsistent, with occasional lapses in attentiveness or special occasion handling.

"Really good atmosphere. Great service and some excellent recommendations by the waiter. The cocktails are top-notch, just like the food. The view over Moscow was great - restaurant is on the 85th (top) floor."

Ian Caruana

"Visiting this modern Russian restaurant perched atop a tower was a memorable experience, primarily due to the breathtaking views of Moscow's iconic towers and the modern district. The atmosphere was cozy and beautiful, perfect for a romantic evening or a special celebration.

However, the food was a bit of a letdown. While the dishes were decent, they didn't quite live up to the expectations set by the stunning setting. The menu offered a good variety of traditional Russian dishes with a modern twist, but the execution fell short in terms of flavor and presentation.

Overall, I would recommend this restaurant for the views and the ambiance, but don't expect the food to be the highlight of the visit."

Abdulkarim ALZarouni

"Nice hight floor resturant where you can watch Moscow from up , good atmosphere but I expected something better, food was good but not that much it’s just a location and atmosphere."
