Sveta

What a lovely meal! First of all the decor is absolutely stunning. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the door by the owner who was very warm and welcoming and seated us very quickly (we had a reservation). All of the cocktails were sooo fun and different and we enjoyed ours. I had the lychee one and my mom got the Pretty Woman. The skirt steak and fries was good and my mom enjoyed her avocado salad. Overall such a lovely experience for our first night in NY!

Absolutely loved this experience! You tuck away in here and forget you're in busy NYC. Food is incredible (yes...get those mini chicken kievs over potatoes) and service was stellar! Can't wait to return!!

My friend wanted to celebrate her birthday here and made a reservation for 8 people two months ago. We get there 15 minutes before our reservation time and were told it will be a ten minute wait. We stood outside for an hour and 15 minutes waiting to be seated which was completely ridiculous. People make reservations and such so the restaurant can be prepared. The owner did genuinely apologize and made the situation right. Which was appreciated. We received two bottles of champagne on the house along with a round of shots for the table. The drinks were delicious and creative! My favorite part of the night. Our server was nice and attentive. The food was okay. This is definitely a nice place to take pics! I would possibly come back for the drinks and appetizers.

Sveta was nothing short of wonderful. From the ambiance to the service and the food, everything was perfect from start to finish.
Great place for brunch. They offer a bottomless option for $60, which includes unlimited brunch drinks for 90 mins and a dish of your choice.

We visited on a late Wednesday afternoon for a business dinner. I'll try to keep this short. The space is gorgeous, you can tell the owner pays close attention to detail. Definitely Instagram picture worthy. The drinks were really good. They come in cute glasses (for example, a moon man, a genie lamp, a bird glass). I love stuff like this. The apps were not that great to be honest. The best one, was the short ribs. They were so tender but unfortunately have no flavor. No one at our table was pleased with the apps. I will say the main course was really good. I had the steak with chimichurri and fries. The steak was tender and seasoned well. My colleague had the shrimp and pasta dish and really liked it. My other colleague had potato dumplings, and enjoyed his dish. We all agreed we definitely would visit again for drinks and the ambience. Our server was fine. Not nasty but not overly friendly.
I will say this, the owner stopped by our table to introduce himself, which I thought was nice. You can tell he pays attention to his restaurant because he noticed we didn't finish most of the apps, specifically the sushi. He stopped by to our table again to inquire about why we didn't finish the sushi appetizer. We were honest and he apologized and asked for more detailed feedback so he could relay it to the cook. He also gave us a free drink each as a courtesy. I think this restaurant is worth visiting and I will definitely return for drinks and primarily off the customer service.

Amazing tasting food & and service. My wife & I were seated quickly. The different courses came out fast as well. Every item tasted fresh down to the brownie in the lava cake dessert. Every item was delicious!

Beautiful restaurant that is very cutely decorated. The location is a bit small for the demand, as brunch time the tables turn over almost immediately. We called in about a month in advance to reserve a table for 10 people. When we got there, we noticed that the other group that was supposed to be before us had just gotten their meal, this led us to wait about 1:15 hour longer to get seated.
Once we sat down, the service got better. They came ready to serve us our mimosas and took our orders quickly. I appreciate an interesting menu, and I wish I had an opportunity to try some of their appetizers.
I ordered the lobster Benedict which was pretty good. I wish I took more pictures, but the chicken and waffles was a healthy portion of chicken, the steak and eggs was a thin cut, and the avocado toast was larger than expected.
I wish we didn’t have such a long wait, but I appreciate what they did to try and rectify the situation.
