    Had a fantastic experience. Staff was courteous, hospitable and excellent. The ambiance was top notch, beautiful space with a wonderful aesthetic that balanced traditional with modern. Of course, the food was phenomenal. The sourdough bread is excellent, the borsch is some of the best I've had. The Salo is top notch. The cabbage rolls were the closest I've had in the city to my grandmothers holubtsi. The wild boar Varenyky (perogies) are fantastic - we had them fried. My Kyiv Chicken cutlet was delicious. I especially love that they included garlic and salt for the borsch. It's a little touch but one that makes a difference. No other Ukrainian restaurant I've visited has offered this. I could still taste it on the way home after the meal. Highly recommend. Don't hesitate if you haven't made up your mind. Just try it. It doesn't matter if you're new to the cuisine or grew up with it. Kozaks is well worth the experience.

    Server did not input Dan’s espresso order. Entree came as an appetizer, meal was timed inappropriately. Server asked if we were done before we finished eating. Perogies were delicious but arrived 45 minutes after the cabbage rolls?

    Get their platter, try it all. And save room for dessert! The sour cherry perogies are fantastic. Loved the traditional, non alcoholic beverage options as well

    First experience with Ukrainian cuisine and I was pleasantly surprised. We were here for dinner and shared the wild boar pierogies, kozak board and dessert and we were comfortably full, all thought it was an enjoyable meal. While the wild boar pierogies seemed a bit expensive for the number of pieces (5 or 6), it was indeed really really good. Great experience overall!
