Pretty good value for the money. We had our reception at Zhivago on a Friday night. This is a good place to bring your Russian and American friends and relatives. The menu is just Russian enough to keep Russians happy and Americans intrigued. If you are going to have a family style meal, be sure to let your guests know not to start leaving at 10 - food is served continually throughout the evening, beginning at 8 and ending past midnight. You can specify when you want things served though...
We paid around $7,000 for food (a lot of food), open bar for several hours, and dessert (price for the wedding cake was extra, the restaurant referred us to Lana's Dazzling Desserts - see separate review for that).
