What recent reviews say
Torte by Linda's Russian-inspired cakes, especially their Medovik, draw consistent praise for authentic flavor and restraint in sweetness. The cozy, tastefully lit space and warm service make it popular for afternoon tea and celebrations, with specialty items like beef pelmeni dumplings and Megruli Khachapuri rounding out the offer.
Solo diners occasionally wait longer for tables, and prices run high relative to portion size. Seating is tight, and some dishes depend on timing. Still, reviewers enthuse about the overall experience and thoughtful presentation.

Most visits here are pleasant. Reviewers praise the calm decor, smiling staff, and dishes like spaghetti balado seafood and tiramisu. Yet service can vanish during lunch or group bookings: drinks take 30 minutes, mains over an hour. One report of food poisoning and several accounts of wrong orders suggest the kitchen struggles under pressure. Staff are genuinely kind when present, and the space suits quiet meetings or solo work well. But come during peak hours expecting delays, order mix-ups, or being ignored at the counter. Recent experiences (last 2 weeks) are stronger, hinting possible staffing improvements, though the pattern of overload remains unresolved.
