Paid a visit to Stoli over the weekend due to the good editorial review. Was thoroughly impressed by the atmosphere. I've eaten at many restaurants in the Brookline area and I must confess this one is by far my favorite. I'm no Russian-food connosoir, yet, I was impressed. Stoli has my vote.
Pros: Food
Cons: Gets busy

We went to Stoli seeking a night out to try authentic Russian food and drink. After looking at the menu, we decided to order lots of hot appetizers and have "Russian Tapas" in order to try a greater variety of dishes. All were delicious and tasty. Samsas (seemed to be a Russian type enpanada), pelmeni (Russian ravioli-type dumplings) and the savory borsch were the highlights. All dishes were made with fresh herbs. For dessert we tried the fruit blintzes -- my first time eating a blintz, but certainly not the last. They were fresh, fruity, warm and delicious. For beverages, we tried the Russian beer (Baltika) and the fruity Georgian red wine. Both recommended and truly authentic. I look forward to delving into the infused vodkas on our next visit. Service was attentive and friendly. We went on a Friday night at 8PM and tables were available. The decor is simple but nice, in a bistro style. However, it was too brightly lit. I'm convinced that if this place had better mood lighting with candles it would be packed and would make a great date place. However, since it's so bright, it's a better spot to meet up with friends for a casual dinner. Overall, our experience was favorable and we will return.
Pros: Good food, excellent beverage selection, friendly service
Cons: Bad lighting
