| - It was a Friday and like that one song "Everybody's working for the weekend" I was ready to find somewhere to wind down. I had looked for a Russian restaurant before and remember reading about Cafe Mayakovsky. I decided to finally go check it out and I was so glad I did.
There was plenty of parking as another Yelper mentioned this strip mall was where the Liberace Museum used to be. The restaurant is now next to an adult day care and other mixed businesses. As I walked in, there was a young lady signing live on stage! She had a really good voice and it was like a Russian pop song. How Fun! My waiter was a young gentleman who was very knowledgeable in the menu and was very professional. He told me they started to hsve live music on Friday, Saturday and Sunday as it is usually busier on the weekends. Though it seemed a little empty when I walked in, the place got busy and people were coming in for dinner and drinks really quick.
The waiter recommended the Chicken Kieve, so I went with that for my main entree. I also got a shot of Stolichnaya and a glass of champagne. I also got the pickled vegetable plate for my cold appetizer and the Vareniki stuffed with a potatoes filling for my hot appetizer. I really liked the pickled mushrooms and the pickled cabbage. It was almost like a slaw, but without the mayo. The brightness of the pickled vegtsbke cut through the savory Vareniki. I really liked both appetizers. For the entree, the Chicken Kiev came out piping hot and smelled delicious. It came with a side of mashed potatoes garnished with some fresh chopped parsley. The chicken had a good crunchy crust and the chicken was tasty. The potatoes were good too and I continued to enjoy my meal with the pickled veggies. The waiter continued to check on me and made sure I was enjoying my food. So nice! The singer when not signing would play other Russian -(I would say like Top 40 songs?) which would add to the atmosphere. For dessert, I opted for the Turkish coffee, which the waiter explained is like a stronger coffee and there is a boiling process so the grounds are at the bottom if the cup. Went with a slice of honey cake as well. Turkish coffee was strong, but not bitter. Honey Cake was good and went well with the coffee. All in all, I am so happy I came in and tried this place out. The service was excellent, the atmosphere was fun with the music, but not too loud so you can still enjoy your dinner and the food was good. I will definitely come back to try their other dishes and if you haven't had Rusian food before this a great spot to start. They are happy to answer any questions and are so nice. Highly recommend.
