Stopped in for a bowl of the borsch and the olivie. The olivie was very good. It was funny that the gal working the front didn't know the russian names for things. Olivie is similar to potato salad. Anyway, everything was perfect. The potatoes, eggs, peas, mayo all great. The only thing I would add was a sprinkle of cilantro or parsley or a sprig added just before service. The photos on the website have these and the bright green really sets the dish off.
The borsh was ok. The flavor was good. My bowl didn't have any meat and the potatoes were too soft. I know it's tough for a place to have soup cooking all day, but maybe they could separate the meat and vegetables from the broth after the primary cooking then add them back and quickly reheat just before serving. Again, I thought a sprinkle of fresh parsley or cilantro on top right before servvice would have improved the presentation.
The location itself was really small with kind of generic furnishings. It reminded me of similar places I'd been in St. Petersburg.
