I was disappointed in everything - the food, the service and the ambience. I ordered two appetizers - eggplant and russian salad. My friend had borsch and pelmeni. The waitress brought the borch and non of my appetizers. So I had to sit and wait while my friend was eating. I wanted to try an exotic russian drink and ordered The Tzar. It basically was vodka with a tiny spoon of red caviar inside the drink. It Supposed to come with olives too but they didn't put it in. It was a terrible drink - when caviar dissolved it looked like mucus in vodka. I sipped a couple of times and sent it back. The waitress said that I can order something else but she will charge me $12 fir this drink. The food came in 30 minutes - two appetizers. Eggplants were ok but the Russian salad looked and tasted like it was made a week ago. Discomposed vegetables with indigestible chicken. I had to look for that chicken very hard - because it was nearly no chicken. My friend got pelmeni - out of the box for $14. The ambience is nothing - random colors and few samovars on the walls. I couldn't wait to get out of there.
