| - I love Russian food, so we went out of our way to try this restaurant. The service was good, and the decor was modern, which impressed my husband - who's now been to many Russian restaurants in the US. Once the private party in the back room got going, the music was Russian too.
I wasn't super thrilled with the menu, because there were so many American dishes on there; there's no shortage of other places to get American cuisine. The food was pretty good: the borsch was authentic-tasting, and the beef stroganoff (on mashed potatoes, not noodles) was good, though the olevye (Russian potato salad) didn't taste right to me. (To be clear, all the food was fresh, so I'm not questioning that.) There was a prix fixe option that's more like a standard Russian restaurant meal: a dozen or so appetizers and then a few entrees; you needed to be a table of 3+ to take advantage of it.
So, if you haven't had much Russian food before, this is a good way to ease yourself in. If you're Russian, just set your expectations appropriately for the menu.
