  • We chose on a whim to reunite with an old favorite of ours. Russian. We wanted Russian grub. With warm tastebuded memories of an old dear restaurant we used to dine 12 years ago on the Westside, Mayakovsky capitalized on this wanton desire. Located at the southern corner of what used to be the Liberace Museum. The location is kind of a counter culture shock for some. It is a unique place to get your taste of commie cuisine. I try. In any case the place is pretty cool inside. Dark and somewhat cold, the atmosphere really takes me to places I thought it would feel like in the urban sickle & hammer streets. Our host was a very welcoming sweet gal. Our server for the evening was a friendly gentleman who was engaging and had a pinch of Putin to him. I have to say if this is your first time trying Russian food he would be perfect to guide you through it. They are willing to divulge any information regarding the menu with out interrogation. We are no rookies though. The entrees consist of a well prepared protein surrounded by potatoes mashed, pan fried or fries and a vegetable. As we were used to they would have been steamed or raw vegetables, yet at Mayakovsky it is a cole-slaw-esque salad instead. We were informed real Russians eat their potatoes mashed! So, when in Moscow.. We started with the red caviar. A traditional plate of plain crepes with butter and salmon roe. Think of it as a salty Russian jam of sorts. Definitely not in Kansas anymore Toto. As always I would suggest ordering one shot of the premium vodka that I couldn't pronounce properly and take it just before you dive into the appetizer. Soft and sea flavoured I know this is not for everyone, but there's a reason you didn't choose to go Dennys right? Her entree was the Chicken Kiev. A rolled and breaded tube of poultry goodness. I suggest slicing it in inches and slanting it for a nice presentation. It's like a non pansy le cordon bleu. She wanted the pan fried potatoes but she was served fries. She did like the fries though. I suppose it's what our soviet cousins think us 'Mericans would've chosen, lol. I had the encrusted trout. Which was almost a whole trout minus the head. This was my very first trout! Being of Micronesian decent I usually order more exotic saltwater variety. I loved it. Crispy skinned and tender fillets. I ate the whole fish with my manly mashed potatoes. For dessert we asked for the Napoleon cake. Which came out exactly 1.5 minutes after asking for it. Powdered sugar and 2 forks to share. If I may suggest, do ask for a knife. Its a like a puff pastry and a cheesecake sharing equal provided plate space. So good! At the end I dropped the missile on our waiter about the Yelp $20 for $10 deal that I had purchased as soon as I checked in and was seated. A great 3 course meal for under 50 bucks before leaving a 20% tip (I'm a 20% tipper) I was more than satisfied. A good meal with great authentic ruskie service. I had as much fun dining at Mayakovsky as I did writing this review.
