| - Took us a while to get around to trying this place, but I am glad we finally did. I am not Russian, but I love almost anything that is Russian. I just completed an MA degree in International Relations--my coursework focused mostly on Russia and Ukraine--so what better way to celebrate this honor than to go to a Russian restaurant? I was not disappointed and I don't think you will be either if like Russian/Eastern European food.
The service was extraordinary, first of all. Yes, I read some of the comments about the decor, and I can see why some posted some comments on it. However, to me, it was very Russian and appropriate, so it wasn't that odd for me. You come to a restaurant to eat, don't you?
And, they will feed you. The portion sizes are generous. We had the following for appetizers: the summer platter (lots of fresh veggies, feta cheese and olives) and borscht (beet soup). The borscht was awesome!
My husband had the Hungarian goulash and I had the beef stroganoff. The stroganoff was nice, tender and creamy. Yum. My husband reported the goulash was good as well. We finished the meal with a shared made-in-the restaurant-daily Neapolitan dessert and Turkish coffee. For two iced teas, two appetizers, two entrees, a dessert and 2 Turkish coffees, we did not break more than $65. And, we were stuffed too!
We will be back!
