| - The ambiance of Red Square is fantastic. It's a quirky, cool place to go grab a martini, and I highly recommend it for that.
As far as dinner, I ordered the Australian hazelnut crusted rack of lamb with cherry sauce. I asked for the meat medium rare, which, in my opinion, is a great way to eat lamb. It came and was much closer to rare, and in fact kind of grossed me out because it was so raw in the center. Which is saying a lot, since I'm totally comfortable with rare meat, generally speaking. It was just such a drastic difference from inside to outside, and not very appetizing.
I would recommend the siberian nachos, however, which were essentially tuna tartar on wonton chips. These were great!
My friend ordered the special, a filet mignon, which he said was very good. Maybe my meat situation was just a fluke.
The best part of dinner by far was the vodka menu. It's awesome, and a lot of fun to look through together. I ordered the Tall Blonde Vodka, up with a twist. I was not disappointed, that was one awesome martini.
This is a unique place to come for drinks and apps, but I'm not sure dinner is worth the price. Overall a good experience, though. And a good place to impress, since they've got caviar on the menu for $200+. If you're into that kind of thing.
