The main dining room has a dance floor, but tables are few and far between. Everything about this restaurant spells Russian, from the waiters with heavy accents to the entertainment. Perfect Borscht Belt music. The menu is also very Russian, with such standards as pelmeni, chicken Kiev and a host of kebabs. Get prepared for a long meal.
Salads arrive first.
The other salad is mixed greens, cucumber and bits of tart, green apple. The simple walnut vinaigrette works well with these ingredients. The soup changes daily. At a recent visit it was king soup, an apt name, as it is very rich in flavor. The reddish broth includes tomato, olives, zucchini, cheese, chicken and even bits of wieners, topped with a thin slice of lemon.
