Had fabulous dinner there tonight with hubby!
Oh, to look at food through the taste buds of a Russian-cuisine "virgin" is so fun! My American hubby never had such outstanding and unique dishes, as the most i can create is sloyennie pirozhki and salat Olivie. We ordered tongue salad, omg to die for! Shreaded tongue mixed with tomatoes green onion and herbs, smothered in sour cream based dressing, is the best concoction you are missing out on if you pass this up! Hubby said This is so good, when you said "tongue" I thought it was really going to be made out of tongue :):):) Silly man..., never imagined tongue to be so deliciously prepared. Wehad it with bread and it was very filling, then our borsch arrived, melts in your mouth, hearty and fresh, dollop of sour cream and bread in hand, we could not stop scooping it into our mouths!
Our main course were loola kebob and liver kebob with buckwheat, and chicken Kiev with rice. Loola was good, like one wd expect, but omg, why am i not eating liver kebobs every day?? Soft and slightly chewy, good size cuts, for staying moist and tender, separated by salo, which i pulled off and mixed with buckwheat to make it absolutely amazing at every bite! Kiev was well folded and crispy on the outside, and hot, juicy, and tender on the inside. Came with a zesty carrot salad, very refreshing, and good texture contrast. We were so full at that point that we requested our leftovers to go, but resumed pigging out on this miracle of flavors as soon as we got home.
Our servers were a man and 2 ladies, and all 3 made sure to do their best, from explaining the menu, serving food timely and hot, and replenishing our beverages, to taking pictures of us on our date. Our bill, with 2 beverages was $57 for all the food i listed! With tip, 66, and i don't have to worry about hubby's lunch tomorrow! I really liked this place. If we get stationed nearby here, we will most definitely return soon!
