Nice elegant place, good food, great stuff, but unfortunately not really Russian. It is more like Russian image , kitsch. Probably that was my wrong expectations & nostalgia about my homeland. We came there for lunch - the menu was too American did not remind me about Russia at all. Also they do not have Russian non-alcoholic cold beverages which traditionally should serve with lunch. Instead the offered the tea. Russian people usually do not drink tea at 2pm only cold drinks. The music is really Russian and very good but sounds only in a restroom!
