77 East Adams St, Chicago, IL
You always hear of these Chicago Area institutions, and this is oftentimes mentioned as one. But having passed by it a million times without going in, I made up my mind to actually go and sample the food for once. For all that's made about its Russian-ness, the cuisine turn out to be not so... exotic, shall we say.
I ordered the $22.95 Afternoon Tea set and received one of those towers with lots of little finger foods. Prettier to look at than to eat, unfortunately, although I did enjoy the Salmon and Cream Cheese mini sandwich. Not terribly impressive, but still a cute, albeit overpriced, little snack before hitting the CSO.
As I was told previously, the Russians aren't exactly known for their food. My recommendation? Try the potato dumplings and skip out on the uninspired beef stroganoff.
