For the past several years I have always ended a tour with a farewell gala at the St. Petersburg Restaurant. This past June was no exception and I am delighted to say that the place is even better than ever. Our group ate at thirty three different restaurants during this "White Nights" tour and the St, Petersburg was the favorite of the group. Our vegetarian attorney from Atlanta, GA raved about the vegetable tournedos, a layer each of zucchini, super-sweet onion, grilled eggplant, and tomato topped with a sharp but understated sauce that seemed to draw out the individual flavors of each item. The floor show was spirited, the cavier and blinni (crepes) were great and our meals were also superb. We spent a total of ninety dollars for five to each eat a four course meal with champagne, cavier and a floor show. My old friend Nataly Tabaeleg, the manager, was everywhere making sure things were correctly done. Our waiter, Sasha Nastushenko, could work at any five star establishment in New York or Paris and never miss a beat. All things being said I can say that I have paid far more and far less for a meal than that night at the St. Petersburg in Russia, but never have I ever had a better meal.
