Description: The restaurant is wonderfully decorated
with tall Tiffany-style lamps in the lobby.
Our tour guide got our group tables right
in front of the stage for a floor show
one evening for dinner. As we ate caviar
and drank vodka (Russian delicacies both),
Peter the Great led a 'Russia meets Las
Vegas'type floor show that was actually
raucously entertaining. Women in traditional
Russian dress danced while the most famous
of Tsars sang in Russian. After the Chicken
Kiev and desserts were eaten, the dance floor
was available to guests. After leaving the
St. Petersburg dinner, three of us left the
group with which we were touring and met one
of our young Russian guides in a bar next
door to the restaurant (See Night life
section of journal). This made for a very
memorable evening not soon forgotten!
