I can't vouch for the Russian-authenticity of the dishes, but they've all be quite good: interesting selection, too. There's more emphasis on being a bar than a restaurant, but the entres are in the $6-$10 range or so, and a heck of a lot better than the usual bar food. They have about 6 different flavors of vodka they do themselves: some deal with Finlandia, a well-known Russian vodka :-) Definitely try the Hot Red Hot and the Ginger; spicy! The Canteloup is surprising good, but avoid the garlic/herb one: like drinking alcoholic marinade. They have many bottled vodkas to chose from, too. I've paid more for *sales*tax* at $erbian Crown than I have for a dinner/drinks at SotU. :-( -- -- <A HREF="http://wasabi.nsi.nasa.gov/~cshenton"> Chris Shenton </A>
