This evening C and I met our good friends at a new restaurant in Franklin, TN - "Taste of Russia". Of course SOUTHERN is all of our favorite food, but we're adventurous enough to try something different now and then.
We began the meal with an appetizer of crepes stuffed with Red Caviar and cream cheese. We also shared a delicious ceasar salad. C. must have felt out of his element, got nervous after eating the caviar and tipped over his water glass.
The entrees arrived. The husbands both ordered Kiev Chicken. One dish had fried potatoes with garlic, the other had grilled vegatables.
I love Beef Stroganof, so that was my choice along with grilled vegatables. They didn't serve noodles on the plate as I am used to. I guess noodles are a southern addition and I sure did not need the extra calories. M. received a Pork Chop with mustard sauce and rice that she liked.
For desert each couple shared a Blitze. Ours had appricot perserves and theirs had bluberry.
The atmosphere was simple yet pleasant enough. The room was dimly lit with wood tables and straight back chairs with red upholstered seats. There were small lights with red globes hanging on thin cords over each table. Our server was from Belarus which is a county east of Poland. She told us she had lived in the United States for three years. She spoke English with an accent and was very efficient.
We all agreed we would return again.
