Tonight A Taste of Russia

We had dinner at a new restaurant that just opened in December in Cool Springs called "A Taste of Russia".  We tried all the traditional dishes...borsch, pelmini (looked like tortellini, tasted like a wonton), potato piroshki (I thought it would be similar to a potato pierogi but it was more like a Michigan pasty with the baked crust), cheese blintzes and chicken Kiev.  We even ventured out and tried Kvas, which is a yeasty, non-carbonated drink served at room temperature that tastes like a combination of dark beer and tea but is actually made from fermented bread.  It kind of grew on me by the time I got to the bottom of the glass.  We enjoyed it and will be back again to try new items.  I had read on some other blog that all the food in Russia is always served with a sprinkling of dill and this restaurant was no different.
