"It 's been a long day since the days of the multitude of Russian restaurants in the Richmond, when one could pick and choose. Now, it 's either the Red Tavern which is OK or a couple of other inconsequential Russian restaurants. If you are a tourist I guess that 's OK. I 'm used to real Russian food, and I don 't mean gobs of sour cream or mayo. Baltica is a very nice change to all that. I 'm glad they did away with this Russian filipinno menus. I mean...REALLY. They go to their own places anyway. I 'd recommend it to anyone wanting to try something truly different. And moderately priced."
