"I 've been to Skovorodka 3 times now. The quality of the ingredients (short ribs, red caviar, boiled tongue) reveal no cost shortcuts, yet the food is quite reasonable. The sophistication of the seasoning especially on the boiled short ribs and eggplant caviar is surprising. Pelmenyi were firm, flavorful, and juicy. The interior is comfortable and decently decorated especially given the gritty street it 's on. They have DJ or live music on weekends, and people dance informally in the rear, larger dining room. If you think you don 't like Russian food because you think everything has mayonnaise and is beige you 'll surely find healthy(ish) fresh dishes that will change your mind."
