Fodor's Review:

Russian cuisine has lacked a following in San Francisco, but this bright gem in the Richmond District may well change that trend. Order the beautiful purple borscht, crowned with a dollop of sour cream. Small dishes of marinated mushrooms, blini and smoked salmon, and meat- or vegetable-filled piroshki are wonderful ways to start a meal. Follow up with hearty beef Stroganoff or delicate pelmeni, meat-filled dumplings in broth. Service can be uneven; on weekends, a talented accordion player proves an interesting distraction while you wait for your plates.
