Moscow Nights, Russian Restaurant
Murray Avenue, near Forbes, Squirrel Hill.
Four of us went on a Thursday night. At 6:30pm, the restaurant was about ½ full. The atmosphere is umm... unusual. The restaurant's sign, and menu cover is a digital photo montage of erm... Russian stuff. It resembles nothing so much as a cigarette ad. Inside, the walls are covered with a floral print, which had led me to suspect, before the restaurant opened, that it would be a Laura Ashley store, or perhaps a Victoria's secret. In anycase, we liked the déor. Service was prompt, although our waiter seemed not entirely comfortable in English (which almost led to an ugly incident over Borscht). This is probably a good sign thing.
