BABA YAGA
We walked into a beautiful garden where tables dressed in white table cloths and an uber talented jazz singer awaited us. There are indoor tables as well, but with such great warm summer breeze, beautiful trees and jazz ,we opted, obviously, to sit outside.
Very cozy atmosphere, even with all the Baba Yaga's (witches) all around us (not real ones but dolls, on the other hand' there might have been some real ones as well, who knows ? ;)). We couldn't wait to start our unique culinary journey in this noteworthy eatery.
We started with the Traditional Mixed Pickles- white cabbage, cucumbers and tomatoes, Homemade Rye Bread- served with garlic and dill butter, Gravlax- Cured Salmon, a classic Scandinavian dish served with potato pancakes and Garlic and Dill cream cheese, which was sensational, Varenikis- russian dumplings stuffed with fried onions and mashed potatoes served with sour cream and butter, absolutely scrumptious, Borscht Soup- traditional Ukrainian red beetroot soup with diced beef, onions, carrots, white cabbage, potatoes and tomatoes, served with homemade rye bread , garlic and dill butter and sour cream. The soup was so succulent it should totally be illegal!! Oh ! and the Uha- clear fish soup with chunks of fish, onions, carrots and parsley, light and dainty.
For our delicious entrees- Mediterranean Sea Bass Fillet- lightly creamed in Bechamel Sauce, served in custom made terracotta dish with ratatouille and red caviar.
Beef Fillet Medallions- served with three sauces and mashed potatoes, utterly melts in your mouth
and the Filet Mignon- cooked to order, served with wild berry sauce and mashed potatoes, super velvety!
For our very sweet tooth we had the Russian cherry Verenikis- superb! It gave us a pleasant floating sensation.
Baba Yaga is an outstanding Eastern European restaurant with masterful authentic dishes. A must go for everyone! From family celebrations, business meeting or dates, Baba Yaga is the place to go.
Hey, and for all you single Baba Yagas maybe you can sink your nails into a dining Oligarch.
Worth a try ;))
