Russian Night at Genesis

This past weekend I went to Genesis Steakhouse & Wine Bar for Russian Night, a theme culinary event they hold on a semi-regular (but not often enough IMHO) basis.  Well-crafted vodka cocktails are on offer; however, if you really want to keep the spirits flowing and your own spirits up, opt for bottle service ($100).

Salmon Roe, Toast, Egg, Red Onion, and Sour Cream

A special menu or classic Russian dishes was served including such highlights as salmon roe on toast with red onion, egg, and sour cream and pelmeni, sickle-shaped beef dumplings resting in a meat broth and dressed with dill.

Pelmeni

The aforementioned represent only a fraction of the decadent dishes on hand, so I highly recommend going in a large group to sample everything. Also, who wants to do shots of Stoli alone? :-)
