Review content:
Went last night to celebrate a friend?s birthday. The food was not bad. A couple of funny things though. First ? $25 martinis ? enough said! For appetizer, we ordered the blini (Russian crepes) with fish or meat or whatever. Doesn?t really matter, and I?ll explain why later. This is an appetizer and there was very little food on the plate. That?s fine, I expected that. The funny part is, the waiter filled the first three blinis for us. Anyway ?. for the three blinis that the waiter made for us he used up about 90% of the meat on the plate. Looking into the blini bowl ? there were still three more blinis for us to fill on our own ? but practically nothing to fill them with. Now I don?t mind if you give me three blinis and three blinis worth of meat to fill them with ? that?s fine ?. But don?t give me six blinis with only three blinis worth of filling! By the way ? the reason that I said that the filling did not matter is because the filling in the initial three blinis was so sparse that you couldn?t taste it anyway. Next funny thing. The borsht on the menu costs $32. Now, for someone like myself ?. growing up with a Russian grandmother and eating borsht on a regular basis, you must understand that borsht is essentially a poor man?s soup. It is made of water, beets, salt and pepper and sometimes a few chunks of meat ? that?s it. Here the borscht apparently contained some foie gras or duck confit ? or something that does not belong in the soup. Now I do not recall exactly what the ingredients were, but I do know that they did not belong in borsht. For those of you who are not intimately familiar with Russian cuisine ? I?ll give you an example that we can all appreciate ? $32 wanton soup that is made with kobe beef ? enough said! The bottom line is that the food is good ? but aside from the Russian waiters and the Russian sounding menu ?. There is absolutely nothing authentic about the Firebird. If you want Russian food ? go to Brooklyn!
