Oh, it doesn't bother me. Pretty much the same expressions I got in Moscow grocery store - and honestly the same expression I saw most people get at the Moscow grocery store!
We've eaten at the restaurant on 65th and Foster a couple of times. It was good and interesting. Hardly anyone there - and they were only speaking Russian. The waiter spoke English - and it was fun to 'experience' Russia at home.
I also ordered take out pelmeni at Ararat on MLK. They actually have different menus on different days - so not Russian every day. I forget some of the others - Armenian...? Anyway - they were awesome. I called and told them I needed a potluck item for an international theme at my son's school - and that we were in the process of adopting a baby from Russia so I wanted something Russian. They weren't even open yet (I called earlier in the day) but they said to show up at the time I said I needed it and knock on the door and they would have something for me. The food was great and big potluck size. You can't beat that customer service!
