Just beyond a solitary wooden door in the lobby of an unassuming office building lies the elegant dining room of Russia House Restaurant. Here you can enjoy one of Herndon's most distinctive dining experiences.
A slight French influence, historically typical of Russian cuisine, is detectable in offerings such as the large portion of chateaubriand, thick-cut fillet, laden with a rich béarnaise sauce. The menu also offers a variety of caviar, served with toast or thin crepe-like bliny, and heavier entrees like creamy beef stroganoff and beef-stuffed cabbage leaves served with tomato sauce. The service is sharp but operates at a more relaxed pace, allowing guests time to enjoy the meal at leisure.
Russia House also offers an extensive vodka list – long enough to warrant its own menu – including many fine top-shelf brands and their own house-infused flavored varieties. The lengthy list of cocktails includes house martinis sweet enough to be dessert and some hot coffee-based cocktails certain to warm your spirits.
