 Red Square Restaurant Review: Red Square’s décor exudes Slavic grandeur, with royal red tones, chandeliers from the Polish Embassy in Moscow, and a larger-than-life statue of a headless Lenin greeting you as you enter. The Light Group’s executive chef Brian Massie has created a menu featuring a mix of American and Eastern European flavors. Several dishes are designed for sharing, such as hibachi skewers --- well-spiced ground lamb, beef and chicken with yogurt sauce served atop a mini hibachi --- and the Buffalo chicken lettuce cups with Point Reyes blue cheese. A separate caviar menu lists an extensive selection of beluga, osetra and sevruga. Entrées include filet mignon and bone-in rib-eye tomahawk, along with beef stroganoff with red wine-braised short rib and chicken Kiev with bacon Brussels sprouts. Save room for the toffee bread pudding and salted caramel ice cream with rum-based caramel toffee sauce and Cap’n Crunch cereal. For a grand vodka experience, visit the Vodka Vault, which pours high-end vodkas. Although the vault is kept at below-freezing temperatures, full length coats and hats are provided.
