The à la carte dinner will feature appetizers, soup, salads, sides, entrees, and desserts, including:

• Piroshkis, golden brown biscuit-like pastry filled with meat and cheese or potatoes and cheese.
• Borsch, a hearty beat soup garnished with meat, cabbage, and a dollop of sour cream.
• Carrot salad, shaved carrots dressed in a sweet, spicy sauce.
• Golubtsi, cabbage rolls filled with carrots, onions, and mushrooms served in natural juices and sautéed pearl onions.
• Ptichye moloko, sponge cake filled with soufflé, topped with chocolate ganache, and served with raspberry sauce.

Reservations, which are required, are taken for times between 5 and 6:30 p.m. To make reservations, call the Special Cuisines line at 260-480-2002.
