If your knowledge of Russian culture doesn't extend past communism and babushkas, then an evening here will do you some good. The decor is appropriately quaint, with imperial mementos and Byzantine patterns. As the vodka flows, the crowd warms up, making this place ideal for a large group of friends to get together, perhaps as a prelude to a night on the town. The dishes are creative and well-executed, although they can be a bit heavy, as is the case with most Russian food. Particularly recommended are the pirozhkis, blinis and of course, the Oscietra and Beluga caviars. There are six distinct menus at Nikita's -- four prix-fixe menus (which each offer a starter, an entree, dessert and coffee), a caviar menu, and an a la carte menu. Note: Nikita's is also open for lunch by prior arrangement.
