Kazan — summer 2012

I registered with flamp.ru, a website that specializes in restaurant/cafe reviews. I posted my review of Приют холостяка here. Kind of fun. Of course, you have to read Russian to get it.

It's kind of funny, really. I wouldn't usually bother posting a review on an American website, but here I kind of like it.

Just for fun I ran my Russian original through Google Translate (notorious for its errors). Here's what it came up with.

We wanted to have dinner early. They came at 17:00 on a hot summer day. Salad with marinated pear and pine nuts - that's exactly what we need in a sultry day. A friend ordered the caesar salad with chicken, delicious. We both ordered the filet mignon, the second option, marinated for two hours. Oh, my God, so soft and delicious. A friend was drinking mineral water, and I'm cabernet Sunrise. It is like a rose, but the taste is still cabernet.

The atmosphere is good. Music played softly, so we chatted with a friend without loud voices. For the other two tables, smoking hookahs, a terrible habit, but the movement of air did not bring any tobacco smell, so can not complain.

Service is normal. On the table, wireless button that calls the waitress. No significant delays were not. I'll be back.

Actually, for a machine translation, that's not too bad. Russian has no words for a/an/the, so each time you see those, the machine has supplied them.
