Later they will explain, you need to pay, because you ate it all already Except not, just the served one. After we asked about our bill and all the extra side dishes we were supposed to pay and refused to, they offered to bring us all the not eaten side dishes. Just to clarify, we were not told about the extra charge. They admitted their mistake. After some discussion, all we got was you need to pay Very, very poor management. No compensation nor apology. Only after demanding contact info for their boss, we were given a small 300 ruble compensation of our 13 900 ruble bill. The Russian way was to give absolutely no apology! Btw ask Tatjana, she is that boss according to the personnel.
