Christopher Jones is an actor born in Jackson, Tennessee on August 18, 1941. He has appeared in 20 films and television shows. He was first cast in 'Three in the Attic' in the year 1968.
Shelly Rann is a singer/songwriter born and raised in Lexington, Kentucky. Following in the footsteps of many legendary performers from the Bluegrass state, she moved to Nashville to pursue her musical career....
By the late '90s, TV talk/variety shows had become increasingly stale (with MTV's non-music video programming about as fresh and exciting as a saltine cracker left out in the desert). And then there was Tom Green, who exploded on the scene with a show that was irreverent, confrontational, and hilarious -- a mixture of the heady days of the original Saturday Night Live, Andy Kaufman's talent for taking the joke too far, and a much more daredevilish take on Candid Camera....
The Bats were one of five Belfast groups included on the 1966 Ember Records LP compilation Ireland's Greatest Sounds: Five Top Groups From Belfast's Maritime Club. On that album they contributed the original tune "On the Waterfront," an acceptable number with that angry, moody, bluesy edge typical of Belfast bands of the time, from Them downward....
Ohio might not seem like a hotbed of music, but when you have an aunt who owns a record shop, you've certainly got a leg up. That's how Kim Richey got hooked on what would become her chosen path -- digging through bins of 45s and listening to everything she could, from Janis Joplin to the Lovin' Spoonful....

I just discovered Natasha's through one of my friends about 6 months ago and have been there several times since. I enjoy it immensely every time. It's a good place for people who are tired of the same old dishes and atmosphere from chain restaurants, because the menu is diverse and delicious; I've enjoyed everything I've tried. (I especially recommend the goulash.) You can't find food like this anywhere else in town. The staff has always been extremely friendly and accommodating, and after 9pm there is live entertainment.
I think perhaps my favorite thing about this place (besides the food) is the theater productions. It costs extra to see the plays, but it is well worth it. I was nearly moved to tears at one point because they did such a great job at wrapping me up in the story.
Bottom line: There is always something to good see and taste at Natasha's!
I've been going to Natasha's for over six years now and it's become a family favorite. We know there will always be great entertainment and unique food that we can't find anywhere else in Lexington.
My college friends and I meet up at Natasha's at least once a year to talk and have a great meal. They have always been very helpful for our large group.
I've been going to Natasha's since they were on Southland Drive, and it just keeps getting better. Their combination of delicious food, interesting ambiance, and creative programming distinguish it from other area enterprises. Lunch there today was absolutely delicious, everything very fresh. And the rum cake - absolutely to die for.
What a wonderful evening; seeing the Rakadu Gypsy Dancers at Natasha's was out of this world! The food was delicious, the service was good, and the entertainment was unlike anything else I've ever seen in town. We were transported to Morocco or something, and it was so cool to feel like a part of the event as the dancers moved through the tables. We'll definitely be back to this unusual nightspot, and we'll be bringing friends :) My only issue was that it was just a bit cramped, but I understand they are expanding the dining and performance spaces, so that'll be great!
The Natasha's Restaurant seems to be an establishment with a greater desire to have distracting music and eclectic decorations than quality food or service. It was not a pleasurable place to have a conversation or dinner with friends.

When Natasha's opened on Southland Drive in the early 1990s, I had the privilege of doing its first review. It was a Russian import shop with a small café on the side. Some of the food was good, but I thought a lot of it would be better appreciated in Russia than in Lexington. I didn't think that it had found its niche or that it would survive on Lexington's south end.
(Full review)Recently my wife and I had our foodie friends from Washington, D.C., visiting, and we decided to take them to Natasha's Bistro. When I called to make a reservation, the host asked whether we would be staying for the Gypsy dancers.
