For ninety-eight years, New York's defining cultural moments have taken place at Russian Tea Room. Ever since members of the Russian Imperial Ballet founded the restaurant in 1926, it has been a second home for boldface names and the intellectual elite-an exclusive enclave where actors, writers, politicians, and businessmen planned their next deals and feted their friends' latest Carnegie Hall performances.

    Every detail is covered with exquisite care. This gem of old New York (and Pre-Soviet St. Petersburg) was created by artists fleeing communism and their artistic spirit is a live and well today. The greeting at the door, my server (Thank you D) and even a wonderful chat with the manager all made the experience a JOY. I even left with a coffee cup from the gift shop - a reminder of a special time and place I'll be returning to again and again. THIS is what a "modern" restaurant should emulate, while maintaining beautiful history. Thank you, Dr. Jack

    The restaurant is old world charm, the food was very good and the value was good. It seemed like our waiter had a couple of tables that required extra help, as our waiter was not very attentive to our table, in fact we wanted to order dessert but he took so long to come back to check. We opted out entirely

    One and done for us, food was good but very overpriced. Service was super slow - go so you can say you’ve experienced it.

    Horrible experience tonight. We got to our 6pm reservations at 5:50pm and waited 20 minutes to get a table. After sitting at our table, 20 minutes went by and no one came to our table. We had to ask for someone to take our drink order. Drinks were yummy, but then our server came 10 minutes after that and asked “if we wanted to order food and if we were ready.” At 7:05 we asked if our food was almost ready as we had an 8pm show we needed to get to. Server said yes it will be here in two minutes. Fast forward to 7:30 and our food hadn’t arrived. This was also the case at two other tables. We asked for a manager and he apologized and comped the drinks. We went to celebrate a 50th birthday and only had one round of drinks in a hour and a half. Will never be back there.
