The food is good and the price is excellent(We ordered from the lunch pre fixe menu. For $39.99, we got more than we expected. Of course, we had ordered the garlic bread separately but it’s o must whenever we go there. Strongly recommended. And the service was excellent, very professional. In the summer time, you can sit outside and enjoy the city. Internal design is elegant, everything is spotless. Our family really loves the Redeye. Whenever I have friends visiting NY4, this is my first choice to treat them for meals.

We decided to go to here for Christmas dinner. As an Italian I am super picky about Italian food. I went off of the reviews and I am happy to say this place exceeded my expectations!!!!! The Calamari was amazing, drinks were great and the service was just as amazing as the food. I would highly suggest going here.

What an amazing experience for our first Christmas lunch away from home in Australia. The staff were so friendly and accomodating even on Christmas Day! I never write reviews, but this place - the food, the service, the staff, the setting, even down to the lovely bathrooms. We had a wonderful time. Thank you Quality Bistro - we will certainly never forget this Christmas.

Our dinner at the Russian Tea Restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. The food was undeniably delicious, showcasing rich flavors and excellent preparation. However, the kaviar tasting felt significantly overpriced for what was offered. Service was another weak spot—our server took an unusually long time to take our orders and came across as unfriendly at first, which put a damper on the experience. Despite these issues, the quality of the food redeemed the evening to some extent.
