About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Fancy
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.

    It was my first time dining here and the food was amazing, I suggest the Baked Alaska for dessert. The service is the best, It was worth every penny.

    Old school elegance and charm, our lunch there was everything we could have wanted from this Grande Dame of a restaurant. Style, ambience, impeccable friendly service and delicious food…. Nothing disappointed.

    This is not the Russian Tea Room I have loved for 60+’years 5 My favorite borscht was watery and had no chucks of beef ~ The chicken Kiev was impossible to cut and what happened to the waiter cutting thru so the butter streamed out?

    Iconic NYC establishment. Beautiful atmosphere. But for the price tag, the food fell flat. No way should this be $150 pp for afternoon tea. At that price I expect the food to be as amazing as the restaurant itself and unfortunately it did not.

    It was an experience. Felt like in a movie. Neat decor, staff was very friendly. Service was very good until waitress was able to go home early. Then took time for desserts and check as others took over. Food was amazing.

    Atmosphere is elegant and iconic. Food was good, but a little overpriced. Service was outstanding. Truly a classic NYC experience. Would recommend. Perfect spot for a pre-show dinner and drinks.
