    Everything was delicious I had a 3 course meal of lobster bisque, ribeye steak, and a “chocolate soufflé” I would’ve given a 5 star all around bc the place is beautiful the staff is amazing but my steak was so fatty! I had to pull pieces of fat out of my mouth when chewing no one wants that and for the price you would think they could cut the fat off. The lobster bisque was perfect no complaints but the “soufflé” is just a lave cake with melted ice cream in a cup idk I wasn’t to impressed but all in all I would come again atmosphere is great staff is great first time in New York checked OIBLOIBS off the list

    Very fresh, delicious food. Recommend the scallops appetizer, set on a bed of mashed potatoes - melts in your mouth. Meatballs, any appetizer with eggplant. pear, radicchio and walnut salad makes you forget it's winter. The lamb chops are extraordinary and of a quality only a restaurant can get. Black cod Livorno - luscious!! Palma's pastry chef is exceptional - you can taste the actual ingredients without being overwhelmed by the sugar. Attentive, but not intrusive, staff. Charming, romantic setting, with fresh flowers everywhere!!

    We had a limited amount of time to dine before a show tonight, so the speed, service, and options at Caviar Russe were perfect. We had drinks with the crispy rice and also the lobster hand roll, which were both amazing! Highly recommend and planning for a return visit.
