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.

    While I was the one who was not in attendance, my wife, her daughter, and her daughter had a blast! It was the first time for all three and they loved the location, ambiance, selections, service, and the care that was infectious in every aspect of the afternoon tea. All three are in the City for a girls weekend that has been spectacular so far. CA is our home, but this weekend in NY has struck a very positive note. The Russian Tea Room is a must for anyone coming to the City for the first time. Yes, a tad expensive, but the quality of the food is excellent, the service impeccable, and the interior surroundings iconic. I have already sent an individual note to the manager to indicate our collective appreciation for a perfect Sunday afternoon tea time experience that will always be fondly remembered. john

    The overall experience was very good. Only disappointment was we went expecting different pricing since the tea room was participating in the New York restaurant weeks. We went through open table who is one of the participating group in this event which again made no difference. We were told Saturday we went, they did not have special pricing. Food was to my liking and I will recommend trying their Borscht and Boeuf Wellington!!

    We did the Restaurant Week menu, and all dishes were interesting and good. Service was good, with no attempt to rush us out. Loved the ambiance, and overall a great dinner out.

    A beautiful place with a rich history in the world of ballet. But, the service was not good. I did not appreciate when the server served our entree and immediately put our desserts on our table. At first i didn't want to make a fuss but then I thought "wait " Bake Alaska has ice cream, so that was the reason I use to have the server take back the desserts and serve them after our entree. He did do it but disagreed with me saying it was not ice cream.

    I had the Restaurant Week menu, it was good. I was surprised I had to ask to see it, that I was not automatically provided with it. When I inquired, I was then provided with the special Caviar menu, so that seemed a little odd to me. The Scallops appetizer was very nice, very top Chef. The Beef Stroganoff was good, maybe not quite as interesting as the Scallops.
