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.

    We really enjoyed our meal. The ambiance was wonderful. Superb service and excellent food. I would go here again. The best part is that it was not crowded and not noisy like other NYC restaurants. This was for dinner on a Monday night.

    We were so excited to go to the iconic Russian Tea Room. Our waiter wasn’t interested in being welcoming or kind. He turned what could have been an awesome experience into a barely marginal experience. We wouldn’t go back.

    Our meal was wrong and the waitress could care less. It’s overrated and not worth the price.

    Disney version of a Russian restaurant. Tiny portions and overpriced and the service sucks. Unfortunate as it used to be great .
