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 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.

    This was my first time dining here and everything was excellent. We had two different types of beef, stroganoff royal tea and regular afternoon tea and it was phenomenal. Can’t wait to return again one day!

    The food was bland. The price was way too much for what the food was. I get that we were paying for the room which was beautiful. Would not return.
