- LLarkinNew York City •1 review5.0Dined 7 days agoI couldn’t have been happier with my visit to the Russian tea room. The beautiful decor, helpful staff and amazing food exceeded my expectations. Beautiful ambience to greet you from the otherwise doll New York City streets. The wine selection was also great. I will absolutely go here again.More infoRussian Vodka RoomPrice: Moderate• Russian• Midtown West•4.6
- MMeredithVIPAtlanta •26 reviews4.0Dined on Jun 24, 2025Great food. Nice people. Not the fastest service but enjoyable. Went at 5 pm for a 7 pm show and was perfect. 10 minute walk to the St.James Theatre. 3 of us shared the hummus (had a bit of a kick but great), soup dumplings and original cheese boat. Would recommend all. Enjoy!More infoCheeseboat - Hell's KitchenPrice: Expensive• Georgian• Hell's Kitchen•4.7
- MmarilynVIPNew York City •58 reviews4.0Dined on May 23, 2025A unique dinner experience. Place was decorated in a fancy Eastern European style and the waiter was Eastern European. You could tell that a lot of effort was put into making the place feel upscale Eastern European. Food was good but would have been much better if it was hot. Staff was very attentive. We were served a small aperitif before dinner and a wrapped chocolate upon leaving - nice touches. I would definitely come back to try some of the lunch dishes.More infoMishka SohoPrice: Moderate• Eastern European• SoHo•4.7
