   We’ve been dining at the Russian Vodka Room for 20+ years every time we visit NYC. Always a highlight for our family.

   The atmosphere was warm bright and fun… Loved the music and was so fun people watching… You must try the pate with bread it was the best I ever had and also try the vodka martinis… Oh yes!

   We loved every minute of our time here! Came to celebrate our Russian family heritage for my sister's 50th Birthday on our Girl's Weekend. Not really knowing authentic Russian food, we ordered a bunch of different appetizers to try it all, and of course ordered the Vodka flights. The food was fantastic, the Vodka was perfectly infused, and the staff was great, and they changed the overhead music to "Happy Birthday", playing for the entire restaurant when my sister's dessert was brought out. At the end of our visit, we just had to purchase their T-Shirts "Shut Up Liver, You're Russian!" We had so much fun! We were recommended to this restaurant/ bar by a friend, and we would DEFINITELY recommend to others!

   I planned a dinner here with my wife prior to going to a play. The specialty drinks were interesting and we liked them. The food / caviar was also good. Authentic feel of a Russian restaurant - they did not rush us. They also had a nice blend of a bar/dinner crowd. All in all a very lovely evening for a Thursday date night.

   This is one of the best Russian restaurants we’ve been. It is simply decorated, but don’t let the decoration disguise you: this place is a true gem. Service is great, from the moment you walk in you realize why so many locals come here: good service without being pushy, wonderful food and good price. We had the local roquefort salad, borscht soup, mushroom soup, Russian dumplings (beef per our server’s recommendation), tongue in sweet and sour soup and sour cream cherry cake. Serving after serving our taste buds woke up to a delicate and full of flavor dish. We left satisfied and convinced that The Russian vodka room is a place we would want to come again and again! Flavored vodkas were also fantastic and for those who’ve recommended the Lindsey Lohan: you’re spot on, it was as delicious as they’ve described. When in town and looking for the best mix of service, quality food and good price, look no further: the Russian Vodka Room is your place to go!

    It's an oasis near Times Square, a step back in Time with a bit of a feel of Russian culture, food and ambience. It's always fun and enjoyable. The best drink is the Lindsey Lohan and the best food choices are the mushrooms juilenne , chicken kiev, and kasha with mushrooms

    We always enjoy going to the Russian Vodka Room when we are in the neighborhood. The martinis are excellent. We shared the salmon caviar appetizer and then shared the apple blunted. It’s a fun place!

    The three of us arrived earlier than our 4pm reservation, so were seated in the bar area until the kitchen opened. And we were able to enjoy their happy hour flavored martinis which are 9 instead of $14. There was a big group in the dining room so we decided to stay there. We shared several appetizers which were delicious except for. The kasha which was disappointing at the cost of $14. It’s a great venu for studio 54 show goers.

    Nice Russian restaurant with a very extensive Vodka menu. The main dining room was booked by a large party, so hard to say what the usual ambiance is. Me and my friends had a great time at a table by the bar though.

    I have loved the RVR for years. The food is great and I feel like I’ve gone back to the days of the KGB. It gets very crowded by the bar and male heavy but if you go early and find a table you can spend hours sipping delicious vodka and ordering delightful appetizers. The pate and pelmeni dumplings are amazing.

    Our waitress had trouble explaining what the food on the menu was. After ordering, we decided to change one of our items. Long story short, we didn’t get what we ordered and according to our waitress, it was too late to fix it. So one of us in the group basically didn’t eat because she didn’t like what was given to her. The other 2 BOTH found a hair in their food, so they didn’t eat either. I ordered an appetizer as an entree but received it as an appetizer, so I basically ate before everyone else and sat there watching the others try to eat. We were soooo disappointed by the food and service. We definitely will not be eating there again! One good thing is they have awesome vodka so if you want a good drink, you will like the vodka!

    Great value for pre theatre meal. Just a little annoyed they did not have the duck that was on the menu. I think I should have been informed plus had to ask what the specials of the day were. Otherwise my lamb shank was a yum and my friend had the shrimp kabob that she said was delicious. I asked not to rush our meal. Wanted to enjoy our vodka cocktails first. They went down smooth.

    Russia Vodka room is a unique dining experience, almost like going back in time to Moscow circa 1997. It's filled with charming/quirky servers, local IT goofballs posing at the bar and furtively scanning the place for attractive Russian women. I love the garlic-heavy chicken tabaka, the salad olivieh, and, my favorite, the "herring in furs". The place buzzes at night, especially when the live piano music starts, and everything feels a little more sexy. I come here when I want to escape my everyday life but don't have the time to take a train.

    Visited because of a friend's recommendation and was not disappointed. Had an early reservation after seeing a matinee a few blocks away. Arrived in time for happy hour allowing us to sample several infused vodkas at reduced price. A 2nd friend, a Russian gave us a few menu recommendations. The food did not disappoint. The fat back with spicy mustard and toast was satisfying as was the olivie. My husband must have been hungry as he asli ordered beef dumplings which were quite tasty. For the main course he chose lamb shank and I had the short ribs. Both were well prepared. I was quite pleased with buckwheat as the side with the short ribs. We were too full for dessert. Hubby was quite satisfied finishing his meal with a nice cognac. I recommend a visit and would come again.
