About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Charming
Fancy

For ninety-nine 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.

Storied old place, 99 years old, gold leaf on their massive ceiling, fabulous interior. An institution. Unfortunately that matches the food - institutional. It's worth visiting this legendary spot. Once

Food was not very good, nor authentic. Priozok seemed to use store bought puff pastry dough w little meat. Borsch was better. Large kiev cutlet was okay, but mashed potatoes too much odd seasoning, vegetables plain and mushrooms just ok. Glass of white wine good. Service okay to poor. Waited 15 minutes for check. No one looked toward me. Bread served late and my dishes were taken to other tables, rather than directly to me. For price paid, unacceptable. Unfortunately, this restaurant is for tourists who have heard of it's previous fame.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had. I knocked it a little on value but I don’t got to places like this for value I got for the experience. And our experience was fantastic!

Went for a 40th birthday before a show. Had a really nice time. Food was great. The staff was friendly and knowledgeable in the history of the RTR. Very nice experience.
