For the past eighty 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 1927, 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. The RTR Funding Group, Inc., reopened The Russian Tea Room’s doors, retaining the best of its history, authenticity, and architecture while offering culinary masterworks and a menu of forty vodkas that includes varieties new to the United States.

I had the pleasure of dining at the Russian Tea Room on Friday. I used to dine there a lot many years ago and was excited about my dining experience. The service is exceptional. They make you feel like A CZAR or in my case a Queen.
Food: 9-10
Service: 10-10
Price: Expensive but worth it.
I had the smoked salmon (19) appetizer which was truly incredible! The Lobster salad(28)which was giant pieces of lobster served out of it's shell over greens with avocado.
The Russian Tea Room is a romantic spot and a great place to take a loved one that you want to impress. The place is magnificent and I felt like I was royalty if only for two hours. The best part about this restaurant is the elegance and grandeur.
This is a place to pop the question or celebrate a special occassion. It is fit for a Queen and King.
