    Our dinner at the Russian Tea Restaurant was a mix of highs and lows. The food was undeniably delicious, showcasing rich flavors and excellent preparation. However, the kaviar tasting felt significantly overpriced for what was offered. Service was another weak spot—our server took an unusually long time to take our orders and came across as unfriendly at first, which put a damper on the experience. Despite these issues, the quality of the food redeemed the evening to some extent.

    We had a wonderful experience! The steak was one the best we ever had, if not the best. We started with the Fried Calamari Appetizer, which was very fresh and succulent. We tried the Prime New York Strip and the Bone-in Ribeye. The outer layer was so crispy, and inside, it was tender and juicy, and the fatty parts in the Ribye almost melted inside our mouths. The food is expensive but really good. The service was excellent, and everyone was very nice to us.
