For ninety-eight 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.

    Overall place was nice and average price for being in nyc , at first our server was great friendly informative until we questioned the “clotted cream” then it went downhill , it was not clotted cream it was whipped cream then the second attempt was whipped cream no sugar , it wasn’t the end of the world that it was not actual clotted cream it was the servers indignant attitude that changed the experience and for that reason I probably wouldn’t go back .

    The ambiance is the reason to go, and the staff is very friendly. But the food is utterly subpar - the best thing about it is that the portions are small.

    First time dining here and was quite excited as I am a native russian. To my surprise, the Food is quite poor. This place is obviously just going through the motions and no longer cares about food quality or authenticity. Hiring a russian chef may help you, having the proper amount of mayonnaise in the most famous russian salad would be a good idea. (Barely had any). Tiny portions and high prices I can live with, but the food just tastes bad and I would simply never return. $400 spent for 2 and left highly disappointed.

    The way south was amazing and on it. Our meal was definitely overpriced. I’ve been in the past many times and enjoy our meal but always feel like it is overpriced.

    The pre-theater menu was a good idea. The prices were much lower than the standard menu. The quality of the food was very good. The service was slow, but overall, we enjoyed the experience very much. Before you go, check the regular menu before you make a reservation because the prices are incredibly high. An example is $28 for a bowl of French Onion Soup
