Best Restaurants for People Watching in Theater District

Delicious dinner at the Russian Tea Room! My husband had the sea bass and I had the scallops. The atmosphere is as romantic as it ever was. The prices are a bit high, but the food was wonderful and this is a special place. It’s a New York icon for a reason. On a side note, any negative reviews I’ve read were for tea. Despite the name, I don’t think this is really a tea place. Go for dinner, and you won’t be disappointed. All the dinner reviews were glowing.

They provide a special menu for Valentine’s Day which is delicious and fairly priced. We love dining here anyway as the extensive regular menu is also inviting. We love the lobster, oysters Rockefeller and several pasta dishes we’ve had. The staff is wonderful. Alex and Jay are absolutely great. Looking forward to seeing you again.

Came here for the first time with my girlfriend on Valentine’s Day. We were welcomed and seated quickly. Our waitress was very attentive even though it was a busy evening. The food came out fast and was absolutely delicious (we ordered the salmon, steak frites, mac and cheese and mash potatoes). Only small complaint was that the mash potatoes was cold but the waitress addressed this issue easily and got us another one. The drinks were delicious and the atmosphere was very romantic. Our waitress even helped us take some pictures together. Overall wonderful experience and we will be going back for sure. 10/10 would recommend.

Italian fare with a creative and delicious twist... food is always great! Service friendly and efficient... server very good at timing plates and very responsive. Highly recommend!

Superb evening. Staff fantastic, food and drinks too drawer. Best part of our trip was the evening here. Thanks so much to all the staff there.
