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.

    What a beautiful tea room! Vintage and over the top -- just what we expected from this icon. Service was good - very good especially by the secondary wait staff. Took afternoon tea with the "premium" caviar option...Not sure there was "value" for my $160 but it was enjoyable enough. The sandwiches had a good variety of fillings, if not too much white sandwich bread so didn't feel that special? Also, every sandwich was room temp, including what seemed should be the "hot" options? Desserts were fantastic! We really enjoyed them. To compare, I would definitely go back to Tiffany's Tea but not sure I would here. Tiffany's is an elevated menu while this is an iconic, time-honored offering...and such a beautiful room to enjoy it in!

    Fantastic service, beautiful old world charm with few Picasso and Chagall paintings. Really heavy and decadent food offerings in the Afternoon Tea platter too. Had a wonderful time!
