    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.

    It was absolutely lovely! A very quaint and charming lunch in the Book Room at a table for 2 framed by the arched window! Our lobster bisque, grilled octopus, chicken club sandwich & Cobb salad were the perfect lunch for a wintry walk through midtown! Just perfect! We will be back next weekend!

    We had 8 people on the Saturday before Christmas, had reservations of course, but due to the cold weather a few of us who planned on shopping got there way early and they were able to accommodate the early birds at a table, then move us to our larger table at our reservation time. The 2nd floor manager (forgot her name, sorry) was an Irish delight, so pleasant and efficient, our waitress was great. Food drinks and atmosphere were totally on point, it was a great evening with friends - 2 of whom came from out of state to visit NY and the NY Irish pub experience was perfect.
