    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.

    Outstanding dining experience. Our 8th time going for dinner or brunch. Dinner is excellent, but the brunch is hands down the best in New York City. Hesitate to write a review because it is obvious that in the next couple months it will be impossible to get in. The setting/ambience is stunning. What you'd expect from a massive budget from RH. Staff is like Four Seasons hotel. And the food is unbelievable. You'll struggle to figure out what to order and so you'll do what we do...which is to go back. Whatever you order at brunch, make sure to include the Swedish Pancakes...possibly the best pancakes on the planet. Sweet potato is not to be missed (brunch or dinner!). I heard another diner today (patriarch of what appeared to be an elegant Southern family) say "the avocado dish was epic". I think I'll have to go back myself to verify!

    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.

    I go here regularly because the food is exceptional (not ordinary), it's not too loud, there are no tv screens, and I can have a relaxed conversation with my guest(s). Service is good. High ceilings give an airy feel. There are plenty of choices in the area, but this is my favorite place to eat.
