From the OpenTable editors: For when only the biggest blowout celebrations will do, this Midtown hotspot's ultra-luxe menu – where caviar, naturally, is the star – can't be beat. Go for one of the three MICHELIN-Starred tasting menus, where chef Edgar Panchernikov's showstopping plates of Japanese mackerel, white asparagus, and oysters are all topped with caviar. Velvet booths, floor-to-ceiling windows, and tall chandeliers only reinforce just how special it feels to eat here.

    Widerful experience fantastic food. I find the menu very confusing. Was hoping to treat my guests to a caviar tasting experience a tasting option of 3 or 4 different caviars would have bern very nice

    We have eaten caviar service here for years and it has always been amazing, last night we combined caviar service with a number of a la carte items - every dish was outstanding- the meyer lemon foie gras, bluefin tuna & golden egg, stunning amuse bouche and a beautiful puligny-montrachet. Service was top notch and we can’t wait to return - thanks to all the staff for making this a night to remember

    We had a limited amount of time to dine before a show tonight, so the speed, service, and options at Caviar Russe were perfect. We had drinks with the crispy rice and also the lobster hand roll, which were both amazing! Highly recommend and planning for a return visit.

    Fare, especially the caviar, is very good, service impeccable. Only question is expense — a much better value at two-thirds of the actual cost.
