Best Restaurants with Private Rooms in Fort Lee

Great first try at this new neighborhood steakhouse. Very impressive. Other than a few bad watermelon pieces in the excellent Barratta the food was excellent. Service was also excellent. I will definitely go back.

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.

This is my 2nd time here. I made reservations weeks ahead of time due to the holiday. I was only able to get outside lobby area. Upon arrival I asked if anything was available inside and they had high top bar seating available at their “seafood bar”. I was with my friend and our daughters under twenty one. Since it was freezing they wanted the inside. We had no trouble talking and the view from this spot was nice. Our server Dorji was EXCELLENT. He was very attentive to our needs and made great suggestions on drinks. We decided on the espresso martini and it was perfect. Our arrival was before 6 so the prix fix was available and you definitely get a lot for your money. The salad was okay but the French onion soup was wonderful and really hit the spot on a cold day. Two of us had the coq au vin and that was delicious. My friend had the steak and was happy. My daughter ordered the NY strip off the regular menu. She loved the fries, enjoyed the steak but said the cut was a little tough. We had crème brûlée which was a wonderful way to end the meal. The location of the restaurant is perfect if you are in town for the holidays. The place was decorated beautifully as well.

This place is fantastic! Excellent Italian on the UES. From the phenomenal service to the delicious food, I can’t recommend this place enough. They always have some wonderfully inventive specials, and last night it was a flatbread with mozzarella, toasted grapes and a balsamic glaze. Delicious. I had the pappardelle bolognese, which is a staple and is outstanding. Some of the other favorites at our table included 2 other pasta dishes and the mussels. They had a s’mores semifredo as a dessert and it was exceptional. We will be back!!
