For ninety-eight 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.

    Excellent, classic and delicious. A legendary NYC institution which lived up to the hype for us. Pricey, but what isn’t in NYC? Go. You won’t regret it. We went for an early dinner before a show at Carnegie Hall. Perfect.

    It was my first time dining here and the food was amazing, I suggest the Baked Alaska for dessert. The service is the best, It was worth every penny.

    This is not the Russian Tea Room I have loved for 60+’years 5 My favorite borscht was watery and had no chucks of beef ~ The chicken Kiev was impossible to cut and what happened to the waiter cutting thru so the butter streamed out?
