BoozeMenusApril 9, 2012For an over-the-top dining/drinking experience head here. On Mon-Fri between 5-7pm it's 'Vodka Hour' where you can taste 2 vodkas for $14; stay for dinner and opt for one of their vodka cocktails. Read more
- Paula BuzzoDecember 24, 2017Stunning place and excellent service. Try their Boeuf a la Stroganoff is absolutely delicious, the meat melt in your mouth... To finish ask for the St. Petersburg tea.
zǝɐq ǝlɐJuly 25, 2015If you wanna try something delicious in a very Russian environment, come here! The service, food and the place is great. Russian with love is just delicious!
Cynthia LinSeptember 1, 2019Love the setting and great for afternoon tea with your little guy! It’s A LOT of food! The kids afternoon tea menu will leave them full.
Ayelet AAugust 7, 2017Been here for restaurant week, a real bargain if you ask me. The food was great, and the atmosphere is super unique, feels a bit like eating in a museum 😏
Harumi UDecember 21, 2014Beef stroganoff is served with short rib steak on top of noodles! If you are a sweet person definitely try blintz
N. S.December 7, 2018The beef stroganoff is hands down one of my favorite things I’ve ever eaten. Worth the visit and the expense for that stroganoff alone.
Hailey NguyenOctober 22, 2017Nice tea selection and desserts. The interior is quite grand and suitable for special occasions
Anna KhanNovember 25, 2012Teas are amazing. Try to come for the afternoon tea where you get scones and pastries. Decor is very lavish and old Russian. Def a nyc must see.- CamilleSeptember 21, 2014High tea is so much fun! Delicious sandwiches and desserts. Better option than dinner in my opinion.
Gilt CityJune 29, 2011Try the Cavitini with Imperial Vodka made from wheat and rye served dry, chilled and up with 10-grams Hackleback Caviar and olives. It's a classic Russian cocktail and absolutely delicious.
Lebedeva NatashaJanuary 20, 2012Sasha is the best waiter for Russian customers, and it's not that many of them at all! This place has the least Russian food, but nice atmosphere and good service. Try the pancakes with red fish
James GoochOctober 2, 2019Nice food - the Borscht is amazing and the mains were tasty. The dining room is very pretty too...but everything is so overpriced.
Jinnie LNovember 11, 2014very nice♥ friendly service. we had chocolate pyramid & cheese cake (really rich) with some nice tea~ :)
Lidia DonajFebruary 18, 2014That was a very nice stop on our way to Carnegie hall. Very impressive decor and good choice of food.
Buford BarnesMay 29, 2012Established 1927 by former Russian Imperial Ballet members. Crossed the street 1929 to brownstone from 1875. Building remodeled in 2006, retaining restaurant as original. Frequented by celebrities.
Petra LynchJanuary 18, 2016Brunch was excellent though it took a while to even get our drinks. The kids loved the pancakes and the French toast.
🎀Lu Nossi 👸👙👗👠👜💄September 2, 2015Try the High Tea with Mint Tea. Very nice place to know, with very beautiful furniture and decoration.
Toad MushroomDecember 8, 2013ESCARGOT: delicious - slices of garlic were a great touch to the dish, but not amazing due to excess use of salt.
Georgios KouritasNovember 21, 2014High Tea, nibbles, cherries and gin in a very eccentric and decadent parlour
Chrissy KJuly 29, 2016Drinks are a bit on the pricier side but their Moscow mule was pretty good. Food is good, nothing fancy or out of the extraordinary
Zoe CareyOctober 13, 2019Cool to see the interior decor, but the afternoon tea is beyond average. The cupcakes tasted like they were from a multipack at the local deli. Just come to have a drink and then eat elsewhere.
AmateurConciergeFebruary 21, 2015You don't come for the food. Enjoy the over the top ambience and some tea with sour cherries
Effie GumenikAugust 10, 2013went for their prefix for groupon, service was great and food was on point!
WP TheaterMarch 19, 2013Try the Chocolate Pyramid Dessert. It will make you happy! Almost as happy as seeing JACKIE will make you. :-)

Try the Caviar Blinis - New York City food tour continues..,and the server us a fan of @aliceferris on @downtonabbey
Kelly Mitchell, The Wine Siren™January 13, 2012The Duck Blini is to die for. Also the Czar's ice cream nougat with 14k gold is amazing
Mrs LOctober 23, 2010Was here once late at night in high school. Remember it being very fancy inside w/a pink motif. I love tea and caviar, would be nice to go back soon.- Try the Meat Vareniki - Beef Vareniki "From the Pre/Post Theater Menu - Daily selection of Russian-style ravioli.
Alex RobinsonNovember 28, 2011Enjoy High Tea in style, or grab a cocktail in this Gossip Girl filming location from Season 2. Just don't get arrested like Serena.- Siddhant HardikSeptember 3, 2014I drink lot of tea but my favourite is darjeeling black tea. read more about my tea preference. Read more
