    Pelemnie
    Alyssa G.

    Lets start with the delivery -I wrote three separate times the phone number to call/tex in the delivery instructions and yet no one called or texted me to let me know where my order was. Food - just awful, there was zero flavor in the stuffed cabbage. And it was covered in tomato paste, Ive made better. Not worth the price of 18$ -the pelemenie was only about 12 and there was no sauce, no utensils no dill. Overall this will be a pass for me, service was awful and the food did not taste like traditional Russian food.

    Borscht soup
    Mandy K.

    Everything we had was great and felt like homemade cooking. We had the hot borscht soup (good pumpernickel bread that comes with it), potato pancakes, Moscow style baked Pelmeni (chicken/mushroom), and potato vereniki. All was great just definitely heavy food so had to get a green salad too. The restaurant is inside an aged Russian spa and the decor has a very traditional vibe. Felt like stepping into a time machine or travelled to old Russian time and hard to believe it's the financial district.

    Kiev Style Pelmeni

    The entrance was a little confusing as we had to walk though the spa and down and up several steps. You get to look down on the spa on the way in and see folks lounging around as well as feel the steam rising. It made me nostalgic for an onsen. We sat in a cafeteria-style room with several tables. We were the only customers. The waiter brought menus and gave us a few minutes to order. He was really helpful by making suggestions based on our questions. We went with the Greek salad, beef tongue, Kiev style pelmeni, and lamb skewers. The tongue came first which was very tender and was even better with the grated horseradish. We also ordered beer to accompany the meal which were big (16oz?). I really enjoyed the Greek salad, especially the basturma - little strips of deliciousness. The Kiev pelmeni was baked with dumplings, mushroom and cheese/cream on top. It was good but some parts of the dumpling were hard and needed to be rolled around in the sauce to soften. The lamb was the only dish we didn't love. It was a bit tough and didn't have much seasoning. Aside from the lamb, it was a solid meal.

    small restaurant, good Russian food. Service was good, they serve lunch specials and food a la cart. There are spa services and pools available in the building.

    My husband and I visited this restaurant on June5, 2026. We ordered the herring appetizer and the…read morehome made dumplings appetizer. We also had the chicken Kiev and the duck leg and breast entrees. The Napoleon was our dessert. Absolutely delicious! The ambiance is cozy and romantic. Our table service was amazing. Irina did a wonderful job taking care of us, especially when we joked around when I accidentally spilled my cocktail all over the table. Irina came back with a new table cloth and in a split minute everything was changed and cleaned up. Great job and service. Ask for Irina, she is amazing. Hope this post helps with everyone's decision to visit this restaurant.

Learned that Beluga vodka is made in Montenegro (who knew?). Pet peeve- bread service as a menu item. The bread was good, but really? Just charge 50 cents more for everything. The food was excellent. We shared the eggplant salad, the blini with smoked salmon and the artichoke salad to start. I had beef stroganoff for the first time. It was excellent. Really rich, couldn't finish it. My wife had the Kamchatka, same thing. I had a bite of a friend's chicken Kiev (is it transgressive to eat this in a Russian restaurant?) and it was delicious. We were too full for dessert. Unique atmosphere. Excellent, but very rich food. Worth checking out.

    OMG what a fun spot!!!…read more My daughter and I had a staycation in the city, and this was one of our dining spots. The space is red, like super red, with interesting art all over. The staff is very friendly and helpful. They gave us the dessert menu so we could order Tea with Cherries with our meal--a real hit! We had: - Beef Stroganoff -- delicious old-school Russian favorite. - Chicken Kiev -- so good and crispy. - Baked Alaska -- another old-school favorite! - Tea with Cherries -- so good. We will definitely come back with the whole family next time!

    I had been wanting to visit The Russian Tea Room for quite some time, so after Masquerade, when we…read morefound ourselves hungry and nearby, it felt like the perfect opportunity to finally experience it. We arrived around 4:15pm on a Friday, and the restaurant was quite empty. Knowing that afternoon tea service ended at 4:30pm, we asked if we were still able to order it. The first person we spoke with said no, but shortly after, another staff member came out and said they could absolutely accommodate us. We were excited and grateful that they were willing to make it work. The space itself is beautiful and has a charm all its own. I loved the little details, including how they pulled the table out for us to sit down rather than making us awkwardly squeeze into the booth. It felt like the kind of classic New York experience I had been hoping for. Unfortunately, this is where the experience took a turn. We confirmed again that afternoon tea was still available and were told they would be happy to serve it. When the tray arrived, I was honestly confused and disappointed by the presentation and the lack of items included. I don't know if we were served what was left at the end of tea service, but it was very different from what I had envisioned for a place with such a long-standing reputation. I asked to speak with a manager, and he apologized and offered to take the tea service away. I appreciated the apology, but I was surprised to still be charged for a champagne that I never touched. I even told him I was happy to pay for the tea, but instead I was charged $25 for a house champagne that did not look appealing and was part of the disappointing experience. I really wanted to love The Russian Tea Room. The atmosphere is beautiful, and there is clearly a lot of history and character here. Unfortunately, the afternoon tea experience did not match the expectations that come with the name, and the handling afterward left me feeling even more disappointed. Sadly, this was likely my first and last visit.
