Try 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.

Order caviar anything; the sturgeon is delicious, moist and comforting.

Hands-down worst service in nyc. Seated 2 hours before appetizers arrived... 4 hours and $250 for an unimpressive dinner for 2. Avoid!

Enjoy High Tea in style, or grab a cocktail in this Gossip Girl filming location from Season 2. Just don't get arrested like Serena.

The Duck Blini is to die for. Also the Czar's ice cream nougat with 14k gold is amazing

Tried this place out for Restaurant Week - the food was truly terrible to the point that I don't plan to ever come here again.

Why all the comments that there are no Russian foods on the menu? Funny, many of the dishes are in my Russian cookbook.

The service was terrible. I know people feel compelled to come to this place because it's iconic.... but go to another icon. This place was patently unimpressive

The French Onion Soup was OK; the Beef Stroganoff would have been good (though way overpriced) if it hadn't been *so* overwhelmed with the truffle. It was so strong it was nauseating. Avoid, too $$$
