• surprise birthday party

  I've been to Caviar Russe many times for dinner, and it's always incredible. But recently, my husband threw me a surprise birthday party there, and it was truly unforgettable. The food and service were outstanding, as always, but what made it extra special was the attention to every detail—from the warm hospitality to the personalized menus. All our guests had an amazing time. Thank you, Caviar Russe, for making the evening so memorable!

• birthday celebration

  Amazing night on Friday. And let me just say, right up front, that my tastes are often more lavish than my budget and Caviar Russe is a prime example of that (4 stars instead of 5 only because this is not a place that I can afford to patronize very often!).. Nevertheless it was a great celebration with great friends and I am so glad we had the opportunity to GO BIG on this one. We had 3 types of caviar (our waiter was very helpful in pointing out which ones we might want to try - and he did not push us to the most expensive options which I appreciate). The presentation of the caviars with their various sides is fabulous. We also had oysters which were fantastic. Then we decided to have some a la carte dishes from the tasting menu - we all ended up with the scallops with truffles. SO GOOD. Note: none of the items on the tasting menu have a la carte prices listed - but don't be afraid to ask. We also ended up being comped a range of desserts - all of which were great but the baked alaska was especially fabulous - set ablaze tableside. SOME NOTES on our experience. At first we felt very rushed after we had ordered our caviars but had not yet ordered our dinners. The waiter hovered and would ask every few minutes whether we were ready to order. We finally told him he was making us feel uncomfortable and he explained that, if we order the tasting menu, the chef needs to know right as we are seated for planning purposes since the restaurant was fully booked that night (both the dining room upstairs and the bar area downstairs). Once we told him we would be ordering a la carte, everyone settled down and it was a great service experience. Now to the tab: $750 per person which includes a generous tip. I will also add that the portion sizes are VERY GENEROUS and they replenish items without being asked, e.g., the pancakes with the caviar. GREAT RESTAURANT but for me, this is a once in a blue moon experience (because of the cost)..

• private room tour

  If you like caviar and exquisite food, this place is a gem. We had the caviar with different starch, especially the new one that we had never tried- the potato and was really delicious with the champagne. Service was impeccable I thought the food was perfect and the staff was thoroughly attentive with Pedro giving us a wonderful tour of the whole beautiful restaurant. Matthew is a great host and conversationist we thoroughly enjoyed our visit and upstairs There are some beautiful rooms and also private dining areas… will be back again on our next visit to the city!

• friends dinner

  I recently had the pleasure of dining at Caviar Russe, and it exceeded all expectations, it was the perfect place to go. From the moment my friends and I walked in, we were treated with utmost care and attention by Chef Teddy and his team. The service was prompt and attentive, making us feel like royalty throughout our meal. Each dish was a work of art, meticulously presented, bursting with exquisite flavors and served with the right temperature. The atmosphere struck the perfect balance between relaxed and upscale, providing a comfortable yet sophisticated dining experience. And let's not forget the desserts—absolutely divine—and the refreshing drinks that complemented our meal perfectly. I would eagerly return to Caviar Russe anytime for another memorable dining experience!
