Información sobre este restaurante

Ideal para música en directo
Genial para ocasiones especiales
Romántico

There is only one way to describe it: Classic Russia in the heart of New York.
The history of Russian Samovar starts well before the restaurant itself. Originally Jilly's Canteen, and owned by a friend of Frank Sinatra, Jilly Rizzo, Samovar was the go-to hot spot for Sinatra and The Rat Pack.
In 1986, Roman Kaplan, founder of Russian Samovar acquired the property and was joined in 1987 by friends and business partners: Legendary dancer Mikhail Baryshnikov and Nobel Award Winning poet Joseph Brodsky. Baryshnikov's baby grand piano is still used daily by our performers and guests can still request the Brodsky table, where the legends used to sit and drink away the hours. Guests of private events also enjoy our private dining room, where Baryshnikov filmed Sex in the City.
Samovar has remained a celebrity hangout over the years. We've been lucky enough to feature impromptu shows by Liza Minelli and rumor has it that Mel Brooks adapted The Producers to film while sitting at our bar.

I had such an amazing time at Russian Samovar with my date last Friday night. She was the one who introduced me to Russian food and how she’s been coming there for five years straight when she moved to NYC. The food was incredible, the drinks were great, we loved the atmosphere of the restaurant, and we saw live performances from professional dancers along with the DJ. I’m looking forward to coming back soon to try some of the food that I didn’t eat on the menu and see more of the live performances.

A lovely restaurant to dine at before or after a Broadway show. The Chicken Kiev was deliciously and authentically prepared... finally!! a place that does it right. There is live piano music... but try not to sit close by... the beautifully played music was a bit too loud to have a continuous conversation.

Food was really good. Service wasn't. One server was stretched thin. Ordered a main course and after waiting a long, long time for it got brought a few wrong main courses. Finally was told with the last one that the chef made a substitution ... without asking me?? Totally unacceptable and restaurant really didn't address it and even charged for the higher price item that didn't come.

My star levels are not to be taken as absolute. There were some issues and some variables. I have been here several times although my last visit was probably about 18 months ago. Today's experience was not the usual and I don't know if an isolated issue or a change. The restaurant was fairly empty but there was one nearby table of 4 men one of whom was very loud - seemed to be telling jokes and laughing at an explosive level. We didn't make an issue of it because the person was just having a good time and was not being nasty or abusive in any way so, it wasn't fair to complain but it would be nice if management - in any restaurant - would make note of such loud disruptive sound and ask patron to tone it down. In addition, there may have been a staff shortage - I saw fewer wait staff than I recall in the past. It took so long to get my cold appetizer salad that the host person (the person who seemed to be in charge) took note and waived the charge for it. My duck was very good. My wife loves pelmeni and noted that the dough seemed thicker than usual and she did not get mustard (as in the past) as well as sour cream. She didn't care about the mustard and so we didn't ask for it. My strudel was good. My wife's Napoleon was good, but unusually. Instead of multiple crispy thin layers - it consisted of three thicker layers of dough with two thick layers of filling. My wife enjoyed it but it's not what one typically expects.

We’d never had a Russian food before, so we were looking forward to trying dishes we had heard about. We enjoyed Borscht soup, Beef Stroganoff, and Chicken Kiev. The food was excellent, service was good, and we loved the beautiful, relaxing music by the live pianist. We aren’t into vodka, so can’t comment on that, but enjoyed the black tea. Lovely dinner, would like to go back next time we’re in NY.

Everything about our first experience there was fantastic. This place was recommended to us by a Russian friend and even though we know nothing about Russian food, it didn’t matter! Service was friendly and the food and drinks were amazing. We got the beef strogonoff, chicken kiev, some apps and cocktails. All amazing. Highly recommend to anyone and it’s close to the theaters so very convenient.

2 nd time here. Did not disappoint!! Atmosphere is fantastic with live music nightly. Mater dei is an excellent host who knows how to take care of his guests. Vodka was nice and cold and the food was spectacular!! The salmon blini appetizer was some of the best smoked salmon I've had and the entire dish ws delicious amd presented beautifully! We also had the beef stroganoff and stuffed cabbage which I'm still dreaming about!! Did I mention the vodka was nice and cold (and infused flavors without sugars). Super smooth and easy to drink. If you're looking for a memorable night with A+ food, people and music, just go! You won't regret it!!!

We had such a delightful time treating friends from Paris to Russian Samovar recently. They loved it too. This is the third time we have dined here. The first time, my beau and I stumbled upon it and ate delightedly at the bar - wonderful. The second, my adult daughter and I dined pre-theater on caviar and gastronomic delights, and loved everything from the Borscht Martini to the caviar service to the lovely little dumplings and delicious main courses done to perfection. On our latest visit, pianist played such lovely songs that we got into the spirit and sang to each other at our table. Being of Eastern European descent, I love Polish, Ukrainian and Russian foods and have always been so happy here. What lovely times!!
