    One of the best values for high-tea. Generous portion of sweets. Nice relaxed atmosphere where you don't feel rushed.

    We had exceptional service, the food was delicious, and they were very accommodating of our four children. It is a pleasure to be able to go back as a family to the places we used to frequent as a couple. It also felt very safe.

    The milky oolong tea was the best I’ve had outside of France. We ordered borscht, potato latkes, and stuffed eggplant. It was all delicious. The service was very good.

    Visiting Chicago on a quick train stop, found the restaurant on Open Table, highly recommend it.

    Been waiting to see the renovated inside and it was lovely to see it looking fresh and well-put together. Tea service was great as usual

    If you want excellent food in a pretty environment, then Russian Tea Time is for you. And let's not forget the vodka flights--three one-ounce samplings from a choice of several. I had the Ukranian flight and had fun deciding which I liked best because all were good! I do think, however, eating a pickle after each sip is an acquired taste, one that I have not yet acquired. Service was excellent; Natalia explained the items I was not familiar with, and my choices were delicious. For a limited time, there is a $25 prix fixe menu, which is what I ordered from. Finally, if you are a woman dining solo, you will be treated well. In summary, if you are not familiar with Russian Tea Time, give it a try. I think you will be glad you did.
