Great food and wine. We ordered the sample platter for two. Stuffed cabbage and meatballs were delicious as were the beet salads. Exceptional service and very pretty interior. I recommend it! Try the cranberry infused vodka shot.

Whenever I'm in Chicago for a few days, I do my best to eat here. When the menu starts by teaching you the proper steps for enjoying a shot of vodka, you know the place is the real deal.

Russian Tea Time Restaurant is the best place for lunch, afternoon tea, or dinner before or after a show downtown, and has been for 24 years! My favorites: Ukrainian Borschch, Meat Blinchiki, Stuffed Cabbage Rolls, Beef Stroganoff, pelmeni, varyeniki.... heck, everything here is delicious! Their vegetarian selections of salads and stews are so amazing and scrumptious that, were I a vegetarian, I could eat here every day. Did I mention the Russian Tea? Black currant flavored nectar of the gods. And The desserts?!? Wow. Try them all.... Love RTT!!

The Russian Tea Time Restaurant is beautiful delicious experience. We had five people for the Tea service. The caviar, fresh Finger sandwiches and desserts tasty. This was a special celebration for our mother who has family history to Russia. Our server had a background from Ukraine. I would recommend Russian Tea Time Restaurant to my friends and family. Their staff made my mom's experience extra special.
