Editorial Review for Caviar Russe – by Citysearch Editors
The Scene
Tucked away on the second floor of a small, nondescript Madison Avenue building, Caviar Russe feels more like a private club than a restaurant. The room is a shrine to turn-of-the-century Russian opulence, boasting heavy crystal chandeliers, plush green velvet walls and cozy banquettes.
The Food
The culinary offerings are just as decadent. As you'd expect at a joint owned by one of the most prominent caviar importers in the world, fish roe is the star of the show. But should you wish to diversify, you can indulge in the eclectic menu, rich with such delicacies as Maine oysters with beluga and sake and miniature lobster profiteroles stuffed with sweet tail meat. To wash it all down, choose from an impressive selection of global vodkas and vintage champagnes.

Went for lunch. Nice restaurant on 2nd floor. Tasteful and unassuming. Excellent sushi, fish, caviar, duck confit. Service was good. The wine list is simple but good and not too overpriced, but with advance notice they will allow you to bring in your own wine and pay corkage. I will definitely go back, and next time it will be for dinner.
Pros: This is a value restaurant with high quality food, especially if you take advantage of the Corkage policy.
Cons: The service was good but not great, but that is more likely to be an issue for the lunch crowd than the dinner crowd.
