Russian Tea Time Restaurant Chicago Reviews from The Last Year
Russian tea time is a beautiful place.
The atmosphere and decor was stunning. So I went in expecting more than I got. I also very quickly became uncomfortable as the staff all just kind of stood in the back corner surveying the sort of small and narrow dining room and waiting. It made me quite uncomfortable. We got Queen tea service, and honestly it was overpriced for what it was. I wonder if the regular tea service may have been better. Most of the small desserts were great, but the jello was very bland and unappealing. Also there was only one of everything, which made it difficult to share/try everything. Other teas I have been to give two of everything so that if you share a tea tower with someone, you both get to try a bit of everything. After the tower, I was hoping the food would be a step up. The salmon was ok, the carrots and the sauce were great. The mashed potatoes had the consistency and flavor of instant mashed potatoes. Over all it left a lot to be desired. It felt like a downtown tourist trap that wasn't really worth the price. I will say though, the tea itself was lovely. I tried an earl gray and it had a very delicate and floral flavor and was very good.
Marvelous
My dinner experience was amazing and exceeded my expectations. I was very happy with the attentive service and fresh food. The environment was calm and pleasant, allowing for diners to enjoy classical music selections playing in the background. This restaurant offers a great selection of meals, while the location is great.
I cannot recommend this place enough!! I am a semi regular
I cannot recommend this place enough!! I am a semi regular at Brighton Beach mainstays and let me tell you - Russian Tea Time knows what they're doing here in Chicago!! The chicken Kyiv was the best I've ever had. And believe me, I've eaten a lot of these butter stuffed bird breasts in my time here on earth. They also have subtly prepared infused vodka. Truly bringing out the best flavors in both the vodka and the main ingredient in their distillations.
I really look forward to visiting this restaurant when I am
I really look forward to visiting this restaurant when I am in Chicago. It is a lovely and very clean establishment. The food is excellent. My favorites are the cabbage rolls and the wonderful Earl Grey Lavender Tea. I also look forward to having the best old country pumpernickel bread.

my first time trying Russian tea, loved the fact they had a big Ukrainian flag in the front. The world needs peace not war! our server Eugene was polite and kept refilling the black currant tea at regular intervals. We got the savory platters, delicious bites of all my favorite sandwiches.I will be back again!
I love getting afternoon tea from this place and it's
I love getting afternoon tea from this place and it's convenient to the Art Institute and Millenium Park. They give you SO much food and the teas are great. I liked the fruit teas, they were pink and purple. They change them around a bit, so I'm always excited to try new teas. They give you sugar cubes for the tea too.
It was great, I had beet soup, pelmeni and napoleon.
It offers a nice experience after the art institute which is located right across the street from this. Inside looks a little posh.
This was such a fun experience.
Service: Staff was were very friendly and attentive. They also gave us some good insight in what might be the best tea for us to get based on our preferences. Our server also helped us decide what type of veggies sandwiches we wanted with our tea service. Price: The prices were very reasonable especially considering the amount of food we get. Food: The food looked delicious. The scones were the the right about of soft and the cream that went with it was so yummy. Their sandwiches were also really good and much bigger than typical tea time sandwiches. The bottom tray of desserts also had a nice variety. Atmosphere: They have a very red Russian themed room and it's really fun to dine in a themed spot. The restaurant is very close to the Art Institute museum so it's a great place to come to after all the walking around.
Love the Russian decor along with servers who are from that

Everything was fresh and delicious! Service was good, but the food was amazing! The tea also was great and they had really nice choices. Somewhere you should absolutely stop in and get the honey cake at the very least.
Indoor table service with excellent house tea and great
Indoor table service with excellent house tea and great selection of other teas. Good Russian food choices as well: recommend the Beef Stroganoff. Attentive service--they pay attention to little details, for instance the tea server even makes sure to point the cup handle towards you after refills. Best to plan ahead and put in reservations for peak tea hours weekend afternoons.
Wonderful food and tea
My daughter and I ate here for lunch prior to visiting the Art Institute. We shared the white strawberry tea, which she lived with a lump of sugar and I loved without any sugar. We ordered the Russian platter for 2 and it was excellent. The first plate included fried potato lakes, dumplings, and many different cold salads. Our favorites were the chickpea and the beet, but they were all very good. The 2nd plate included a cabbage roll, chicken kebab, beef stroganoff, rice, and bulgur. Again, everything was delicious. Our server was very polite and attentive.
MEH
This was a disappointment. The dining room was beautiful. The food and service did not live up to expectations. The tea had been brewed too long and was bitter. We've been to Russia and to Russian restaurants in NY city and Atlanta. This was not comparable.
Really good Russian food and atmosphere
Went on a Thursday the room was bustling and warm. My teen is studying Russian and was thrilled to eat at a real Russian restaurant. We had the borscht and butternut squash soup to start both were really good. Then we split a couple of appetizers I forget the name of them but they were huge and filling. We also had tea, he had the house tea and I had Darjeeling. Really fun and memorable.
Delightful gluten-free tea service
We took a break from our excursion to the Art Institute to enjoy afternoon tea - not even a block away. We were pleased to find out they had a gluten free option for both the Classic and Queen tea services. The savories and sweets were yummy. And the white strawberry and green apricot teas were both delicious. Service was good and the atmosphere enjoyable. We will definitely come again on our next trip to Chicago.
Perfect pre-concert meal
We were looking for a meal before a concert by the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, and happened upon the Russian Tea Time, which, contrary to its name, did offer a dinner menu. We didn't have a reservation, but were able to get a table straight away, and we had the special shared menu for two, which included a variety of starters and main courses. Luckily, I thought to check the information from the CSO, and discovered that we also qualified for some free vodka as we had concert tickets - not something we would normally order, but they happily brought us two complementary flights of vodka. All-in-all, a great pre-concert meal.
Not the same restaurant as pre-Covid
Russian Tea Time has always been one of my favorite restaurants- classy, good food, lovely atmosphere. I hadn't been there since before Covid and was excited to go back there. We were so disappointed - the atmosphere wasn't as nice as before (since they "redid" the dining room). The menu has far fewer food items and the only warm vegetarian dishes have beyond meat in them. Miss the mung bean stew and so many of the other dishes. So sad - but glad they are still open despite Covid (although, I won't be going back :( )
Great Service from Yevgenii
We stopped in on a Saturday for a late lunch and it was a pretty full house. I instantly noticed the Ukrainian flag in their window and buttons in support of Ukraine being worn by many of the servers. The entree prices are between $20 -40 per person and there’s something for every palate including gluten and vegetarian friendly options.
Loved every second!
We loved everything about this experience! The ambiance, music, velvet booths, service, and especially the food made this so very special. The presentation was magnificent!

Great Service - amazing dinner!!
Read about the site in NYT and bought a reservation at Mother Wolf in LA 2 days later. Worked great and the food was amazing!!!
Worked perfectly!
Got the reservation (that I couldn't get anywhere else) and was able to entertain a group of friends at the infamous Bern's Steakhouse.
Got into Nobu Malibu
Wonderful! My parents are visiting and we have wanted to go to Nobu Malibu for years. I tried getting a reservation myself but it was next to impossible. So glad I was able to buy a reservation on appointment trader for a decent price!
Very easy
Was very hesitant going into this experience but am glad to say that it worked out very well ! will definitely use appointment trader in the future
Fabulous Lunch
I was veeeeeerry skeptical that this would work, particularly at a restaurant as hard to get into as Nobu Malibu, and it was perfect! We had lunch outside on the patio and it was fabulous!
Great reviewer team
Just wanted to take a second to shout out the reviewer team. Even though they probably review hundreds of listings and bids a day, they still take the time to leave great comments and respond relatively quickly. Thanks!
Incredible
I got a reservation to Don Angie, which I've been trying to book for weeks! I am very happy with this service.
Best platform out there!
Super simple, easy, and fast to secure reservations for hard-to-get restaurants and locations!
This app is life changing
This app has opened my world up to so many wonderful new experiences I would never have the chance to have without access to this awesome app! 10/10!
Worked perfectly
Was a little nervous at first but was pleased to see that the booking went through flawlessly.
Highly recommended.
Success on Short Notice
Was able to snag an indoor table at Don Angie through an absolutely seamless worry-free process.
Worked perfectly, thank you!
This is a crazy holiday season in NYC and I was very pleasantly surprised to see that AppointmentTrader works! Will be using again!
Worked flawlessly!
Worked so well! I was a bit nervous, but everything went very smoothly. purchased the reservation, and got into the restaurant seamlessly.
Love this app!
So glad I came across this app :)
Quick table in Miami
I didn’t have my hopes high as it was a party of 4. In 24 hours I had a carbone reservation available! I was very happy as my family really wanted to come here
Prime time, great meal
So easy and had a prime time which I can never seem to get on normal res apps. So worth it
Got impossible NYC res
instead of waiting weeks I got my 4 charles reservation instantly
Worked perfectly to get into Carbone. So delighted
perfect
Worked well, got me into a restaurant with no availability
I was skeptical, and I still don't really know how they managed to find this hard-to-find reservation, but it was a win-win from my point of view, and I'll use this service again.
Last minute reservation for Delilah Las Vegas
Got a last minute reservation, dinner for 2 at Delilah Las Vegas: super impressed! The process was simple, transaction seamless. We had an amazing time! Couldn’t be happier! 😍
It works!
Ok at this point I've attended a reservation purchased on AT by a friend and sold a reservation personally. Both worked pretty smoothly, nothing sketchy about it. A few areas for improvement including a way to more directly communicate between buyers and sellers, but the app always seems to be in development. AT customer support is really(!) responsive and helpful too if you have questions!
Money transfer
As a seller, I like the fact i have the ability now to transfer money out of my AT account and into a bank account. Makes getting the money much easier then the process before.
Love this app
Got to go to places otherwise unreachable
Easy Access
Very easy to get into one of the hardest restaurants to reserve in New York.
Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?
It can be under your name or a name you choose! Some reservation offers already include the AppointmentTrader Transfer Service which will transfer the reservation in to your name. If its not included you can add it on after buying the reservation for a small fee. One thing on that though: As many reservations become available at last minute, taking a reservation in someone else name is quick and great for privacy. Most reservations on AT are listed with a virtual phone number, so all you need to do is present the phone number at the hostess stand and you are good to go!

I will give you 50% of ALL of my PROFITS if you teach me how to make profits?
LOL. Thank you The New Yorker.
Appointment
Transferring reservations is not supported in AT. Why not just use the name in the AT screenshot?
Buyers interested in Bern's Steakhouse: PLEASE READ
Same goes for 4 Charles and I Sodi
Prepaid Reservation Fee
Agreed. Ultimately not addressing this month after month is clearly resulting in a drop in certain venue’s rankings & sales.
Congrats on 3 mil

Need to cancel a bid, not getting a response… how do I do it?
Click on "Take off the Market Option" in your portfolio
Working on your bid?
Your bid has been “matched” with a reservation. From the time a reservation has been located, the seller of the reservation must connect with moderator to give transfer information for reservation. If the seller;however, does NOT respond to reservation transfer, then your bid is reprocessed and returns to the first step, which is connecting your request to a reservation.
Process after bid is accepted.
Hey @EvocativeFold67, welcome to appointmenttrader! Once the reservation is in your portfolio, you definitely own the timeslot, the review team would not have approved the trade if the reservation wasn't confirmed - so you are going :-) Judging from your post you bid today and are going tomorrow - don't worry as long as you initiated the name transfer, you are good - the transfer service has to work with the opening hours of the reservation team of the respective venue. You will likely see the transfer confirmation a couple hours before your reservation time.
Where do the Reservations on AppointmentTrader come from?
Mostly from people who don't need their reservations or appointments any longer. AT has no relationship with places listed and acts as a platform connecting buyers and sellers making sure that listed reservations are real and that privacy is not compromised when transacting.
What happens if my bid expires unanswered?
Hey @FluffyStar64, thanks for the question! When you place your bid the amount gets transferred in a deposit account, the second you either cancel your bid or a few minutes after the bid expires the funds are moved back into your main account from where you can refund it to your payment method or use for other transactions.
