New York City's Most Romantic Restaurants

Caviar Russe

Luxury caviar house and cigar lounge for the czar in you.

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. To close the meal, consider the marvelous jewel box of a cigar lounge.
