Fodor's Review:

Superbly prepared and often Croesus-rich Russian dishes, such as the rich meat stew à la Romanoff or fried quail wrapped in bacon, are well matched by the surroundings—double-headed imperial eagles, gilded Empire-style chairs worthy of a tsar, original art, crystal chandeliers, bouquets of flowers, and antique silver. The dining room is relatively small, and made even more intimate by a fountain and an old grand piano. A pianist plays daily, and is joined in the evening by a guitarist singing Old Russia tunes. The Grand Imperial's secretive banquet hall is a favorite dining place for Russia's oligarchs, who cherish the grandeur and privacy it offers.
