Aren't DMV Appointments non-transferrable?

While it's true that appointments are technically not transferable, for DMV Appointments the transfer service is included for buyers at no cost. The transfer team has both - the sellers and the buyers dmv information, so it can cancel the sellers appointment and then rebook under the buyers name. Should something not work out the Appointment Trader Money Back guarantee will kick in. In any event you won't be turned away when you go to the DMV as the Appointment will be in your name.

The Russian Tea Room New York Reviews from The Last 180 Days

Yelp: 🙂 (13) Tripadvisor: 😒 (7)

Absolutely delightful experience.

The meat in short rib dish was fall off the bone tender and the ambiance is unique in a good way. They support Ukraine and I believe a Ukrainian person owns a business.

Came here for Afternoon Tea on a Sunday.

2/5 by Jessie L. on 03/14/2022

I've been to my fair share of Afternoon Tea experiences around NYC at this point at various price points. The Russian Tea Room's Afternoon Tea is a disappointment. It is $80 for the standard package. I got the Formosa Oolong tea. It was pretty decent and I did enjoy multiple refill pots of it. But the food was rather disappointing. First course - sandwiches/savory items. They do offer a larger variety of sandwiches/savory items than many other tea experiences. There were a total of 8 different flavors, but they can be very hit and miss. I enjoyed the croque monsieur and the shrimp remoulade sandwiches the best. They were good sized and very tasty. It was my first time tasting caviar, so I can't really speak to this area, but I thought they were fine. But some of the flavors were a really poor choice. There was a blue cheese flavored sandwich that I could not stand. I took a small bite and left the rest. Blue Cheese is a very strong flavor and it's either you love or hate it. I just don't think it's a good choice to put on a platter like this. There was also an artichoke sandwich that had way too much pepper in it. It was very out of balance and not great to eat. I had to chug it down with the tea.Second course - scones and desserts. They offered chocolate chip scones, which I thought was a good idea. You don't see many chocolate flavored scones at teas....but these were not scones. They were basically biscuits. It was dense and not flakey. At least they were warm. The flavor was fine. Usually with scones you would get an airy whipped butter or a clotted cream. Not here, you just get some cold butter and tiny jars of jam. The jars of jam are like what you would see at the Marriot hotel at breakfast, cheap and disappointing. I feel like they really should've made a jam in house. There was a caramel macaron that was very good - it was a large macaron and very chewy-in a good way! There were some cupcakes and a dollop of frosting. Very unprofessional looking. It looked like something I would make at home for myself. The presentation really needs some work. They also tasted pretty cheap, like something I would buy at the supermarket. There were also some chocolate truffles and petit fours. Those were ok. Not bad, but nothing to write home about.The service was really good. The servers were very polite and attentive. And I enjoyed the décor. It was eclectic and fun. Definitely transport you to a different place. Overall, for $80 I think the food quality and presentation should've been much higher. I've been to more affordable tea experiences and the food was much better. Maybe their standard lunches and dinners are much better, but I would skip the tea. Disappointing since it is called the Russian Tea Room....

😒

The tea and scones were good.

3/5 by Rochelle S. on 03/13/2022

The rest was mediocre. The service was slow. Like 20 mins for someone to come over and even take a drink order. Which is interesting given that they have a strict 90 minute table policy. I have had much much better afternoon tea food. This was underwhelming. We didn't eat most of it. It's an expensive experience to miss the mark so badly.

5/5 by Jenn L. on 03/10/2022

**JUST TO NOTE, THE RUSSIAN TEA ROOM DOES STAND WITH UKRAINE. Came here for dinner for a friend's birthday and once you walk in, it captures modernist Russian-style decor. They do offer afternoon elegant high tea and have the finest vodka selections. The service was great and the food was amazing! Things I ordered:- Dushbara: Lamb dumplings boiled in lamb broth and served with cilantro and vinegar- Pelmeni: Siberian style with sour cream, mushrooms and peas- Lamb Chops: Seared lamb chops crusted with Georgian spices and served with roasted root vegetables and pomegranate syrup- Kulebyaka: Pastry wrapped salmon with slow-cooked onions, mushrooms and mixed vegetables with carrot and raisin herbed rice pilaf and dill beurre blanc- RTR Burger: Grilled 8oz. wagyu burger with grilled balsamic onions and blue cheese on toasted bun. Served with sweet potato fries.

How stupid are libs in this city? They aren't going to this nyc iconic establishment because it has the name Russia in it? These nyc libs are disgusting. What's next? McDonald's Big Mac because it has Russian dressing? Go have a nice dinner and enjoy the food and ambiance.

Vibe was awesome.

Felt like I was in an old school movie scene. Service was fast and great & the food... so good. Deserves more than the 3 stars. Probably the best restaurant I went to during my trip.

5/5 by Hannah J. on 03/08/2022

My roommate and I had a magical New York experience at the Russian Tea room. This restaurant is so soaked in history it's insane and the interior is very cool. We came for restaurant week since it can tend to be more expensive. The service is impeccable. I tried borscht for the first time and really enjoyed it. The beef stroganoff was delicious and the NY cheesecake was heavenly. I wasn't feeling up to alcohol so the staff whipped me up a delicious mock tail that was a take on a mule. What made this experience extra special was we asked one of the staff to take our photo at the end of the night in the booth and he said no this is not good enough follow me, he lead us upstairs and turned on the lights to the closed 2nd floor just for us. We got to see the dancing bear that has live fish inside of it and the magical tree and allowed us to take much better pictures in the upstairs dining area. It was so neat to talk with a long time staff member about working in such an iconic location and to get to see the 2nd floor.

I was visiting my son in Soho and always wanted to see this

5/5 by Karen P. on 03/08/2022

I was visiting my son in Soho and always wanted to see this restaurant. We made a reservation for 4:00 pm on Sunday thinking that we would partake in the afternoon tea. We made a last minute decision to switch to a caviar tasting with a vodka tasting. I recommend this experience highly. The presentation and the caviar was exquisite. Our waiter, Edmond, was attentive and gave us the historical history of the restaurant. I was very impressed with the service, ambiance and quality of the food. I didn't have the chance to try their tea service but I recommend their caviar tasting!

🤮

The biggest disappointment of our entire trip!

1/5 by Mushmich on 03/06/2022

Whilst the decor is amazing this place is let down by the lack of good quality food and even worse, their staff! The owners need to seriously rethink the way this place is managed and operated. Until that happens, they are going to continue receiving these negative reviews. The service was atrocious and, most certainly, NOT with a smile. We had the afternoon tea! Our bill was over $200 for a handful of tiny sandwiches. I could have made them better myself at home for the kids' tea and some rather unsightly and awful tasting petit fours. The only decent item was the hot chocolate. The hostess was short and curt with guests, and the waiter clearly wished he was anywhere else rather than serving the diners. Of all the places we dined, this was undoubtedly the biggest rip off. I hope this review will stop anyone making the same mistake we did. There are a million other places in NYC more worthy of your hard earned cash than this let down!

🙂

Beautifully decorated

4/5 by Patricia L on 03/06/2022

Beautiful atmosphere. We went for brunch. You pick you tea from about 20 different ones. Menu had lots of choices and price ranges. I have the cavier omlette that was delicious and the Anastasia tea.

5/5 by Karen Y. on 03/02/2022

Coming to the Russian Tea Room feels like walking into a part of history. The interior ambiance, and knowing the walks of life that have come through here, made this an eye-opening experience.I walked in my dining companion on a Sunday evening without a reservation, and was quickly seated. Walking through the rich interior with the beautiful decor was already a treat for the eyes.We started out with the borscht. It was sour and yet not too curling on the tongue! The beet flavor comes through in mellow nuances.The scallops were so tender and delicate! Slicing through each one was like slicing through soft butter. They were very light and flavorful. The mushrooms added a fun, chewy textural contrast to the soft scallop.The czar's gold parfait is a visual treat, as well as a tasteful one! The ice cream itself is a bit hard and almost butter-like texture, which is my only critique. The candied almonds were sweet and salty, and the chocolate sauce was rich.Overall, I recommend, if you wish to sample a historic establishment!

🤢

Disappointing tea service.

2/5 by Doris F. on 02/25/2022

Definitely not 80$ worth. Sandwiches were scattered and very few. 3 scones and over cooked Madeline. Do not recommend

2/5 by Jules S. on 02/24/2022

The service was amazing, my water glass was never empty and the staff were very friendly. I ordered the scallop dish with mushrooms and a butternut squash purée and the dish lacked flavor and was over-salted. I could barely eat the scallops because of how salty they were, the mushrooms were over cooked and the purée didn't have much flavor at all. My guests ordered the beef Wellington which also was a disappointment, the puff pastry was soggy and the meat was over cooked. Although this restaurant is a well known establishment in NY, I was disappointed with the food quality.

🤮

Our dining experience was terrible.

1/5 by Perry S. on 02/22/2022

As out of towner's we wanted to go to an iconic restaurant. The menu was not what we expected even after researching beforehand. We both ordered the chicken and it wasn't fully cooked. The food is just not good. Don't let the ambience fool you.

🤮

Beautiful surroundings, awful food and service

1/5 by mw_yyc on 02/21/2022

Arrived here early on a Saturday morning. Got the evil eye from the hostess for not having a booking (even though there was plenty of space and when I went to reserve 20 minutes earlier there was tons of availability so didn’t seem necessary). Makes more sense now because the Afternoon tea was NOT worth $80. Stale cupcakes and choux pastry. Tea bags and no loose leaf tea as you’d expect. It got worse as the wait staff took away our tea towers before we even finished and plopped down the bill. They hovered the entire time and as soon as I put my jacket on they were already turning the table over. There are much nicer options in New York for Afternoon Tea. Won’t return here again.

🙂

Warm in cold December

4/5 by Lathifa on 02/15/2022

Such a warm place in the middle of cold New York on December. We tried the christmas menu and it was good. The portion is so big for asian tummy. I think the staffs have been there for a long time, they’re super professional.

🤮

Not worth it. Kind of a disappointment.

1/5 by 973rooster on 02/11/2022

The BOEUF BOURGUIGNON was tasty but the borscht was underwhelming. Unfortunately the servers were inattentive and not standard of fine dining establishments so that aspect was lacking and effected the entire experience. I wanted to try the Russian Tea Room for quite some time and I will certainly not be returning with so many other better dining options

😍

Great restaurant even if you are not welcomed

4/5 by Djuscha on 02/03/2022

I love this restaurant as I’m originally from Russia. It’s a piece of my home and nostalgia there.
I would always recommend to have a reservation.
We had a reservation for 31st of December.
We came on time in a festive mood and looked forward to the dinner at this wonderful restaurant.
As we entered we have been kind of welcomed by 2 young, moody, ladies. Who didn’t cared about customers, service, what ever. They offered us a table that was squeezed in between. There have been other table free so we asked if possible to wait and get another one. This was accepted more or less with a bored face and attitude. What a shame, auch an amazing restaurant and first what you get is already on a border to be rude.
After 20 min not even an update from ladies who have been busy with their phones and looked at each coming customers with the look of “do not disturb”.
Luckily after 30 minutes nice gentleman updated us and shortly we Finally could take place and enjoy delicious dinner.

Appointment Trader

😍 5/5 Review by AcceptableParcel20 (03/24/2022 9:35 am)

Wow! First time using this website/app. It was almost hard to believe the quality of customer service I received as soon as I posted my offer. A private chat forum with me and the person helping me find the best option. Constant communication and a wonderful experience using Appointment Trader. I'm surprised it took me this long to find AT but this will now be my GO TO for hard to get restaurant reservations. It was like having my own private concierge.

Miami Beach Hot Spot Success!

My first experience using AT was awesome and the AT support saved the day! When my booking transfer initiated two days earlier but didn't complete by the day of the reservation, AT was able to expedite the transfer and confirm a table at Call Me Gaby in Miami Beach. Boss confirmed an excellent experience when he arrived and no issues to report. Thanks, AT! I will definitely be back and thank you very much for your prompt assistance!

There was one restaurant we really wanted to visit in NYC and AppointmentTrader made that possible. Then when we had issues with the reservation transfer they were so quick to respond and fix the problem. We’ll definitely be using this again in the future.

Whose name will my reservation be under when I arrive at the venue?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/09/2021 5:10 pm)

Best Answer 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!

Working on your bid?

Question by DemurePain59 (10/01/2021 1:24 pm)

Best Answer 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.

Question by EvocativeFold67 (09/17/2021 8:11 pm)

Best Answer 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?

Question by ColorfulRod45 (07/13/2021 3:55 pm)

Best Answer 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?

Question by FluffyStar64 (07/08/2021 5:55 pm)

Best Answer 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.
