Despite the name, the emphasis here is on Russian food rather than tea. Traditional caviar service and classics like borscht, salmon blinis, and stuffed cabbage wave the old-world torch, as does the time-warp look of red booths, brass chandeliers, and waiters in tuxedos. Neighboring both the Art Institute of Chicago and Symphony Center, Russian Tea Time draws a cultured crowd.
