Fodor's Review:
An opulent mansion houses an ultra-exclusive restaurant, private club, and casino, all connected with the Yeliseyev Palace Hotel. You'll find the usual array of fun for the bodyguard-protected high-society set – gambling, cigars, $230 glasses of cognac – in a glittering setting, with marble fireplaces and gilded ceilings. The Russian and European menus are full of hearty, classic options, including caviar, oven-baked partridge in coriander sauce, veal cutlet with sage sauce, and carre d'agneau in rosmarine sauce. The most expensive dish is baked dorade with ragout of spinach and snails with mascarpone ($67). The Sunday brunch ($45) includes black and red caviar as well as lobster and champagne. Be sure to tour the casino, with its lush cigar lounge with walnut-covered walls and leather sofas.
