Caviar Kaspia at The Mark

The general manager Christian saved the day for my friends 50th birthday party! He made sure the surprise was not ruined and made everything appear seemless! I am very grateful to him and his staff!!! Highly recommend the old fashioned, lobster mac and cheese and duck! Delicious! Will be back! Thank you to our amazing waiter as well. This reservation is beautiful. Highly recommend!

Caviar and martinis couldn’t get any better at this delightful upper east side spot. Perfect lighting. Quiet enough to actually carry on a conversation at your table. Caviar service was perfect. The waitstaff beautifully dressed which adds to the ambiance. However caviar Kaspia is not stuffy. Happily gave us a table after we strolled in on a Saturday early evening. It’s a real treat! But could also be a regular cocktail stop!

By far the worst restaurant experience of my entire life. I came with my parents expecting a pleasant moment, and it turned into a complete nightmare. The service was absolutely unacceptable. The waiter was not smiling, cold, and almost rude. We felt rushed from the moment we sat down, as if our presence was a problem. There was constant pressure to hurry and to order more, pushing us to consume instead of letting us enjoy our meal peacefully. There was no kindness, no professionalism, and no sense of hospitality at all. What makes it even worse is what happened at the payment. When I paid by card, I later realized that I was charged more than the actual amount of the bill. This is extremely serious and completely unacceptable. Whether it was intentional or not, this kind of mistake should never happen in a professional establishment. Between the awful attitude of the waiter, the constant pressure, the aggressive upselling, and the incorrect charge, this experience was a total disaster from start to finish. It is shameful. I do not recommend this restaurant at all. Avoid this place at all costs.

Threw the Bagel Away — Worst Place in NYC Please read other low rated reviews — I wish I did it earlier. We pre-ordered their signature caviar bagels for pick-up, hoping to enjoy them outside on a nice June day with coffee or tea from a nearby café. Unfortunately, it started to rain, and we asked — very politely — if we could eat inside the restaurant instead. We were happy to order drinks. The room was completely empty. Still, the hostess had to “check” if it was allowed. I stood there awkwardly as the staff quietly debated my request, with one woman — seemingly a manager — finally saying: “You can only stay if you order additional food. Drinks don’t count.” I explained we hadn’t even seen the bagel yet and didn’t know if we’d want more food. The answer? A shrug. No flexibility. No warmth. No hospitality. It was essentially: “Not our problem — figure it out yourself.” Mind you, it was pouring outside. Every nearby café was packed. This place was empty. Still, they couldn’t let us sit down for 15 minutes with our $35 bagels. And now, the food: – A dry bun. – The cheapest cream cheese imaginable. – Caviar that was smashed into a sad, muddy paste — not individual pearls, not fresh, with an off smell. The caviar had no taste - the amount is so small, you can’t taste it. When I tried it separately, it was clearly low quality and possibly old. I had no trouble throwing the whole thing in the trash — because self-respect is worth more than an overpriced bagel. Conclusion: Poor service. No flexibility. Terrible food. A luxury concept with zero soul or execution. Easily the worst place I’ve visited in New York.

A delightful experience, and well crafted decedent dishes. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be back but I did have the urge to find that 1 missing point in each dish, such as, the salmon carpaccio was cut too thick for my experience, the tuna tartar needed something with a bite, and there was nothing to put them on...no cracker, potato slice, chip...nothing.. and there was way too much butter in the baked potatoes, which overpowered caviar... small things, but they would have made a positive difference. The service was impeccable, the room is well dressed, and the people watching did not disappoint.

Full disclosure...I was a guest at the Clam Shack outside of Caviar Kaspia. First Lobster roll of the season. Outdoor seating marvelous. We.made a ressie but maybe you can walk in. See the dessert. I dont know what it was other than fabulous.

It is a great place in UES if you want an upscale ambience. The interior is great. The food is delicious. The staff is polite and discreet. We went there during the daytime and there were not many people around, which was perfect.

Disclaimer: the review is for the limited edition caviar bagel only. Not applicable to the menu things. My friend forwarded me a caviar bagel reservation and I was very curious at the combo. I picked it up and ate it right away. First of all, when I get a bagel, I expect to eat a bagel. This poppy bagel is certainly not baked fresh at the pick up: maybe fresh at 9AM, but definitely not at 11:30AM. It is not even roasted prior to pick up. It is roasted/baked hours ago and dried out (maybe for the purpose of putting caviar in). The whole bagel is is hard as a baguette gets and is cold and not chewy at all. Why is this information important? Because it interefered with the texture of the caviar and the cream cheese schmear significantly. Because the poppy bagel is hard as a rock, the caviar got smashed between bricks into cream cheese and resulted in two thing: 1) the 60% of the caviars popped and got squeezed and were lost on the wrapping papers instead on my tongue and 2) the caviar watered down the schmear so much that the supposedly creamy schmear tasted like milk-powder mixed with salty ocean water. The flavor of the schmear paired with caviar is not bad. The slight salinity and the mild fishy flavor of the kaspia caviar doesn’t overpower the bagel (but considering the amount, I doubt it is 30g, or most of them went on paper). When I intentionally had a single bite of the caviar, the flavor became obvious and it is too-notch quality. For schmear, I like the milky flavor, surprisingly, (not creamy, but milky), but I wasn't sure whether it was supposedly to taste this way or it got watered down by caviar juice and blended with salinity. Interesting, but for the bagel, definitely not a good bagel. In fact, maybe they should have called it caviar baguette instead. The service is great. The gals at the counter were super warm and welcoming. The tables and the set up inside feels like Tiffany’s breakfast (not the movie, but the color scheme). I enjoyed the Russian dolls on the counter more than I enjoyed the bagel.

Dining at Caviar Kaspia, the iconic Parisian institution at The Mark is a must experience if you love caviar. It's exquisite interior design is by French visionary, Jacques Grange whose clients include Yves Saint Laurent, Paloma Picasso and Karl Lagerfeld. The restaurant offers an exceptional menu of signature dishes and features a boutique with a selection of the finest caviar and gourmet accompaniments as well. The service is exceptional and the ambiance is romantic. I had a glass of Barons de Rothschild 'Concordia' Brut champagne to go with my amuse bouche before dinner entree. My entree was the Black Truffle Caviar potato served with Royal Oscietra Caviar.

Although a bit overpriced, everything we ordered here was amazing. We started with the caviar and it was very good. It was a bit more expensive compared to other places, but we really enjoyed it. We also started with the tuna tartare which was amazing and I definitely recommend. We then got the truffle pizza which was great. Lastly, we got the crab legs. My husband enjoyed them warmed as opposed to the cold ones. Overall, I would recommend, but be prepared to spend a lot.

Horrible!! went to get caviar and some tarama- found OPEN JAR of USED tarama that you can find at the supermarket!!! incredible- haven't opened the caviar yet but this is atrocious- RIPOFF

Made a reservation,picked up the 55 dollar bagel. The caviar was delicious but the bagel was so hard it was like gnawing on shoe leather. Overall an epic fail.

I enjoyed a wonderful meal here with friends. The room is beautiful and elegant. The service was excellent, and the food was perfect.
