Today, this ritual has become a signature St. Regis tradition.

    Wanted to try a different spot for Sunday tea. Have stayed at many St Regis' around the world and had wonderful tea service at most. U fortunately, this was not the case today. Waited 20 min after we were seated to have our tea order taken. Had to ask the hostess if we had a server. Waited again and was finally approached by a server who said he was "helping us out" as if he were doing us a favor by having to take our order. I asked if he was our server and he very patronizingly said again, "I m going to help you out" Another server brought us our food without introducing himself or apologizing for the inconvenience or asking if we needed anything else. Pretty much left to flag down anyone within eye or earshot to ask for water. Everything had been prepaid as per Open table so I wasn't even given the option to dispute the service charge. Incredibly disappointing. Ive been to tea in many spots around the city but will definitely take this one off our list and I suggest others should as well

    They could do much better. It used to be more elegant, and at almost $300 with extra tip for two as the service was good. But at that price it should be spot on. They have opted for an in pot tea strainer for the loose tea. I understand it might be more convenient, but for an elegant pour and to see the level of the tea in the pot you need a separate outside tea strainer. We were given normal size spoons to stir our tea in the tea cup, not a proper smaller tea spoon, it was too big and clunky. There were no tongs or even a fork to serve the tea sandwiches and small desserts, which was more tricky as the etagere stand on which they were placed was wobbly and rocking and could not be secured. I will definitely give the Plaza Palm Court, the Carlyle, or the Lowell a try before returning. It was quiet and lovely for half the time and then the King Cole Bar opened up with a throng of badly dressed loud tourist right behind this. The waiter even commented that normally it was even louder and more of a line. Well if that is the case manage it better, and don't seat afternoon tea guest right next to the line and bar. The were plenty of other empty table further from the noise crowd of bar of drinkers. Mrs. Astor would have been appalled. I was!

    Dining at Astor Court is a return to the elegance of the old New York. Quiet class and ambience-a nice mixture. They remembered our name and anniversary without prompting. A nice touch.

    Before making a reservation we looked on line to check the high tea menu. When we arrived we were told that the menu we wanted was no longer available. Kristal the food and liquor manager came to the rescue. She removed the egg salad which we did not want and gave us more of the salmon and cucumber mini bites. Since we were celebrating our 63rd wedding anniversary she gave us each a glass of champagne. The baker came out with a piece of anniversary cake that was made for us. We have been here before for special celebrations because the High Tea is always a wonderful experience.

    They charged me twice and I’ve gotten no resolution. I prepaid through open table for the afternoon tea at 3 pm. Suddenly I got a message from open table that the reservation was canceled by the restaurant. I called to ask why, and they had no record of it. So I rebooked again, prepaid again. When I got there I explained I was afraid I was billed twice, and they acted like I was nuts - telling me they only had one open table reservation, period, and showed nothing canceled. Anyway, surprise! I was in fact billed twice. I’ve been calling Astor Court to talk to a human being about it, to no avail. Had to start a dispute with Amex. Really bizarre, disorganized situation.

    Beautiful venue. I had avocado and salmon on toast. Was delicious. Husband ordered a continental breakfast which was a measly 4 pastries. No butter, jam, yoghurt, fruit etc which you would get in Europe. His breakfast was way over priced! Daughter had waffle with raspberries and strawberries- only 2 strawberries! Again it was over priced. Staff were polite but didn’t check on us to ask if our food was fine. At the end we were presented with our bill but not asked if we wanted anything else.

    I have always lived the St Regis NYC - tea, cocktails, dinner, the evening in a luxurious room- nothing better!! I have been going to the St Regis for years! My parents were engaged in the King Cle Bar after my father purchased the ring at Tiffany and hid iit in the pocket of his Cael hair overcoat! Memories!! St Regis memories!

    I brought my mother here to celebrate Mother's Day. We both enjoyed it very much. We live in NYC and have been to a boatload of restaurants. This one stood out which is why I am commenting.It was a relaxing atmosphere and no one rushed us to turn over the table. It's in The St. Regis hotel and I actually felt like I was at a relaxing dinner on vacation. Food was excellent and everyone was welcoming, efficient, friendly and professional. Would recommend and we would return.

    The service was impeccable! ThenTuna Tartare appetizer was excellent. However, the lamb chops had a lot of fat which was disappointing. The sides they came with were excellent. I would recommend a nice cup of Cappuccino which was one of the best I had.

    We ordered omelets and the American breakfast - it took a long time to get our order and noted that others who had come in later were served long before us. Once we did receive the food, mine was tepid. For what we were charged, this seemed way below expectations for the quality of the facility. They did accommodate food exchanges (e.g. fruit instead of potatoes). Although we had a reservation, we were left standing for some time and noted that the table where we were placed was open at the time we walked up. Not really sure this is much better than a sidewalk cafe - only the cache of being in the St. Regis seems to be the main selling point. Everything else was average at best.

    Special breakfast with family. We had a reservation and hot seated quickly in a beautiful table. we waited 25 mins for waiter to say hello and bring us water/ coffee. Food took over an hour to arrive, despite the fact restaurant was not crowded. some servers were not in the greatest of moods and it was noticeable. our server was nice and friendly.
