    Amazing experience..everyone should have holiday afternoon tea at The Plaza all decorated for Christmas & Santa joining in at least once in their lifetime. Our server Fariz was by far the best server we ever had & made our afternoon even better with his amazing personality and impeccable service. Definitely recommend The Plaza tea & Fariz!

    Absolutely charming place with an elegant tea service. I loved the beautiful room which was lively and filled with chic guests. The food was so great especially the scones. We wish we had more scones but there was plenty to eat! The tea was delicious and the whole experience was glamorous and fun. Also the service was extraordinary. The servers were helpful and sweet. ~ I highly recommend!

    We had an absolutely wonderful experience! The food was fantastic and fresh, the service was prompt and the staff was friendly and helpful. It was everything we wanted it to be. The pumpkin apple soup course was my favorite and the crepe course was a close second.
