Kazi, our waiter, was attentive and kind. Best experience ever at the Palm. In the past, I felt that they couldn’t have cared less about their guests. Kazi changed my opinion of the Palm.
We had a good time ! Went for afternoon tea. The sandwiches were delicious! But the desserts were soso. If you like lemon flavoured stuff you would like it! Place was nice for pictures.
Mary was a great waitress. The atmosphere was wonderful! I got the eggs benedict, and they were perfect! What a wonderful stop for upscale breakfast/brunch/lunch!
Excellent experience that I would recommend to anyone, especially for a special occasion, four of us went as a birthday celebration and the waiters sang happy birthday with little cakes and a candle, lovely touch. There are two choices of afternoon tea menus of sandwiches, cakes and scones, several choices of teas and champagne. Can’t praise it enough, friendly staff that made you feel very welcome. The ambiance was great. A lovely dining experience.
The decor and ambience was very romantic. The mosaic ceiling was a marvel. The tea and dishes were excellent. My boyfriend and I had a nice afternoon tea to belatedly celebrate our anniversary, and The Plaza did not disappoint. Thank you!
We had a wonderful time having tea at The Plaza. Our server treated us like royalty. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. This was our first visit, but it won’t be our last.
Weak tea, stale sandwiches and bad service... Not what we had expected for the price!
Poor service and disappointing food presentation. We would not recommend it.
I organised a 50th birthday afternoon tea and my party consisted of for 2 vegans and 2 vegetarians. I gave the Palm a months notice and checked in with them about this a week before to confirm dietary requirements were in hand. I was told they were. The afternoon tea was the worst I’ve had. Sandwiches tastes awful with a strong tomato taste and the scones kept breaking and there were no real cakes for the vegan. Service was good but food not at all. Waste of money and the experience to be honest. Setting was beautiful and the staff were pleasant. A cake for the birthday lady was Turkish delight or some jelly cubes. Not great at all for a special occasion.
Wonderful as usual. This was our second time doing a special. Lovely, and wonderful service.
Went for breakfast, ordered off the menu instead of breakfast buffet.
Server came around our table and poured everyone a glass of orange juice without mentioning anything or asking. At the end, he had charged us $12 per glass. We had thought it was complimentary. He should have mentioned something. Food was average.
Excellent!! Our waitress, Ursula was so nice and accommodating. We had a lovely time.
The Palm Court never disappoints. The food is always good, and the service is excellent.
I had quite lovely afternoon tea at Palm Court. Immediately when I walked in, I smelled a floral scent in the air. I noticed all the beautiful floral arrangements so beautifully placed around the room.
The tea set was lovely. White with a light green and silver stripe going around the top. My favorite finger sandwich was the cucumber & mint. Delicious! The tea can easily be for up to 3 persons, which I recommend as it was a lot for 1 person, me. And a must see, is the beautiful painting of "Eloise"!
Thank you for making my birthday celebration so memorable! a bientot!
The service was very poor when you spent that much money. It felt like They couldn’t get me out fast enough.
The waiter kept on standing right behind me during the entire meal.
For 90$ you should spent your money somewhere else.
Just what afternoon tea should be in a beautiful setting.
Kazi took wonderful care of us for our niece's sweet 16 lunch. she had a lovely time & we have many pictures that Kazi took the time to take for us.
My son and I having been dreaming of going to afternoon tea here for years. He’s moving to California in a week so we celebrated by having the tea! Every bite was delicious. The atmosphere was exactly what we wanted. So fancy but yet comfortable. We had so much fun! My only suggestion is to make sure you know the price of the water before you get it!
Nothing can surpass the outstanding service of The Plaza Hotel NYC, excellent for special occasions and enjoy NYC at its best. Special thanks to Kazi for his outstanding and lovely service. This place and experience are worth every dollar.
Food was nothing exceptional and coffee was cold, had to ask for hot coffee. For the cost of the breakfast, you expect something more.
Molto bello il locale, molto buona la colazione e molto alti i prezzi, ma siamo al Plaza!
After working in hospitality for 3 1/2 years in London I’ve experienced, learnt and taught 5 Star service.
-The servers seemed genuinely uninterested in being there. With no sense of the company they were representing.
-Weren’t trying to be engaging with their guests (us or anyone else in the restaurant, happy to talk amongst themselves)
-I happen to have 2 coffees at breakfast yet I finished my 1st and then when the empty cup was finally taken from my table, no offer for another just a drop of the bill (which I didn’t ask for!) I almost couldn’t believe it, it’s a sign to the guest that it’s time to go which I do not appreciate.
-Butter and Jam already on the table when we arrived, you might feel you’re being prepared but I guarantee anyone that comes in the first thing they will think seeing that is “How long has that been sitting there?” “Has another guest touched it or was it their’s to begin with and it’s been forgotten and just left on my table?”
Then once we ordered our food (neither of us ordered any toast or anything that would require butter or jam) it was still left on the table. Anything that a customer is not using and isn’t likely to use shouldn’t be there. If you take it away and then after my main meal I ask for some toast/bagel/English muffin then feel free to bring it back but it doesn’t need to be there when we first arrive or when you know we haven’t ordered any toast.
-Sugar cubes in plastic packaging, besides being 100% a waste of plastic it’s more cost effective for you to buy in bulk loose cubes (sugar tongs for serving) The extra plastic was never removed from the table, only cleared once the dirty plates were. This is not showing an eye for details and for a very quiet time of the morning with plenty of servers to go around I expect them to keep an eye on the tables.
- Finally the price, if I was getting top notch service then I honestly wouldn’t mind paying $12 for a coffee, however that’s not what I received... Disappointing.
It was my first time visiting New York with my friend. We were excited to have breakfast here. She ordered coffee. It was not hot. The servers were pleasant and nice. The breakfast wasn't anything special & was also not hot. It was fine but no reason to come back.
We booked afternoon tea for a birthday celebration. I had the Champagne tea while my friend had the New Yorker. My only criticism is that they did not explain the pastries and sandwiches as is typically done at other teas I have attended. The scones with clotted cream were delicious and they even brought an additional plate of pastries with a candle for my birthday. I was overall quite pleased with the experience, and would definitely book again.
My daughters gluten free afternoon tea was good, particularly the cakes. Scones not brilliant, but the normal scones weren’t either, didn’t come close to English scones. Very mean with the cream, but thought we would probably be charged if we asked for more!
Felt we were being rushed choosing our tea, I twice asked for longer to consider the choices.
Our server did not explain what we were being served, just pointed out we had sandwiches, scones and cake, pretty self explanatory, would have been nice to have had more detailed descriptions.
You are paying for where you are and the experience more than the food itself. I was glad we did it, but can’t say it was worth $200 for an hours experience for two.
A very beautiful hotel, but was very disappointed that the flowers were fake!
Had better afternoon tea experiences for less money. Fortnum and Mason in London was exceptional.
Myself and my daughter throughly enjoyed our breakfast at the Plaza. It was a great experience and we will book again when we are next in New York.
Venue is beautiful. Delicious food. A little expensive however you pay for the venue.
A beautiful afternoon spent at High Tea at the Plaza. We had booked in advance, and I had advised them that I needed the gluten free menu. They were on top of everything from the moment we arrived. Fabulous service and fabulous food (including a completely gluten free high tea). Couldn't fault and well worth the money. A notable thing to do whilst in NYC.
Wonderful afternoon tea to celebrate my nieces 50 th birthday & her daughters 11 th birthday. They made it very special with a candle in macaroons & the waiters
sang Happy Birthday. Absolutely lovely. You can’t beat the ambience of the Plaza’s Palm Court. Fared, our waiter was gracious and attentive.
Perfect! Beautiful! Loved the experience! So fun!
Lovely experince. My server was attentive, the hostess was friendly and breakfast was very good. Such a pretty spot.
We celebrated our 20 year wedding anniversary here!
Fariz was our server and the service was EXCEPTIONAL!!
Whether you celebrating a special event or just celebrating the day, I would highly recommend tea at The Plaza! This was truly my heaven on earth!
The staff was less than pleasant. They really did not look happy to be there.
Afternoon tea is rah-ther wonderful for all ages. Enjoy a splendid interlude with enough food to count as lunch and dinner.
Our waiter Kazi J was excellent! It was my daughter's first time there and she went for the Eloise tea, and LOVED it.
Afternoon Tea at The Plaza was everything I had hoped for and more! Well worth the $$ for an amazing experience
Service was outstanding!
Service was outstanding. Great tea and prosecco. Sandwiches were really good! Pastries were scrumptious. Highly recommend.
Went for afternoon tea. The food was superb and the tea was the best cuppa we have had in the United States. The service was also excellent. Could not fault it. Whilst it is expensive you are paying for more than just the food. It is the whole experience. I would definitely recommend this for special occasions.
We arrived early for our High tea reservation and were seated without an issue. We thoroughly enjoyed our experience of great food and wine. Fariz took outstanding care of us. He was attentive to detail, easily substituted items we did not care for and never made us feel rushed. Thanks again for a memorable time.
