    Love the “tea” luncheon experience. It’s very expensive but lovely. Food is always good but again, seems incredibly expensive for what you are served. Service was excellent and we loved our waiter “elvis”

    The Plaza Palm Court is beautiful. Holiday decor adds to the magical feeling. I have enjoyed afternoon tea at the Plaza 4 times before this and am sorry to say it is far from what it has been in years past. While the same tiered trays are used to serve the cute little tea sandwiches, the elevated experience doesn’t feel as special or elegant as it did. $155 for a holiday tea was the only option unless we wanted more caviar. The Plaza tea blend was delicious- but no more loose leaf tea- it’s served already brewed. The dainty sugar cubes have been replaced with packets. And the servers no longer take the time to go through the sandwiches and desserts as they are delivered. It’s still beautiful. The food was fine. But I’m now looking forward to visiting other tea places that have a much better value for what you pay.

    Our overall experience was incredibly disappointing. We were warned that going to The Plaza was overrated, but we thought we’d give it a shot to see the decorations. You have to make reservations at one of the restaurants or stay in the hotel to see them. The service wasn’t good, everything was over priced, and the food was soooo not worth the price. We won’t go back and we will try to warn others, as someone tried to warn us.

    If you’re looking for a New York, New York dining experience this should be at the top of your list. Pricey, yes, but overall it’s an experience that you’ll always recall, as I’m sure we will as we celebrated a marriage milestone.

    Dinner at the Plaza is an experience I’ll never forget! The Christmas time decorations added to an already amazing ambiance. The server my wife and I had, was stellar. We had the New York Tier menu item and each item was delish…and some of the things I don’t even eat, so they must have been good! An unforgettable experience for an already amazing time of year! Will definitely come back again on our next New York trip!

    Great holiday decor and comfortable seating. The check in was frustrating and the food was mixed. The deserts were exceptional while the mains were mostly left on the plate. It felt more like a one and done kind of experience, not something I would go back and do again.
