    Great vibe, excellent service. However, food is not that good, too much bread in the preselect menu. And the bread doesn’t even taste fresh. Desserts were good though.

    I was extremely disappointed with my experience. I booked the Palm Court months in advance for the lite fare menu at 6 p.m.. We were excited to see the plaza and have a few apps and drinks. When we arrived we were told it was a price fix menu. It was 95 dollars per person and 45 for children. We were not permitted to order anything else. The price fix menu was just a small assortment of tea sandwiches much like the tea service during the day. There weren’t any other items and we were not allowed to order drinks if you weren’t ordering the price fix meal. If you decided not to eat you still had to pay 50 dollars per person. None of this was communicated to me. We eventually left. I found this to be extremely embarrassing and we also left hungry. I expected more from the Plaza.

    Beautiful place to indulge in formal afternoon tea. Wonderful experience for a young girl since they can get the Eloise tea. Very expensive but worth it as a special treat during the xmas holiday

    I get the experience of tea at the Plaza Hotel but the food was mediocre at best and the service was sub par. Considering the price these should have been a much higher standard.

    You pay for the experience. The $95 price tag for the evening cocktail bites was definitely not worth it. The dessert bites were the best part.

    Wonderful experience at Palm Court. Tea was very smooth. I love the ambience and carpet flooring that absorbed a lot of the sound. Food was delicious. Scones were warm and soft and melted in my mouth with the special sauces. Everything was made well and very rich and not too sweet. Service was amazing from Fabriz. Highly recommend his professional service. Thank you so much

    Holiday Afternoon Tea was beautiful, and delicious, but a tad expensive for what you get. That being said, would I go again? Yes! We had a wonderful time, and service was first class. You are paying for being at The Plaza, and it truly is a memory making experience!

    Afternoon Tea was a wonderful experience. All the flavors from 6 different sandwiches, 5 different sweet treats and biscotti biscuits. It ends up costing around $200 per person with 18% added gratuities.
