Located inside the iconic Plaza Hotel across from Central Park and Fifth Ave. Took my son for their holiday tea time, the valet was hard to get into, but once we made it to the front they made us feel welcomed, the check-in was easy and friendly, the staff was very caring and professional, the tea bites and experience was just wonderful. I recommend trying it at least once to be a part of their 100+ year history and your memories.
A truly five star experience. Beautiful setting, selection of afternoon tea treats and service. My friend and I absolutely enjoyed our experience. My friend is a vegetarian and Palm Court made sure that her afternoon was just as delicious as mine. I have been lucky to enjoy many afternoon teas and I rate The Plaza's as one of the very best.
Everything was amazing can’t wait to come again! Treena Marie M The Palm Court at the Plaza Hotel Special thanks to our host Brian who gave us fantastic service and made us feel so special! Also special thanks to Mary C. our server and to the staff that seated us they were also very attentive and gave us great customer service!
Food and service were absolutely amazing. We visited at Christmas time and the decor was equally beautiful. If you want to get in to see it, you need a reservation before 8 pm.
Made the trip to the plaza for tea. The place is gorgeous. Overall great experience. It's definitely pricy, but it is the plaza in NYC. Tea was great and staff was kind and helpful. Definitely a NYC experience.
Afternoon High tea, birthday extravaganza.
A beautiful room, a very attentive server. A great family experience.
Deserts very small but tasty. Scones small but tasty, sandwiches big disappointment. Of course it's expensive But are we here for the food or the experience? Last time in 2017 the food was much much better.
The ambiance, food, and atmosphere was impeccable. However, the ladies at check in did provide the same level of service and care as they did to the white guests. We were ignored and left standing as other guests were seated at their table. Very disappointing. 😩After we were finally seated the experience took a turn for the better.
**Afternoon tea**
I visited the Palm Court for the afternoon tea. My friend, a greatest foodie and experiences fan, invited me to the Plaza claiming they have the best afternoon tea experience in New York (if not in the whole US). This is official: the experience is truly amazing! I have immersed myself into the luxury afternoon tea surrounding by beautiful interior and stylish audience.
Speaking of food - delicious! Teas offered is something else! We chosen The Plaza Signature Tea menu, among which my favorites are: both types of scones, Pastrami Salmon Napoleon, and Kalamansi Meringue Tart. For tea I have picked Tropical Garden (infusion tea), and my friend's gotten Jukro. Both of those were also amazing!
I highly recommend this experience for such occassions as an afternoon date, girls chat, or close-friends meet-up.
Managed to get a reservation for tea at The Palm Court in the Plaza Hotel and it absolutely oozed history and a blue blood atmosphere. Service was top notch as expected and it was fun to people watch and take in the vibes.
Food and drinks were average at best and I've had much, much better tea experiences elsewhere (The Brown Palace in Denver in particular was a standout.)
If you're in the mood to drop a good chunk of cash on an average tea experience in an above average atmosphere, grab a reservation.
We had brunch at the Palm Court the morning of our checkout from the Plaza. The meal was buffet style and very good, so was the service. I believe this is also the room where the Plaza's famous afternoon tea is served as well. At this point, though, the dining room could use a refresh. Overall, it was a fantastic experience.
