    Great experience from the moment we stepped into the hotel to the time we left. The service was superb, the staff was friendly, went above and beyond and knew what you wanted before you could ask. The food was delicious and the tea was out of this world! Highly recommend even if it's a one time event.

    Awesome atmosphere, great food, and the staff was fantastic. Special shout out to Khalid during tea service and Lauren at the bar who made one of the best ever holiday specialty drinks, the “Holiday Spirt”. The doorman was especially helpful while hailing a cab and assisting with our holiday shopping bags.

    Shocking. I knew it was a set menu of finger food, I went expecting something like The Ritz or Fortnum & Masons in London. The Plaza’s food is more like a bakery down the road, around the corner and 14 tube stops away from The Ritz. The atmosphere is fantastic and would have made up for the food if the staff weren’t so arrogant. They kept assuming I couldn’t afford to be there (probably because of my accent) and reminding me about the price. Sorry babes, you work at a restaurant that’s only famous because Macaulay Culkin visited 25 years ago. Take a selfie out the front and buy a hot dog from a cart in Central Park, it’ll be tastier.

    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.
