    This is really expensive for what you get especially compared to fancy hotel teas in Chicago or other cities. Note the tab with the taxes and the included 18 percent gratuity will be more than what you expected, add 100 dollars for three people. Still service was good and I am a fan of high tea. If you read Eloise and you have a daughter you have to do the Plaza once.

    Long check in. VERY expensive for what you get, even by NY standards. Service was great. Food was good for what you received, which is not a lot for $100+/per person.

    My daughter and I had an amazing experience at the Plaza today. Food, service, ambience exceeded our expectations. Will absolutely be doing this a few times a year.

    Iconic location, excellent ambiance. Poised and attentive staff. Good food. Tea was lighter than I prefer. Scones were lovely. The short rib and the chicken sandwiches were a bit stale. The salmon and cucumber sandwiches were excellent. Desserts were hit and miss. The hazelnut dessert was perfection. Overall glad we went as a bucket list item but felt the value for money wasn’t quite there.
