The food was the biggest disappointment. We opted for the tea prix fixe that was $140 per person ( which is the low end) but other than the scones, the food disappointed us. The tea sandwiches seemed to have come out of a fridge where they were prepared a day before and dense, and very average. It has been years since i had been there for tea before, but i feel the food has gone downhill. Dessert was also underwhelming and not all that tasty. Did not seem that fresh.

I took my daughter to The Palm Court at The Plaza for Afternoon Tea for her 12th birthday (first time for both of us) and we had an absolutely wonderful time. We both had the “Central Park” and we loved it. The ambiance, service, attentiveness to my daughter’s peanut allergy…EVERYTHING was just perfect. Special thanks to Vincent and Mary and everyone who stopped by to wish my daughter a Happy Birthday. It was a truly memorable day and we can’t wait to visit again!

High Tea at Plaza offers food with only scones worth eating Service is nice enough. Price is outrageous. I had been told by hotel that Holiday Price stops January 12 but they did charge higher holiday price on January 15 and said price changed January 16.

My sister Debra & I were happy to visit Palm Court though I miss the lovely ambiance when there was no bar, only little tables scattered around the room. (Bar added 18 years earlier than now, 2025.) Kabir was so attentive and we enjoyed talking with him, a man with 34 years of memories of Palm Court!

The experience didn’t feel special for the price. I’ve been to other high tea places in the city and am not new to the format. The Palm Court is beautiful, but to me, that was just it.

The food was excellent and so was the tea. The service was also excellent by our server Feliz. He explained any questions we asked about the food and the tea we ordered. This was a memorable experience for the family

Food was stale, service was sub par. Ambiance was overrated. They advertise holiday decorations up until January 12th, but it was long gone by then. Save your money and go someplace else.

Perfect special occasion tea. Service was spot on. Vegan menu was well above average. The scones were quite dry but at least they came through with them and offered whipped coconut cream and jam, Petit fours were exquisite and the savoury sandwiches were also creative and delicious. The tea was average in a huge pot which cooled to quickly. Staff were lovely. Overall an excellent experience. We have had many teas at top establishments and usually the vegan request stumps them or is a letdown, but the Plaza nailed it. Thank you.
