Bring back the buffet!

by xdreduardx

Went there for brunch hoping to find the pre reconstruction abundance, fun and a gorgeous spread inside the room in the back of the Restaraunt as well as stunning people watching

Instead we got:

1. regular food off the menu

2. high chairs that give you privacy but make it impossible to people watch

Please, please bring back the wonderful buffet!

• Pros: Restored ceiling.
• Cons: No buffet.

NY Diner

by ginal

My husband and I had a good recommendation for high tea at the Plaza. I was disappointed with the service and food. First of all, there was only one hostess to sit you while the line wrapped around the restaurant. When we were finally sited, we had the Plaza high tea. Caviar was served plain on a doughy pita, proscuitto sandwich was very chewy, pastries were good but skimpy, and we havent seen our server until our check. After our experience at the Plaza, I wished we went to Peninsula for high tea.

Being Courted

by yantissjs

Are you in the mood to be transported? Courted, by a bygone era, wafted aloft by the spirits of true ladies and gentlemen? Was that Joan Fontaine I saw in the spring of 1990, sitting just four tables over? Did Raymond Burr just sit down, with Barbara Hale? And what year was that? The atmosphere can tingle when you least expect it, while you are being lulled with a suculant crab salad, and the lightest of white wines imaginable. When you reach to pick up a blueberry beignet, you are liable to glimpse Robert Vaughn or Sally Field enjoying a few moments of gratuitus anonymity.

• Pros: Superb food, Enchanting atmosphere, Delightful service
• Cons: , None, None
