    The vegan afternoon tea was simply divine and such a lovely treat for vegans! We celebrated a milestone birthday and the birthday girl loved it! Would have loved more savory options though. But can’t complain when having a vegan high tea is already such a privilege!

    I took my daughter for her first high tea experience to the Plaza, which is stunning. The table and settings in the Palm Court are so pretty.The mirrored tables are poorly scratched. The flavors of tea were fantastic. But, packaged sugar in a silver server? Boo. The tea experience would have been worth it, if the food was better. Servings included 2 small scones, 4 small tea sandwiches and 5 mini desserts, each. The scones were mediocre. There was a savory Foie Gras Mousse with Truffle Aioli that was way too overpowering. Great concept, poor taste. Of the desserts, the mango passion fruit compote was so sour, there was some puckering from the tartness. Earl Grey cheesecake, blah. The other desserts, were ok. But just ok. Sometimes, simple is just better. This tea is minimum of $125 pp. The total with tax/gratuity was over $300. It is absolutely not worth it. Do better Plaza. The quality and taste of your high tea food should match this iconic destinations reputation.

    Beautiful place, but that’s it. Not the best service or taste. Tourist place, nice to go one time only to take pictures. Won’t be coming back.

    The ambiance and service are great; the food is ok (some things are really good, others are average). A bit too noisy for the expected experience.
