The Plaza Hotel

My partner and I went to Palm Court for our anniversary. The menu was great and the place was phenomenal. I am taking the time to write this review for Khalid. Khalid was great. After our waiter ended his shift (and he told us that he was leaving), we had last minute questions and requests, nd we were not sure to approach as everyone looked busy. Khalid was doing his thing, but he sensed our energy, and he made time to make sure he helped us. Not only did he help us with what we needed, he had a great sense of humor to make sure we wanted to come back again. When we were walking out, I asked about Khalid to another employee, and I found out that he was a busboy! What a shame to have someone with such a good sense of humor! I am going out of way to write this as an extra recommendation that Khalid should be considered for a promotion to be a waiter! I didn't get his last name, but we got there around Saturday 1:30 PM, sitting at the back of the hall close to the mirrors. Thank you Khalid and the Palm Court team, for making this a memorable anniversary.

We went there for our anniversary, and it was our first time. It is my partner's childhood dream to go there. The amazing experience we had also helped make it a memorable experience. Mr. Porfirio Cortes was an amazing waiter. He guided us through the complicated menu, and gave us recommendations on how we can maximize our experience. Although my partner has done afternoon teas in many places globally, it was my first time. He made sure that I did not feel embarassed for not knowing the courtesy and culture. He also constantly checked in on us to make sure we had a pleasant experience. Knowing that we had many friends internationally to tell this experience about, Mr. Cortes gave us a few more letters to mail. It was definitely an afternoon to remember. I highly recommend this experience, especially if you have Mr. Cortes as your waiter!

Staying at the Plaza in New York City was magical. It was a dream come true. We celebrated my wife’s birthday. I was very happy that the hotel staff made her feel so special. I would like to give special mention to Shalim and Elvis, who took great care of us while we were at the Palm Court restaurant. They knew our names and were very attentive; very cordial and friendly and welcoming. The rooms were exquisite with the beautiful architecture and style. They were immaculate and housekeeping did a wonderful job. We were very spoiled. The food was delicious and exquisite. The highlight was the afternoon tea -a delectable selection sandwiches and sweets. We will definitely return to this gem of a hotel.

Everything was perfect! The food was A plus. We ordered the WICKED Tea and it did not disappoint. The cherry on top was our waiter Shalim Kahn! Fantastic!

Specifically this is for the Palm Court Tea. My friend and I attended their Wicked themed tea. First off the Palm Court is gorgeous, the bar and ceiling transport you to another time. The food was scrumptious and so creative using the Wicked colors and character theme. We met the Chef- super talented and kind. Our server Shalim, K. was very attentive, took a few pics for us and overall a class act! Definitely a magical experience for a great price.
