    Awesome spot for breakfast or glass of champaign. The Plaza is a hit and must visit while in town. Service was great, breakfast colorful and ambience comforting. Can be pricy but worth it ! Cheers!

    Came here for champagne and lamb chops appetizer before heading to quality meats. Love the ambiance and the food. They give best tasting nuts with drinks. Be aware that they already add a 20% tip even for just two people dining. Trust.

    I stopped in for a cocktail at The Plaza to see how the 1% live. I sat at the bar and watched the bartender work. I ordered the Strawberry Rhubarb Tart, which is supposed to have "rhubarb and vanilla-infused Tito's vodka", but I believe they were out of that, so I watched him add some regular vodka. Anyway, the drink was strong but not terribly flavorful. Adding in taxes and required 18% gratuity, the drink came to $41. I wouldn't return.

    This establishment is located in The Plaza Hotel. They offer meals, cocktails, and tea most of the day. The service is friendly and professional. Enjoying a meal or beverage here, you bask in the ambiance of The Plaza and enjoy its beautiful flowers. The prices are what you would expect from a restaurant in The Plaza.

    I love coming by for a drink during the holiday season because The Plaza always looks amazing. However, if you're a non-guest, the experience can be...frustrating. This is the second year in a row where I've had issues. The four of us arrived just before 5pm, and there were several open tables. In spite of this, we had to wait 35 minutes to be seated at...you guessed it, one of those open tables. It took forever to get someone to come over, and I went 0/2 on availability of glasses of champagne, leaving me with fewer reasonable options than I would have hoped. We asked for the bill when we ordered the drinks, and even then, it didn't come for a while. Prices aside, I left annoyed. So, if The Champagne Bar is a must-visit, be aware. If not, there's plenty of other cocktail bars nearby that'll have better service.

    Love the stained glass!

    I am in New York for business and I decided to stop by to one of my favorite spots to have a quick drink. The champagne bar is wonderful. A bar from a bygone era which represented class and sophistication. My bartender was very nice and attentive. It's a great place to meet for drinks before a dinner out in the city. I would recommend you dress nicely. Business casual. No shorts, baseball caps, and tank tops. It's a classy bar. The champagne bar has an extensive drink menu. Be prepared to spend some money yet it's worth it. Will be back.

    My mom and I recently went to the Champagne Bar inside the Plaza Hotel to enjoy some champagne and the beautiful Christmas decorations during the holiday season. We split the silver champagne tasting flight. The champagne was delicious and we were given olives and nuts as a complimentary bar snack to enjoy while we tasted the champagne. We were both surprised at how large the pours were, full glasses of each rather than tasting portions of each. The servers were kind, but service was slow (we definitely weren't rushed out of there which was nice but we had to flag someone down to get our bill). It was such a treat to experience this with my mom at Christmastime at such an iconic location. I'll cherish this evening for a long time!

    As a guest of the hotel, we wanted to try the Champagne Bar located in the lobby of The Plaza Hotel. The setting at Christmas time is magical! Holiday music playing in the background and beautifully decorated Christmas trees everywhere. The staff was very friendly and attentive. The food was delicious. We shared French onion soup and the turkey club sandwich. The staff was accommodating with us sharing a meal. Definitely a delightful experience.

    Monday Afternoon tea at the Palm Court in the Plaza Hotel
    Sharon S.

    Fabulous Monday afternoon tea after a loooong early morning flight from Texas. Understandably, my room wasn't ready at 12 Noon, so I indulged in a champagne and afternoon tea service. The service and cuisine are 5 star. The last afternoon tea I enjoyed was pre-pandemic at Raffles Hotel in Singapore. So my expectations were high and this exceeded all thoughts! If you are gluten-free, vegan, vegetarian or have specific allergies, the chef accommodates- I have an egg sensitivity so the treats were egg-free and scrumptious! I will return soon! Highly recommend both afternoon tea menus - the seasonal and traditional. 5 stars

    We stayed in the Plaza and we wanted to grab some small bites and drinks here before dinner. The hostess was quite rude. She gave us very few seating options. When we were finally seated, it took 10 min just to place our drink orders. We tried to wave at someone to place our order and were ignored. Our server Nick was not friendly at all. He was short with us and made the experience unpleasant. We were not excited by this bar. The music and ambience is nice, but service is sub par at best. Kind of disappointing, as the Plaza's service is so exceptional!

One the one hand I get it, on the other hand you've got two paying customers on a slow night.

The interior was dimly lit, with a couple of candles per table or counter. It's a perfect place for a date night. And while there may be a wait on busier nights, it's always worth the wait. We were sat at the bar once and were very well taken care of by our bartender, Nikola. It was a Sunday night, so it wasn't terribly busy. We chatted up a storm and he was able to create some drinks off the menu just for fun (on request). He also made my BF and me a couple of drinks to celebrate our anniversary too. Wonderful people and wonderful service. Needless to say, we will be back as frequently as we can!

It was dark when we entered the coffee shop but an ajar door gave way to the bar. The decor is a homage to the works of Nikola Tesla, which can be seen in the subtle electric theme throughout the space and the naming of the cocktails. The space isn't too large - the bar and stools take up most of the space but they also have some booths/tables. The place looks great. The cocktail menu is very creative - I got one of their seasonal mixes that was actually two drinks in one. The main cocktail was meant to be sipped first and they provided a small glass of beer to be sipped after. The name escapes me but it was very good. Since we had cocktails at dinner, we only stayed for one round. Service was good, and overall I enjoyed my time at Patent Pending. I would definitely return to explore more of their menu.

The mint Moroccan tea gave the drink a cool, refreshing taste on every sip. I also tried the Silver Screen, the closest drink I could find to an old fashioned. It was interesting, there was definitely a hint of a buttery taste. Overall a really balanced bourbon drink. I walked in and found room at the standing tables. A bar seat eventually opened up but I was already on my second drink by then. Definitely make reservations if you're planning a visit!

It somehow manages to feel both refined and relaxed at the same time. The kind of place where you half expect to spot Hemingway in the corner pretending not to eavesdrop. We started with half a dozen oysters, which were fresh, briny, and exactly what you want with serious cocktails. Crisp, clean, gone in about three minutes. For drinks, we ordered the Smoke Show and the King Tusk. The Smoke Show was beautifully balanced. The Grey Goose vodka and Dolin Dry gave it that classic martini backbone, but the fino sherry and brine added depth. The smoked olive oil and blue cheese olive brought just enough savory drama without overpowering the glass. It was complex but not fussy. The King Tusk leaned more aromatic and layered. The vermouths gave it richness, while the Buddha's Hand and osmanthus flower added subtle citrus and floral notes that lingered in a really elegant way. It felt like a cocktail designed to be savored slowly. The music fit the mood perfectly, not too loud, just enough to give the room energy without killing conversation. Overall, it's a great spot if you want elevated drinks in a space that feels transportive without being pretentious. Definitely a place I'd come back to when I'm in the mood for a refined, slightly cinematic night out in Flatiron.

We walked in without a reservation around 6:20 p.m., and they were able to accommodate us at a shared table until 7:15. The menu surprised me a bit. Since I associated the address with Eleven Madison Park, I wasn't expecting to see items like wings stuffed with sausage, which were done in partnership with Jungsik. We ordered those along with the mushroom burger and asked them to cut the burger in half for us. The cocktail menu was creative and a little intimidating, with unconventional ingredients like cream cheese and green curry. I went with a fruity Hendrick's-based drink, and my friend ordered the spicy green curry martini. Both were good. Mine didn't taste very strong, but it also wasn't overly sweet because there was enough bitterness to balance it out. The green curry martini was more adventurous but still worked. Service was mixed. There was a woman standing near us, so we tried ordering food with her, but she seemed hesitant to come over. Maybe she wasn't a server or was newer. For drinks, she brought over someone more seasoned, who quickly helped guide us based on our preferred taste profiles. Her suggestions were very good. The mushroom burger was the highlight for me. It was a little salty, but the crispy mushroom and soft bun were a great combination. I honestly wished I had more than half. The wings were okay. They were crispy on the outside and juicy inside, but coated in a Dorito-like powder that made them very messy. Overall, it was a good experience, and I'd come back, especially for the mushroom burger.
