    A must do before they close. Ask for Porfirio as your server, he made the whole experience. A consumate professional, knowledgeable about the menu, champagne pairings & The Plaza, he made my daughter's birthday tea a wonderful experience.

    We had a wonderful lunch on a beautiful day overlooking the water in Central Park. Excellent food, beautifully presented, and excellent service from Christopher. A lovely place for a special lunch or dinner - quintessentially New York! I live here and still think it is one of the best New York experiences.
