    Jst a fantastic evening. We had not been in so long. You easily fall into trap of thinking such places are indeed tourist traps. But this is the real deal: lovely decor, excellent food (and sizable portions), and attentive staff. And post dinner some wonderful jazz in the bar area. Cannot think of a better way to spend an anniversary in our own city!

    Phenomenal experience. The staff was so courteous and attentive, and were very kind in managing our requests. The ambiance was superb of course, the historical Plaza Hotel speaks for itself. The tea was delicious and the menu was filled with interesting and delicatessen items (food you won't likely find in other places). We were also pleasantly full despite the seemingly small samplers. Definitely a special experience. Also the decor for the holiday season is beautiful in an elegant want. Highly recommend seeing it for yourself.
