"We made a reservation for high tea. While we were waiting for our table to be ready, this lady projectile vomits in the middle of the restaurant. It is by no means the restaurant’s fault but we were so disgusted that it killed our appetite. If this was some all you can drink spot, I would not be as shocked but in a place like Bergdorfs, this is u expected. The vomit almost touches my coat, luckily it did not get on me. The food was delicious especially the scones. Our waiter was very accommodating, someone in our party had food allergies and he made sure to separate her food and replaced some items with others. Overall it was a lovely expensive minus the vomiting!"

"Had champagne tea. Service was amazing. Beautiful view of Central Park. The scones with jams and creams were delicious. The open sandwiches were also delicious. The bread on the closed sandwiches were on the dry side and felt like they had sat out for a while. Overall an enjoyable experience."

"The Gotham Salad is huge, fresh and delicious. I honestly couldn't eat anything much after. I did have some wonderful sorbet with berries and I think a coffee. The only reason I am giving a four is because I found my server to be very anxious, not rude but definitely hadn't mastered the art of quiet confidence. A confident server makes a big positive difference."

"Do not waste your time trying to get high tea at The Blue box across the street. This IS the place to have it. Professional service, attentive staff and scrumptious fare, from the amuse bouches (two of them topped with caviar) well assorted sandwiches, and on the sweet side the scone with clotted cream had nothing to envy to their British counterparts. The only reason I awarded four stars is because the serve ware (my striped porcelain dish) looked a little worse for wear: the gold striped had lost their sparkle and the white center had dark greenish stains probably from repeated washings. Elegant surroundings, lovely views of Central park and an impecable waiter (Ken)."

"This was my first afternoon tea experience and I loved it! The food was amazing, I especially loved the homemade scones ✨, and the view of Central Park was also so beautiful!! I want to go back for lunch or dinner because everything looked amazing!"
