OK – I get that this place is in the St. Regis, but even taking that factor into consideration, this place is just too egregiously overpriced. $9 cappuccino? $14 orange juice? Seriously? Did unicorns, leprechauns, and other mythical creatures prepare the food? I really did not care as it was a business meeting and this was not out of my pocket, but as a matter of general principle, the prices were just offensive.
And it was not like as if the food was so memorable that I must eat here every day. Here is the problem – even if you have money to burn and can afford to eat here every day, you can probably buy better for the same price. And if you could not afford to eat here every day, then there is no reason to come here for that special occasion you're looking to splurge on because there are better places to go.
So on that basis, I can really think of no other redeeming reason to go here…Pass.
I had afternoon tea here this past Sunday and they've really changed. Though the experience was great, drinking tea with friends and great staff, they've gone downhill as far as afternoon tea goes.
I ordered the Chinese Flower tea because I wanted something with a floral aroma. The tea was bitter and I've had better. Also, they didn't have the regular and brown sugar cubes which is a must when I have afternoon tea. We each got four pieces of finger sandwiches which I thought was a bit pricey. I didn't think it tasted great either but it was too little. I asked if we're allowed to ask for more sandwiches and our waiter gave us 2 extra plates (that's 8 finger sandwiches on the house); I can't say enough about the staff, they were really attentive. The scones weren't that great; again, I've had better for a far much cheaper price. I think they had all these short cakes and dessert goodies but nothing dazzled me. It was just okay. My friends and I agreed that we'll go try afternoon tea at the Plaza next.
It's a shame really, because before, they gave you as many finger sandwiches as you wanted but they've sacrificed that in order to become more trendy. Thumbs down for food but, again, great service.
Really Expensive Meal here including the $14 Orange Juice. However, dining at Astor court is an one-of-a-kind experience.
The atmosphere for this place is truly an old world elegance. From real floral decoration, chandeliers, to china and silverware that they use are all top of the line.
I was here few days in a row to grab breakfasts and I did enjoy my meal here and I am surprised there are so little reviews of this place. Their egg dishes area really good. From the standard scramble egg/over easy egg to the fancy Poached egg with American caviar. I also liked their bread baskets , steak and eggs, and fruit platters. This is much finer dining experience in comparison to other hotel breakfast, and they will make things for you even if its not on the menu.
However, their breakfast items are rather limited. I wish they can offer more variety in their breakfast items.
