🤮 1/5 - Horrible Afternoon Tea Service - Go to the Plaza Hotel instead

This is a review of the Baccarat Hotel Afternoon Tea Service at the Grand Salon. I write this review in comparison to the Afternoon Tea Service at the Plaza Hotel in NY that we went to a few weeks ago. The Baccarat Hotel afternoon tea service is not only much worse than the afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel, but is also quite atrocious and not worth the expense such that I would absolutely suggest going to the Plaza Hotel instead. Firstly, they bring everything out on a three tiered tray together (whereas the Plaza Hotel brings out the scones and sandwiches/second course first and then desserts separately). They don't change out the plates such that you are expected to eat the mini sandwiches on the same plate where you have some jam perhaps and crumbs from the scones, and then you are expected to eat the dessert on the same plate as the second course and the scones! We had to flag down a waiter and ask for new plates. The scones and jam were decent. One of the sandwiches was simply a ham and cheese with no flavor. The chocolate cake on the vegan menu was absolutely atrocious: it was dry and crumbly with muted flavor; it was inedible. The fruit puree on the vegan dessert plate was not tasty at all, and the cashew cream dessert has a really off flavor such that it too was not tasty at all. The vegan pastry chef has no talent at the Baccarat Hotel. By contrast, the vegan desserts at the Plaza Hotel afternoon tea were so delicious and decadent, you would never even know they are vegan! The non-vegan, regular desserts at the Baccarat Hotel afternoon tea service were not very good either. One was a dried up pink cookie of sorts that was on the crispy side. It didn't taste good. The jello looking mouse wasn't very good--we've had much better at fine restaurants. It was nothing special. Any French patisserie in the city would have tastier, better desserts. Lastly, the service was not very attentive. The waiters barely came by. No one asked if we needed anything or how we are doing. The waiter basically dropped off the three tier afternoon tea tray and disappeared. When we sat down, we got our tea first and then waited another 10-15 minutes for them to bring the food tray such that our tea had cooled by the time the scones, sandwiches, etc., and desserts arrived all together! The lobby area where the tea is served is beautiful, but the level of service and quality of the afternoon tea items do not warrant the price, and the experience is not so enjoyable at the Baccarat Hotel afternoon tea. By contrast, at the Plaza Hotel the service and quality of the afternoon tea food items is divine both on the regular and vegan menu, making the experience delightful and worth every penny and then some. In short, if you want an afternoon tea experience, do you not go to the Baccarat Hotel. I highly recommend the Plaza Hotel (or anywhere else) instead.
