    This is not like the Peninsula in Hong Kong if that's what you're thinking. Think Howard Johnson or the Ramada Inn, because this place is so obsolete lol. The staff aren't very attentive or professional. The room smelled like horse doo doo. And worst of all, the food was so so bad. Just look at the photo below of the pastries. Our price for two people? - $220 with gratuity LOL Verdict: read above.

    Reservations for afternoon tea aren't necessary, but don't hurt. Gets pretty busy around 4pm on Saturdays. The dishware was by far the cutest part of the experience. Plus nice plush chairs and couches, which aren't the best for eating, but make for a much more relaxed feel for afternoon tea than perhaps other spots. The spread was decent for $80++. We were definitely full afterwards. They make sure to serve one of everything per person in your party, plus a decadent piece from La Madison du Chocolat for a closer. I just wish there were more savory, such as tea sandwiches. Teas were great! Exactly as described on the menu. Chocolate - A Bai mu dan - A- Lapsang souchong - A-

    Afternoon Tea at the Gotham Lounge is exactly what you want - a beautiful not-to-big room, comfy seating, exquisite Wedgwood china, savory and sweet bites of highest quality, amazing assortment of teas (try Garden of Dreams), and perfect service - formal yet warm. Not inexpensive yet worth every penny. Best I've ever had and really, you will be so happy!

    Small place, but very fancy . I could say this place is overpriced. For 2 people they will charge you $300.00 including tips . For this kind of money they should give more food . But it's great experience. You need to try once.

    Nice bar snacks , fantastic cocktails !

    Yea , we really liked this lounge . Gorgeous. Service is delightful & gracious forward hospitality. The complimentary snacks were perfect, unfortunately we were not hungry , snacks work w libations , we did nibble a bit & so yummy . Rosemary almonds , variety of wonderful olives & nice blocks of cheese . What's not to like about that . I had a Don Julio hand-shaken margarita , oh man , it was so tasty . I mean really , really refreshing & delicious , companion had a spec lychee cocktail , also Delicious. This hotel has two bars , I think the other is rooftop . We usually have a drink upstairs at The Plaza , but all three Lounges / bars were so busy , we decided to try this beautiful hotels bar. I do recommend it . Also , most people in this room were enjoying tea . And it looked so cool and colorful . All the tea pots were different patterns , looked a lot like a Sofia Coppola movie ( Marie Antoinette) The tables all looked editorial . Like magazine shots . We normally would of been all bummed to not partake in afternoon tea , but no appetite and all about the cocktail . If up town , and feel like Afternoon tea , or cocktails and snacks , check out Gotham !! Def worth it .

    Although this bar does not quite have the nostalgia like the King Cole or Oakroom, this bar is very pleasant. The best thing about this place is that the bartenders are very friendly and eager to help you out in every way. The serve some of the best drinks. Yes, it is expensive, but you don't come to a place like this looking for Happy Hour specials! Oh, and their snack tray is amazing! Trio of olives, mixed nuts and cheese curds. Very yummy and if you like to really munch, go ahead, they will give you more! My favorite drink here is the Side Car. I really love the way they present it here. Luckily, all of my favorite "must try bars" are all within a few blocks of each other.

    ************* REVIEW 201 **************** 1 of the best address on 5th Avenue, the Peninsula! & every thing located inside this hotel, the Gotham Bar. On your right, second floor, this bar has the best Keylime Martini in town. Served with a snack the moment you sit down, nuts, olives, & cheese, so yummy. Plenty of room between tables & did I mention the afternoon high tea? Blackberry sconces, apricot jam, & mini sandwich that fill you up so quickly! I love the bartenders here, they are the best & extremely polite. 1 of the reason why I love staying here!

    The afternoon tea is just okay, the dessert here is not very special and the cake was too sweet.

    The service here is flawless and it is a small and relaxed venue. I actually prefer this over Salon de Ning on the rooftop as the service and food quality is better here. They also offer afternoon tea service - if I recall there are two versions, with the difference being champagne. Between the Peninsula, the London, and the Four Seasons, I think afternoon tea service here is the best. We have also had drinks, desserts, and food here multiple times and I have to say that the food is "ok", nothing spectacular. The drinks and dessert however are great - the cheesecake here is absolutely superb. We've come to know the staff here well and they really hook you up and take care of you.

    Paradise Lost is a speakeasy tiki bar located on 2nd Ave in the East Village. A friend & I went…read morethere after having dinner at Spicy Moon a few blocks away. We wanted to have after-dinner cocktails in a chill space, so we searched on our phones & saw Paradise Lost address via Google. We proceeded to walk down & was unable to find the establishment due to their being no front sign. After walking back & forth a few times, we saw another group walking towards the door & they confirmed the place. We walked inside the front door pressed a "doorbell" & lo & behold we gained entry after the previous group went inside. Definitely an incognito entrance. Once inside that door there is someone to greet you, & take your information. There is a forest/ grass/ jungle-looking foyer/ hallway we walked down to get to the next door. Before we knew it, we were near the "Paradise Lost No Vacancy" neon sign w/ an arrow pointing towards the snake-shaped knob door. It gets opened & a supercool speakeasy awaits.... Paradise Lost has mixed style table / seating arrangements throughout the place. A bar seating section, booth-style seating area, lounge- style seating area, etc. We got there a little after 7pm, so the afterwork crowd was in full swing. Paradise Lost has interesting atmosphere. At times a Gothic / Medieval Vibe, meets place w/ shipwreck decor, meets eleganct /club vibe w/ beautiful ceiling lighting, etc. Music played in the background. Staff are friendly, energetic, & attentive. We were pleasantly overwhelmed w/ the vast selection of tiki cocktails that were on the menu. Paradise Lost also have an intimate selection of snacks/ food menu items. This included Popcorn, Tater Tots, Devilled Eggs Rangoon Dip, etc. We ordered some cocktails served in unique tiki mugs & a bucket of popcorn to munch on w/ our drinks. The popcorn is flavored w/ Sea Buckthorn & Browm Butter, which gave it an special flavor profile. Our cocktails were well-prepared & nice & strong. Paradise Lost has individual unisex bathroom stalls & a communal vanity & sink area. The bathroom stalls have spooky voices coming from a speaker as you use the bathroom. I was so humorously taken aback, it had me laughing when I came out...Definitely a different thing to experience in the bathroom - lol. Before we left we watched one of the bartenders do a cocktail "fire" presentation for some patrons in a booth seated area. Wow.... Paradise Lost accepts walk-ins only, no reservations. Paradise Lost accepts groups of 8 or less, unless you are requesting to book the space for a private event. Ages 21+ paradiselost.nyc @paradiselostnyc Paradise Lost is open everyday - 5pm-2am.

The drinks were very interesting and creative. The seawater martini I will say was a bit too strange for my taste but I still thought it was good. Service was very good as well. Would definitely recommend to visit if you like gothic stuff and tiki bars.

Dim lighting, plush seating, rich wood + wallpaper details, and that lounge-library vibe make the place feel like a secret hideout right in the middle of Midtown. It's moody, cozy, and effortlessly intimate -- perfect for a date night, a chill catch-up, or just a night out with good drinks. Nice service, too! However: be ready for the price tag. The cocktails are absolutely beautiful -- well crafted, creative, and flavorful -- but each one will remind you that you're not exactly paying dive-bar prices. It's worthwhile, but the "overpriced drinks" vibe absolutely hits. That said: the interior design and ambience are amazing. The mix of antique-meets-modern decor, low lighting, and comfy couches gives you that classic speakeasy romance. If you appreciate aesthetics and vibe over cheap drinks -- this is your spot. If you want a night out that feels deliberate and special rather than casual and cheap -- Osamil Upstairs delivers.

My husband had indicated it was our birthdays so they provided a cute birthday card and made sure to wish us Happy Birthday when we checked in. Due to some unforseen circumstances (on our part being First time visitors not understanding NY traffic) we were short on time and they were still able to accommodate us! We were looking forward to do one their prix fix menus but had to cut our time shorter. We had the shrimp cocktail, would recommend and also really loved the serving coupe it came in! Fried artichokes that were mid at best and saved by the sauce it comes with. To save time we split the steak frites, I would recommend, though bot as tender as I normally like, I appreciate the serving and flavorful bites. The drinks are amazing and we love how they're all accompanied by a story! I had the heir to empire and our lovely waitress asked for my favorite color and when the drink arrives, it came with a little coaster in purple! And it was strong without it being overwhelming. For the remaining of dinner, I had a red wine and it was a perfect choice for the meal. Our trip to New York was too short because we wished we had been able to go back and check out their live performances. The vibe if the place was moody and inviting and we wished we could have gone back! We loved the Broadway homage throughout without being tacky.
