Stunning view of Central Park. A great place to have a drink especially if you are trying to impress someone!

The setting and presentation were absolutely beautiful -- every detail of the environment and food felt elegant and thoughtfully done. Unfortunately, the service didn't match the experience I was hoping for. It felt rushed and a bit formulaic, which took away from what should have been a special afternoon tea experience. We often had to flag someone down just to order another drink, and at one point the server walked away before I had even finished my order, which resulted in it coming out incorrectly. I understand afternoon tea service may become routine for staff, but for guests, it's a unique occasion. I left feeling more like an inconvenience than a welcomed guest. That said, there were definitely highlights. The plain and ginger scones were outstanding -- buttery, flaky, and easily the star of the meal. The smoked pâté was delicious, and the salmon with roe was another standout. The truffle on the egg salad was a bit overpowering for my taste, though once I removed some of it, I enjoyed it much more. The cucumber sandwich was fine, but overall, several items landed in the "just okay" category for me. In the end, the food had some memorable moments, but the service had the biggest impact on my overall experience. read more

Came here for drinks after getting dinner at a nearby restaurant on a Sunday evening. This was the only rooftop bar still open around 9PM in the area. It is in the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, right past the front desk lobby on the 35th floor. The drinks were definitely sold at a premium, but were decent. Cocktails are on average about $30 per drink. Probably not worth it as it was either served in an 8 ounce glass or a drink served in majority ice. You are definitely sucked into the views of Central Park, Columbus Circle, and Billionaire's row, if you are able to get a seat right by the window. Service is decent, so not really any complaints there. They do provide a tray of snacks to munch on for what that's worth. read more

My sisters and I took my mother for her 80th birthday to day dinner here last night. She had been feeling fine the entire day and ate lunch without any GI issues. At MO Lounge, she had the prime burger. About 45 minutes after she started eating it, she had abdominal cramps and vomited twice in their restroom. The hostess kindly offered her a Sprite to help settle her stomach. No manager or supervisor came by to help. We rushed my mom to the nearby emergency room. Because of these symptoms; we had to miss the Yo Yo Ma concert. We spent the next six hours getting her fluids, scans, and labs and finally headed home at 2am. read more

I would like to share my disappointment regarding an issue with my payment after my recent afternoon tea visit. First, I would like to say that the afternoon tea experience itself was excellent. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere, the food, and especially the service from everyone. Everything was wonderful, and I was very happy with the experience. However, shortly after I left the hotel and continued with my day, I received a phone call informing me that there was an issue with my payment. This caused me considerable concern and made me feel uncomfortable for the rest of my day. Unfortunately, it completely took away from what had otherwise been a very enjoyable experience. I promptly provided proof of payment by email as requested, but I did not receive any response or confirmation afterward. At this point, I can still see that I have been charged twice: one transaction has already been posted, while the other transaction is still showing as pending. I find this particularly disappointing, especially from a five-star hotel. I would have expected the payment issue to be handled more promptly and professionally, with clear communication and follow-up after I provided the requested documentation. read more

I had an amazing calm experience here. All of the staff were so helpful, kind and attentive. The food was delicious. You can taste that nothing is rushed and all ingredients are great quality. I love the decor. Perfect setup, beautiful but not too much going on. The view does the talking. It was my birthday and I ordered dessert, only to find out at the end that it was on the house. So so kind. I'll be back in a few! read more

This review is for tea on a Tuesday afternoon. Head up to the 35th floor and you get an absolutely stunning view of Central Park. We were seated immediately for our 1 pm reservation right next to a window with the stunning view. Our waiter stopped by to tell us the oolong tea wasn't available and came back a few minutes later to take our order. He never came back after that except to drop off the check 1.5 hours later. The rest of the staff were accommodating, but no one checked on us. (We had to ask for more tap water.) On the one hand, I appreciate us having lots of time to enjoy the tea, but on the other hand, for $130 tea plus an 18% gratuity, I'd have liked the waiter to refill our tap water and/or our hot water for the tea, or even to check to see how we were doing. As far as the food itself - the sandwiches, desserts, and scones were some of the best I've had at teas in NYC. the sandwiches seemed hearty and they had an excellent array of desserts. Scones with the clotted cream and strawberry rhubarb jam definitely hit the spot and were a highlight. I think if the service was better, I'd be more inclined to come back, but was honestly a little shocked at the service at an establishment like this. I've never been to this hotel chain before... Because it's usually out of my price range, but me and the girls wanted to splurge. While the food and tea were not disappointing, the experience kind of was for the price. read more

I love visiting NYC during the holidays. After a morning at the Whitney with my friend L to see the Alvin Ailey exhibit, we ventured to Columbus Circle to have afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental. Part of the draw is the view from the MO Lounge located on the 35th floor overlooking Central Park. We perused the Columbus Circle Christmas market before heading to afternoon tea. Since it was Christmas, the hotel was fully decorated and there was a group of Christmas carolers in the lobby which is near the lounge. Definitely put us in the holiday spirit. After reviewing the cocktail list and selecting a tea, we had a lovely leisurely afternoon catching up. Afternoon tea of course involves scones with lemon curd and butter, tea sandwiches, and dainty desserts. For my tea, I selected Golden Lily Milk Oolong and L ordered Silver Tip Jasmine. We also ordered a few cocktails. The cocktails are really interesting and the cocktail menu is quite detailed. There is a chart divided into sections - Refreshing, Light, Rich and Boozy. The drinks are further segmented into the following categories: Wood, Fire, Earth and Metal. Let's just say we had a hard time figuring out what to order as all the cocktails sounded amazing. Before they take your order they also ask about allergies. L is allergic to mushroom so they provided her with a different kind of tea sandwich to replace the one with mushrooms. Afternoon tea is not meant to fill your tummy with a lot of food but I was surprisingly quite full after eating every single thing. It's the holidays - 'tis the season for eating. I highly recommend afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental. Be forewarned...it's definitely a splurge especially after you add a few cocktails to your bill. However, we knew going it it might be pricey so we were not surprised. And as I said before, we had a wonderful time with a great view of the park. read more

Overall: At the end of the day this is just an overpriced hotel restaurant. We went here for some drinks on a special occasion hoping for a fancy atmosphere with views of the park and skyline. They had an elaborate drink menu that gave us hope, but overall it ended up being a pretty average experience. Food: 3 Drinks: 2 Service: 3 Value: 1 Atmosphere: 2 Food: We ordered the cheese plate as a snack. It came with three types of cheese, bread, and other spreads. It was pretty good but all of the cheeses were very similar. I thought it could have hand more variety. Drinks: They had an elaborate menu that broke out drinks between different themes and then provided a mapping of different characteristics. None of the drinks stood out and seemed to go against the listed profiles. For how much they cost I expected more. Service: Service was pretty average. Our waiter was attentive and took our orders, but didn't add much else. Nothing good, nothing bad. Value: All of the prices are jacked up because it's in a fancy hotel. The drinks were $25-27 each and the cheese platter was $35. Atmosphere: Unless you're right by the window (larger tables only) you don't really get any of the advertised view. In fact, the only thing you could really see was a glowing Nordstrom billboard. Aside from that, we were hoping for an elevated experience. Instead, this seems to just be the convenient place for families staying at the hotel to grab a bite to eat, meaning there's children running all over. Not exactly fancy cocktail lounge vibes. read more

I had to use my dining credit that I received as a perk, so even though I was out for a meal earlier, I figured I might be able to get something to go. Service from the host was very friendly/helpful; he was consistent on checking up on my order, and was just 'on' which I appreciated. For this order, I had the club sandwich (turkey, tomato relish, bacon, lettuce, lemon basil aioli on ciabatta) with chips at $35, and a random side of mashed potatoes, $18. This took about 15 minutes and when I received my order, everything was wrapped appropriately. This was just okay; the tomato relish was almost similar to pizza sauce that was just spread onto the sandwich; a sliced tomato would have worked much better. Bacon wasn't crispy, but that is my personal preference. The bread option being ciabatta didn't work for this type of sandwich (someone else posted their version from years ago that looked much better). I did opt for the aioli on the side and I'm glad I did; dipping the chips into this and even adding some into the mashed potatoes was a good idea. Didn't even finish the other half of the sandwich and although I would have loved to have gone out and given this away, I also knew that in this part of town, I wasn't going to find anyone with such a need. There is a service charge on every order even though I didn't eat on the premises nor did I have it delivered which is frustrating, and this adds an additional nearly $10 extra due to that and tax. They do have a great location right off the check-in area/lobby and of course the view is coveted, but so much more could be done here. Perhaps their tea and other dishes measure up, and maybe I didn't get it right this time. read more

A nice, upscale cocktail bar on the 35th floor of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel. Service was friendly and professional throughout. We stopped by for a cocktail on a Friday night to connect with a friend, and this was a good spot to do so. It wasn't too noisy inside, so we were able to hold a conversation and not have to strain to hear one another. A nice and intimate environment, it's perfect for a date night. The Jardin Gotham cocktail was delicious, had lemon and honey notes but not overly so, and the Prosecco made it bubbly and bright. read more

We did the afternoon tea here for our anniversary. 1 star only for the view and decent spread of pastries and sandwiches. -4 stars for the service. When you are spending $170 per person for afternoon tea (tax and fee included) you expect the following at a minimum: 1. Your anniversary to be acknowledged 2. The waiter to walk you through the tea options and menu with some level of enthusiasm 3. Your tea to be poured and refilled as needed None of the above 3 were met which is mind blowing. Service here is like you're at a diner at midnight. This place needs to step up. read more

Dropped by for tea; Saturday, 12:30, amazing time to settle in - still quiet. Seated in the corner with a great view overlooking Columbus Circle despite the clouds and intermittent drizzle. Platter was a perfect balance of sweet, savory and neutral bites. My favorites for each were: The Bee (Golden honey, Medovick cake, caramelized mousse), the smoked salmon sandwich and the ginger scone paired with rose petal jam, respectively. I like that staff are readily available to assist but never feel like they're hovering. read more

Ordered: Sakura Season Cocktail (~$25): Haku vodka, cherry blossom sake, lychee Complimentary Snacks: rice crackers, wasabi-coated green peas, and olives Aya's take: We were in the area looking to grab a quick drink and decided on the MO Lounge. Super classy, sophisticated, and discreet. Perfect spot for date night drinks, a lowkey conversation, or just to unwind with a view. Their cocktail menu is based on the Five Elements in ancient Chinese philosophy (wood, fire, earth, metal, water). Each element has a certain color, flavor, and energy to it translating into this curated cocktail menu. They even have a chart that tells you where a certain cocktail falls on the spectrum of refreshing vs. boozy and light vs. rich. The Sakura Season, under the Wood element, was described as floral, botanical, and clean. I would also add 3 more words - sweet, delicate, and luscious. It was easy to sip on, tasted delicious, and was overall quite refreshing. My only complaint would be it's such a small volume compared to the glass it's in and the price point. The Complimentary Snacks, attention to tiny details (you get a cloth instead of a napkin for your drink), and the service all made this an even more enjoyable experience. Highly recommend! read more

Great view, great ambiance (fresh orchid at each table), elegant decors, amazing location, OK food (really overpriced), OK service (considering it's part of Mandarin Oriental). Some dishes are misleadingly named really. For example, how can they call it a steak when it's really Chinese-style stir-fry sliced beef? No wonder they didn't ask how the guest liked their steak cooked. Food presentation had a wow factor but taste wise, sadly, there's nothing to write home about, especially considering how many top Asian restaurants there are in the Big Apple. Their sea bass was tender and fresh, and the sauce presentation at the table of course was very nice. But too simple (literally just the bass, a few leaves of bok choy, and rice!). Tiny portion even for girls. There's a mocktail that's really just hot tea. It's served warm. It's basically honey lemon tea. But nicely presented. Very limited (small) menu -- all Asian inspired. The view would be what you come here for, day or night. Direct view on Columbus Circle and the Central Park. Stunning even when it rains. read more

MO Lounge is one of those great Manhattan spots for a power vantage point view, overlooking Columbus Circle, Central Park South and the southern portion of Central Park. Adjacent to the Mandarin Oriental Hotel's 35th floor Lobby, this stylish venue offers well crafted cocktails and more. It was the perfect spot for us. After a 2 week visit, my departing old friend had 35 minutes for a quick single drink in the evening before heading to Carnegie Hall for a concert. Wanted a new experience for him that captured something uniquely New York to end his trip. Called ahead to request a table adjacent to the window to ensure one would be available. The tables in our section all had seats with access to lounge's view. Because of the room structure, background conversations slightly drowned out our voices at first, but that resolved itself and, of course, the real draw is that amazing view. Service was friendly and swift. My Manhattan made with bourbon was so smooth. My friend enjoyed "A Walk in The Park," their variety of a Hendricks Gin & Tonic, adding Botanicals, Cucumber and Elderflower. The thin slice of cucumber lined the inside of his glass. His daughter was served a healthy-sized glass of white wine. Next time, I might try their Yuzumi Pear cocktail with Toki Whiskey, Yuzu, Pear and Ginger Beer. Be aware - They automatically add an 18% "Service Fee" on the bill, which is "distributed towards the staff," so you may not feel the need to include an additional tip. read more

Wow - what an experience! I was unfamiliar with Mandarin Oriental Lounge before I visited and anytime I've shared that I visited, I've been met with oooh's and aaah's! I imagine it's a lovely stay, but this review is solely for après dinner drinks. Located in the iconic Circle area and overviewing Central Park and the Manhattan skyline, the MO lounge is gorgeously designed with clean, curvy lines and ornamental fabrics and patterns. When we stepped off the elevator, we were immediately ushered in as a party of 5 and immediately seated at a table by the windows. Looking back, I think it was quite late and close to closing, so much thanks to the staff that obliged us. There was ample seating. A few of us ordered wines, another a cocktail, one an Irish coffee, myself a cocktail: Walk in the Park ($26), 5/5 - gin, tonic, botanicals, cucumber, elderflower - this was elegant and delicious, very light, floral, and refreshing thanks to the cucumber! Take a look at my photos for the gorgeous presentation. You are provided with salty, Asian-inspired crunchy snacks such as wasabi peas, and more, complimentary with your drinks. A special thank you to staff - our server informed us there were fireworks visible outside in a separate room, overlooking Central Park. That was so kind of our server and such a nice touch! I believe there was a film event in the Park, hence the fireworks. Thank you Mandarin Oriental! If I return to NYC, I will certainly come back. read more

MO lounge is pure class. Beautiful view of Central Park. Loved the wine list and caviar. Have dinner or even high tea and still be satisfied. Diverse crowd, old money mixed with hotel guest families, as well as the occasional group of over makeup-ed plastic looking single ladies who are looking for rich men. Regardless, if you want an enclosed view of Central Park and a diverse menu, this is your place. Best Sancerre I've ever had. read more

TL:DR: Very poor service for a $300+ price tag for two My sister and I indicated that we can't eat pork in our reservation. The first question the waitress asks us is, "It says you can't eat pork, but is pork gelatin ok?" Apparently all of their cakes have pork except for the cheesecake. They have a vegan afternoon tea menu so they were able to swap our cakes for the vegan ones, but the waitress seemed to be panicking or stressed about not being able to accommodate us. When she eventually came with our afternoon tea tray, she slammed it on the table. The desserts they swapped the cakes out for were plain chocolate chip cookies, freezer burned mochi ice cream, and a single chocolate covered strawberry each - but the price tag stayed the same. The sandwiches were fine, but comparable to afternoon teas I've had for half the price. Yea was fine, if weak. The scones and the rose petal jelly were the highlight. Overall, the hotel staff are friendly and lovely, but the MO Lounge staff seem stressed, unhappy, and unfriendly. read more

Quiet and quaint lounge with the most breath taking views of Columbus circle and Central Park. I was here in the fall time and the cocktail menu fit the fall scene perfectly. The espresso martini came with a cute fake leaf attached and the Smokin Hot Toddy was delicious! I was not expecting the Hot Toddy to be as refreshing as it was. Highly recommend, especially if you are settling back after a long day of exploring the city. Service was also great. Our waitress was excellent and when she left during shift change, the waiter picked right back up where she left off. I was very pleased with the service here. Overall, highly recommend grabbing a drink to scope out the views. While the drinks are pricey, the views are worth it. One thing to note - - if you are not staying at the hotel, you can't get the window seats. No fear though, the views are amazing from anywhere you are sitting and you can always walk up to the window and snag a picture :-) read more

Came here for high tea on a weekday. We had a reservation and were seated by the window, however, it was very sunny, so we had to scoot back a few rows. The view was still stunning. I tried the Rudd Barrel Cabernet Tea, and it had a nice balanced flavor. The sandwiches, scones, and desserts were presented beautifully. My fave sandwich was the truffled egg salad. The lobster and caviar roll was also yum. The jams and jellies that came with the scones were very nice. My fave dessert was the autumn leaf - so decadent yet the sweetness was not over-powering. At $125, this is on the steeper side for high tea, but I think it's worth the experience! read more

Came here for drinks one Sunday night. The amount of liquid in my negroni was kind of a joke. The waitress came by once after the drinks came to confirm everything was good and then was never again to be found for a water refill after my party decided not to order another round (why would I given the heinous pour of my first drink). I wasn't surprise when I saw the tip was already included in the bill at the end. read more

Be careful if you're looking for a late dinner I arrived post-The Outsiders at 10pm on a Friday night. I put my name on the waiting list. I was seated at 10:35 pm; my server informed me that the kitchen was closed. It's a lovely space -- but an oddity: I was told that they closed their bar during COVID and have yet to reopen it. (It's December, 2024.) So the MO Lounge has no actual bar. read more

An excellent tea service with excellent views! And the service was impeccable. Especially my server John!

I was very excited to try this space out after my travel agent recommended the hotel to me during a recent visit to NYC. I googled it and this place is elegant and beautiful with an excellent view and location. So this time around, I made sure to book this for dinner with my fiancee. We arrived promptly and checked in just in time for our reservation. Fortunately a table by the window with a gorgeous view of Central Park opened up and this is where we were seated. It's the hotel bar lounge so it's not like a fine dining establishment but they do have a small menu of food items and the view is what you really come for. Our service started out a bit rough as we asked some menu questions and it seemed our server didn't want to respond or tell us... My fiancee asked if there was a whiskey menu and the server simply said, "We have everything you could want". My fiancee said "OK, so what are the prices?" The server didn't want to answer that and said he didn't have them and walked away to get our waters. Around this exact moment the man seated in front of us began cussing the same server out and asked for a manager because he said he was not going to pay these ridiculous prices for three drinks, started talking very loudly about how it was bulls*** and slamming things around. Eventually, he was whisked away while I googled the drink menu that they DO have posted online. It's expensive... think like $24 for a shot of bourbon. My fiancee decided he'd drink elsewhere. We started our meal with the house chips which I love everywhere I go and these were very salty and spicy. Like a salt and vinegar with a ranch dipping sauce. Decent portion size for the price ($15) but perhaps had a bit too much seasoning on them... We browsed for a while and considered going somewhere else before we determined we would split the Egg Noodle Soup which the server raved about and told us was an excellent choice after we ordered it. It's $36 and has chicken and shrimp wontons, a Char Siu Pork Poached Egg, shiitake mushrooms, and bok choy. They split it for us in the kitchen and it was huge because it was entree sized for us both still in large bowls. This was enough for us so we had fresh coffee with cream and sugar and enjoyed the views a bit longer before we left. Service was efficient. I'd say this is a fun spot to come and have a snack and enjoy the view, but if you plan to drink, you better look up the prices beforehand because 2-3 will run you $100+ quickly! read more

This is a review for afternoon tea. The food was very good, and because of that, I feel bad for the chefs. The lower rating is because of the service and atmosphere. Our food was dropped off, and we were not checked on one time after that happened. It was also difficult to flag people down to help when we needed it. There was also a moderately high amount of service noise coming into the dining room--clanking plates, dishes, things being cleaned. Two things that surprised me is that they have a glass wall between the dining room and the service bar--not an actual wall (why not an actual wall?). They also actively vacuumed (like with a Dyson) after each guest left--I have never been to nice tea where they break out a vacuum in the middle of service--it destroys the atmosphere. We asked for the check, then waited over 20 minutes to receive it--my husband had to remind them because they forgot. Do no go here for a nice tea experience. read more

One of the best rooftop bars in New York. We love how close it is to Central Park, making the view very pleasant, and the lack of crowd or waiting line that I usually found there, makes it better - you are often able to just drop by if you're in the area! The staff is very lovely and always takes care of the customer as best as they can - including taking allergies seriously into account, giving out blankets, and staying longer to get to know the customer. We celebrated my namesday there with some friends a while back and it was a great decision. The drinks are delicious - although quite pricey, even for the standard of the location, but their salmon is really what I remember to be my favorite. Appetizers are nice and large - ideal to split with a friend/partner. read more

So I honestly didn't have high expectations and figured the view was going to be the best part and I was right. The service was also great. The view is great (probably will be better in warmer months). The drink was good. The food was alright. The potatoes dauphine were terrible!!! Do not get them!! I really enjoyed the crispy chicken sandwich and fries but the chicken club was pretty standard (although the chips with it were great). Despite all that, it definitely isn't worth the price. At the end of the day, you're paying for the view. Probably should just eat somewhere else and come for a nice pricey drink. read more

My brother took me out for my birthday, General Manager Sam and the entire staff made my birthday experience sublime! The ambiance was swanky, elegant and mellow. Furthermore, the lounge located on 35th floor had the most incredible and panoramic views of Central Park and Columbus Circle. My personal favorite touch were the fresh orchids on each table. We had champagne to start the celebration! Afterwards, we started with two cocktails suggested by the amazingly friendly server. Also, the food was superb! Additionally, for our appetizers, we had the octopus carpaccio, the roasted red pepper hummus with warm char-grilled pita bread and the fresh burrata salad with arugula. Next, for our entrees we enjoyed the Wonton Soup and the hangar steak. All cooked to perfection! To finish off the night, we had a personalized cake just for me (my birthday). All in all, staff made us feel so welcomed from the moment we walked in til the moment we left. I have never felt more grateful for an incredibly memorable birthday experience! Thank you to the entire FOH and BOH staff for going up and beyond to make me feel the love! Would definitely be back soon! read more
