Astor Court

Elegant tea room with outstanding service. This is what a tea room should strive to be. The food and tea were delicious. You could even get champagne with your tea - very nice champagne too! The tables were spread out so that each one was private. We overlooked the lobby entrance to the elevators and were able to watch as a very elaborate wedding party arrived for their reception which was rather entertaining. I left something on the table and the waiter caught up with us outside to be sure that I did not lose what I left. Impeccable service!

Afternoon tea was very relaxing. Maybe I got lucky but the place was not busy so the ambivalence was excellent for a tea sitting. Food was great and the pear green tea I had was wonderful. Loved the place and would recommend.

My daughter took my wife and me to Mother's Day Afternoon Tea at Astor Court with much enthusiasm. However, the experience there didn't exactly pan out the way we expected. They showed us to our table in the corner and it was nice. Unfortunately, we waited for nearly 20 minutes before somebody with a water pitcher showed up asking if we had been helped. Scones were good. We ordered our teas and they were very good. We each finished our cups but didn't get the refill until we asked. The time took between refills was very long. It would've been much better if they simply have given us pots, which they did at the end.
The food was okay. The sandwiches were delicious. The strawberries on the chocolates clearly showed that they have been left out for quite some time. Given the history of the establishment, which the server explained quite well, we were not impressed with the level of the service we received. With a birthday party going next to our table, we could hardly hear each other.
