    Phenomenal experience. The staff was so courteous and attentive, and were very kind in managing our requests. The ambiance was superb of course, the historical Plaza Hotel speaks for itself. The tea was delicious and the menu was filled with interesting and delicatessen items (food you won't likely find in other places). We were also pleasantly full despite the seemingly small samplers. Definitely a special experience. Also the decor for the holiday season is beautiful in an elegant want. Highly recommend seeing it for yourself.

A few minutes after I was told that a man sitting 2 tables down was served the burger. Not sure why that happened. I later seen the post okay. instagram. I been wanting to go to hawksmoor for some time Now to try the burger. But they did not make it for me. Overall eveything else was amazing.

    We were going to Radio city Music hall for the Christmas Show and needed a restaurant near bye. I chose Del Frisco’s Steakhouse because of the good ratings and convenience. We were so happy with the delicious food, great service, and its ambience. We had a great time and enjoyed ourselves. We were a party of 9 and everyone was happy with my choice.
