Equally delightful was the rigatoni Bolognese. The pasta was al dente and generously coated in a rich, savory sauce that was both comforting and indulgent.
To complement the meal, I indulged in a stunning cocktail featuring Hendrick’s gin, lemon, lavender, and red burgundy. The cocktail was as beautiful as it was delicious, with floral notes mingling perfectly with the gin, offering a refreshing sip that transported me to a tranquil garden.
A truly special moment was being invited to write in the restaurant’s guest book. This personal touch made me feel valued, as not everyone is selected for this unique opportunity. It’s a lovely way to remember the experience and share thoughts with future diners.
Overall, Baccarat Restaurant is a gem that offers a magnificent culinary journey. I left with a full heart and a happy palate, eagerly anticipating my next visit!
We started off with the Lime and Ricotta Pancake and the Baccarat Omelette along with two small pots of tea (Queen’s Guard and Golden Glow). The Pancake was perfect cooked – slightly crisp on the outside and extremely soft and fluffy on the inside. The Omelette was delicious amd well plated, even though the portion size was a bit small (add 1-2 more eggs!). We then had the Hojicha tea and the Silver Needle, both of which were excellent. The almond croissant was a bit small and had a fusion of flavors (it had chocolate and some essence that we couldn’t pin down).
Nonetheless, the experience was memorable and makes for a nice, romantic brunch.
While the service itself was good and the selection was pleasant, a significant quality issue overshadowed the experience. I found a large piece of paper baked into my scone which is unacceptable for an establishment of Baccarat’s caliber. Given the price point I have experienced far superior high tea offerings at other hotels.
We waited approximately 30 minutes for 2 of us to be seated at the bar on a Saturday evening at around 6 pm(not a complaint from us, just an explanation of what to expect).
Once seated, we were treated to Parmesan crisps and olives. We loved the drinks and sipping them from the crystal is such an opulent feeling. We camped out there for a while and the bartenders were very attentive, so it never felt like an overwhelmingly busy Saturday night.
The bar is truly stunning and I’d recommend this spot for maybe a drink but it adds up quickly.
My only gripe is the fact that the drinks are pricey, 32-54 USD per specialty cocktail.
I understand that it’s a beautiful hotel and bar in NYC, but I found that to be excessive.
Long story short, the bar is a worthwhile stop for out of towners to at least experience once….but once is plenty.
We did afternoon tea last year in the salon and we’d repeat THAT instead.
The setting – you enter into a dark entryway on street level and our ushered towards elevators that take you up to the grand salon. Upon exiting the elevator, bright light, crystal chandeliers, red & gold colors greet you. Of note as you leave the grand salon to go to the bathroom you are once again in very dark hallways, which can be challenging to find your way to the bathroom. Tables were set with couches or chairs arranged in cozy close quarters.
The food – we chose the Prince of Wales option and added a glass of champagne to sip along with our tea. The beauty of a tea services you can take one hour, two hours even up to three hours to enjoy the experience. Unfortunately the tea doesn’t stay warm in their tea pots during the 2 hours which is surprising as my tea at home does stay warm. Overall the food was a solid offering for a tea service but didn’t blow me away. We were celebrating my mother’s birthday and they did acknowledge that with a small plate with some additional macarons. Unfortunately those macarons were not fresh.
The service – initially attentive and then lacking. There was no attention to refill glasses of drinks or attention. When it came time to pay the bill I had to track someone down. And then that took much longer than it should to pay the bill.
Overall – solid offering however for the price there are better tea options in NYC.
The food and drinks matched the setting perfectly. I loved the elegant tea service — the teapot presentation was beautiful and added to the overall charm of the experience. The bronzino was delicate and perfectly cooked, full of flavor without being overly heavy. The burger was equally excellent, juicy and satisfying, with just the right accompaniments. For sides, I tried the okra and eggplant, both of which were thoughtfully prepared and flavorful — a nice touch that elevated the meal beyond the usual.
Service was top-notch. The staff were attentive and professional, making the evening flow seamlessly while keeping the atmosphere relaxed. Every detail, from the way dishes were presented to the pacing of the meal, showed the high level of care that defines the Baccarat experience.
Overall, the Grand Salon is more than just a restaurant — it’s an experience. With its stunning setting, excellent food, and flawless service, it’s a place I’d recommend to anyone looking for a memorable, high-class evening in the city.
The Afternoon Tea itself was delightful: perfectly brewed tea served in gorgeous china, delicate finger sandwiches, warm scones with jam and cream, and exquisite pastries that were as stunning to look at as they were to taste. The staff were attentive without being intrusive, making the whole experience feel calm and special.
If you’re looking for a place in the city that feels both glamorous and relaxing, Baccarat is absolutely worth it especially for Afternoon Tea. It’s the kind of place where you want to linger and enjoy every detail.
