    I came here for my sister’s 30th Birthday. I booked in advance and found a groupon (through other recommended reviews). I called in advance to confirm two vegetarian afternoon tea sets. They request at least 24 hours in advance for dietary requirements. One star down for poor low average sandwiches. The bread was not good and the cream cheese cucumber sandwiches were skimp. Ive been to many afternoon tea and I think this place could do a lot better if the sandwiches were fresh. The hosts were lovely and bathrooms were in the lounge area which is convenient. Bathrooms were super clean. The servers did a poor job on pre-busing which is important with small tables like that. Tea was good.

    We had such a wonderful experience having high tea at The Pierre / Two E Bar that we returned for a second time! A beautifully delicious high tea, with friendly and attentive staff, in a beautiful hotel. The staff were so helpful even when we made certain dietary requests, and the selection of treats were all delicious!Don’t even bother with other high teas in the area like we did (The Plaza) as they just don’t even compare with our afternoon tea at The Pierre!A much better experience, and one that we can’t stop talking about!

    Great place to relax and have an awsome afternoon tea. The mini sandwiches were my favorite! The desserts at the bottom tray were a bit too sweet for me tho. If youre using Groupon, make sure you have it open before you get here, cell phone data and signal here is really bad.

    This bar in the Pierre hotel was a welcome stop on our Manhattan weekend outing. The bar service was phenomenal - kind, helpful, and with great suggestions. The shrimp snack we had was tasty, and all the drinks we tried were delicious. Would come back for sure.

    An old-school glitteratti watering hole that is interesting, but not incredible. The Pierre is a storied hotel with long history of serving the rich and famous. The two E Bar lounge is tucked in the hotel back and recessed, almost like a sunken living room. Its not as dramatic as historic bars in other old hotels, but the staff is excellent, even if the decor and ambiance arent extraordinary. One call out is the bathroom which is only for one person (always in demand) yet serves the 50-80 people. All in Id rate the service an A- and the atmosphere a B.

    I came here for afternoon tea in the lounge. The space is small and intimate. The staff are very friendly and attentive. Also their afternoon tea menu is probably one of the best in NYC. First of all, their food is all in miniature form so its dainty which is how afternoon tea treats are supposed to be. Also, there is 2 of everything so it is easy to split with your companion. The sandwiches, sweets, and scones are tasty and fresh. Its a bit on the pricey side but its a nice treat once in a while. We had a Groupon so it was a good deal.

    This is my first time doing high tea at the Pierre since they moved from the Rotunda. Besides the slight downgrade in atmosphere, service and food quality was on point.Everything we ate was delicious and their tea selection was decent. We tried the Rotunda (strong floral notes) and the Darjeeling (very well balanced black).

    Went here for high tea with some friends. The Two E Bar/Lounge, mini sandwiches and quiches were fantastic! Our waitress was very cute and nice as well. We were a fan of all of the sweets offered with the high Two E Bar/Lounge, I think we would have rather had another sandwich or quiche.

  • Review 9 (2017-05-24 - Rating: 4)

    The service is impeccable. The food is great! My only complaint is that they give you way too many sweets and you feel like youre in a sugar coma when you leave. A few more Savory items would balance the afternoon tea out marvelously

    Exquisite Afternoon Royal Tea! Delectable tasty morsels. Champagne. Expertly brewed delicious tea. Great service and atmosphere with a pianist. What more can I say?

    Phenomenal experience at the Two E Bar.Mazi (sp?) and Paul are two phenomenal bartenders and really great their visitors well. Whenever Im back in New York, Ill be sure to stop on by.

    Such a great experience. Went to experience high tea and had excellent service. They were perfectly responsive to my friends and my dietary restrictions, and went through extra effort to make sure our tea was perfect. The manager noticed me gifting scone mix to my friend and surprised us with the scone recipe from the pastry chef. An absolute pleasure! Definitely returning.

    Afternoon tea is fantastic! Several tea options and great food. It wasn’t too busy here on a Sunday afternoon. I’ll definitely be back & would recommend it to friends. To be honest, the afternoon tea here beats The Ritz Carlton afternoon tea by far & is on par with English afternoon tea.

    Great service and food. We brought a one year old baby with us and they have no problem about it and found us the high chair immediately.

  • Review 16 (2017-09-17 - Rating: 5)

    Highly recommended. Their curry chicken is exceptional and they hv this strawberry cut in 4 quarters and sits on a white sugary crust is delicious. Great service! Hats off to the hostess

    If I have to describe this place in one word, it would be “classy” exceptional service!!!

    Love the ambiance and live music. Service was attentive and not overbearing.

    Sam the bartender is the best. Always attentive, nice conversation, and always welcoming.

  • Review 21 (2018-09-05 - Rating: 5)

    Try the “Never See It Coming,” the smoothest pineapple martini I’ve ever had. Also the only pineapple martini, which is equally noteworthy!

    Great musicians, great cocktails, easy favorite

  • Review 23 (2019-01-02 - Rating: 4)

    Being a Taj inner circle platinum member, it was natural for me to stop by the lounge.It’s a cool place and well served however I disliked the fact that they don’t serve Indian Masala Chai. They have basic Indian tea chai but not the home made masala chai.The waiters are friendly and Leo took good care of us by giving us a good table. Our waiter lacked the Taj finesse.The chairs seemed worn out and needs to be replaced. The rooms cost around 500-750$ a night - the cost of Taj Exotica or palace properties - so the upkeep and fine detail needs to be there. This is probably my biggest ask for Taj.I absolutely dislike seeing worn walls or corners but besides that, this is the best place to be in nyc.

    Nice place for afternoon high tea. Can get pretty crowded on a weekend

  • Review 31 (2021-03-19 - Rating: 4)

    Lovely hotel. We arrived 10 min before afternoon tea started and were treated to a short tour of the hotel by Ivette from the concierge desk. She made a wonderful impression with her authentic and friendly demeanor.Afternoon tea was a success according to my daughter, who was the reason for our visit. I thought the food and service were a bit disappointing. The top of the cream and the lemon curd was slightly congealed. Cream may not have tasted entirely fresh! Sandwiches seemed like they might have sat already prepared for a little too long. Tables are a bit small and low for eating but overall the atmosphere is elegant. The waiter was not as gracious as others we had encountered, I hope it wasn’t because we came with a groupon. The teas and sweets were delicious.Overall, really pleased to have discovered this elegant, old-world hotel and its interesting place in NYC history. Ivette and the doorman at the 61st street entrance were the epitome of genuinely warm service! We will look to stay for a special occasion sometime in the future and maybe give the afternoon tea a second try—hopefully we were just there on an off day.

    My boyfriend and I visited Two E Bar and had a delightful afternoon tea service for two. We loved it! They have a wonderful selection of loose leaf teas which brew in individual teapots. (The Tropical Tea is AMAZING) Included in the tea service for two are also delicious assortments of 2 of each of the sandwiches, fresh warm scones and pastries on their afternoon tea menu. If you havent experienced afternoon tea, this is the place to come to vist and enjoy. See pictures!

    Went for Afternoon teatimeOverall there were a lot of items, and very filling. Savory items were good.Scones (got 4 cranberry one, would have preferred 2 flavors) and cookies very heavy, quite buttery. Lots of sweet bites too.Tried the Traditional Chai and Pierre blend teas. The Chai wasnt as spiced as the Pierre blend.Good service.Tables are a bit crowded.$8 for an espresso shot

  • Review 34 (2016-12-04 - Rating: 5)

    Excellent traditional tea service experience. The food offerings, quality of service is inviting and professional. We tried the traditional tea service and highly recommend the Pierre Blend & The Garden of Dream teas.
