Peacock Alley Waldorf Astoria New York

We had just heard of the WA's closing a few days prior at our home in Laguna Beach, CA, and on a whim, tried for and got our reservation! We flew out just to see Thie Historic and beautiful Waldorf Astoria, and to experience the wonderful ambience we had heard so much about. Seeing the Staff in formal wear for their own celebration was very touching, and a genuine feeling of Family amongst them was evident. THANK YOU to all who breathed life into this great place...and for not laughing at me as I swiped the last of the hand towels with the Waldorf stamp, lol! The Peacock Alley was so full of life, with regulars saying goodbye, and we were welcomed with open arms food was amazing, hot, and deeeeeelicious!!! Good Luck to all hope to see you in a few years when the new project is complete.

It is a very special place where we go for a late lunch chocolate martinis on a regular basis. We are very sad the Waldorf is closing for renovations hope they reopen very soon. It's the best

A moment in history, last night of operation for Peacock Alley. Service, drinks, food were great to the last moment.

We realize the Peacock Alley will soon be closing...BUT...no excuse for such UNACCEPTABLE service. The Waldorf Salad was fabulous, as was the Waldorf Cupcake. After being served, we never saw our waiter, Nasir, again. In spite of $7 for iced tea, the glass went diluted and empty of tea. In spite of $8 for hot tea, four sips were enjoyed, then tepid water remained with no refill throughout the rest of the lunch. In spite of being asked and then notifying of a Special Occasion in our reservation notes, no acknowledgement of this was received.

Eating the world famous Sunday Brunch goes beyond the great food and unimaginably various choices available and the musical atmosphere. It is a taste of history, high class life, and the spirit and creatively high quality of hotel service. It teaches us how far the culinary art can go and there is no limit for the scope of service and hospitality. Our son and daughter ate the Sunday Brunch and liked it so much that they arranged an opportunity for our Valentine 's Day and the anniversary. A special thank you goes to the restaurant staff and we have enjoyed every bit of the experience.
