Villard

Food was delicious, but quite pricey as others have noted. Enjoyed lemon mascarpone pancakes and eggs Benedict in what used to be the music room of the Villard mansion. Service was impeccable. I would have preferred a bit more quiet, but would return.

During our 4 day stay at The Lotte Palace we grabbed breakfast a couple of times as we had a $100 daily credit credit. While the physical dining area and restaurant is quite nicely decorated and has a nice aura about it, the cost of this place for a simple breakfast is criminal and to be honest completely ruins any positive feeling one may have about the place. $51 for two eggs, 2 little sausages, a few potatos, some toast and some cofee. $12 for half an avocado! Service is "professional" though I wouldn't say very friendly and as others have said more transactional. They politely offer you orange juice or grapefruit juice as you sit, not indicating it's almost $10 for a small glass. During our stay in NY we ate at Michelin rated restauarants which were cheaper than this!! If you can get o

The place is very pretty, although ambiance is better fitted for drinks than breakfast, it is quite dark in the main room. When it comes to food, it is definitely pricey for what it is, I had a latter and a coconut yogurt with granola, with tax and gratuity it was $45. Yogurt was pretty tasty, but the latter wasn't great, just get regular coffee. American breakfast looked very mediocre, presentation and type of food. Avocado Toast is pretty, and I heard lamb shakshuka is pretty good. Don't expect amazing service either.

Service was absolutely terrible. Rude, forceful and rushed. We don’t pay attention to prices but when we got the bill we were shocked that ONE CUP of coffee was $11. No wonder we were asked at least 5 times, in a demanding and aggressive manner if we wanted more coffee. The tips on just two cups of coffee is great! The ambience is nice, the guest atmosphere was ok but that’s about it. The bacon was pretty terrible. And the dishes uninspiring and absolutely insanely priced. There are so many amazing breakfast places in NYC, if you are not a tourist and stay at the hotel anyway, do yourself a favour and go elsewhere.

We had the pleasure of enjoying breakfast at Villard every day during our stay at Lotte New York Palace, and it was truly a delightful experience. The restaurant's interior is absolutely stunning, with its beautiful, historic architecture adding an elegant touch to every meal. The food was consistently delicious, offering a variety of well-prepared dishes that made each morning special. But what truly stood out was the exceptional service we received, particularly from Shoyeb. His attention to detail, friendly demeanor, and commitment to ensuring we had a great experience made all the difference. Villard is not just a place to eat—it's an experience.
