The Legendary Oak Room Lives Again

You’ve always had a thing for the classics.

Whether it’s a great meal or a grand setting, you can appreciate the finer things.

Welcome then, to the return of an ultimate New York classic: The Oak Room at The Plaza Hotel. The luxe décor and barrel-vaulted ceilings are still the stuff of Gatsby-esque dreams. Hulking oak panels stretch across the entire space, leaving jacquard chairs, custom leather tables, and copper accents to brighten the premises.

While its interior has freshened up, The Oak Room turns the corner on one hundred years of tradition with a new culinary attitude. James Beard Award-winning Chef Joel Antunes has been lured away from his eponymous Atlanta restaurant to make his New York debut. Think American-centric fare, amplified with global ingredients and appeal. Warm up with a Nantucket Bay Scallop and Organic Corn Chowder before moving on to a “Cow Girl” Rib-Eye: a 14 oz dry-aged Rib-Eye accompanied by Crisped Potatoes Macaire and Shallot Sauce, or Dover Sole Filets Roasted Meuniere Style with Brown Butter.

Pulling up a seat at Chef Antunes’ eight-person table or commissioning the private, 18-seat dining room are added luxuries.

Indulging… some things at The Oak Room never change.
