Brassica

Brassica is the brasserie-inspired flagship restaurant inside of Waldorf Astoria with a southern twist and a focus on local, seasonal ingredients. I chose to celebrate my birthday with 10 friends over High Tea. High Tea is served at the Brassica every Saturday and Sunday at 11am, 1pm, and 3pm. I had a lovely pre-tea beverage at the bar. The Bavaria was created at the bar and is a rum-forward beverage with homemade banana-coconut syrup that immediately places you on a beach in Puerto Rico. My party had the Buckhead tea, which consists of a tea selection, tea sandwiches, petite sweets, a scone, and a glass of sparkling wine or cider. The price point of the tea sets vary based on beverage upgrades, with the top tier adding caviar service. We loved the long dramatic table in the Solarium with the harpist playing throughout our tea. They are in the process of finishing renovations to the Solarium. The room currently is a bit stark and lacks the fancy of a tea room.High Tea is one of those things you should experience at least once in your life, as it is quite the vibe. We loved the long dramatic table with the harpist playing throughout our tea. The tea, sandwiches, and sweets were delicious. I especially enjoyed the smoked salmon sandwich with dill cream, cucumber sandwich, prosciutto sandwich, macaron, and pecan eclair. I enjoyed my experience and will definitely return back to Brassica for their regular menu (the last time I was there was for a staycation during Covid when they had just opened for limited service).

My family and I went to the Waldorf Astoria for a birthday dinner and she was our experience! We came in the evening and got sat down at a large table because we had a large party! Lighting and the music was playing in the background from the lobby or the bar I'm assuming, but it wasn't distracting. Let's just get down to the food. This is the kind of restaurant, where the entrées at the dishes are described very well on the menu, but they don't deliver in person. The seasoning was lacking, the presentation was OK, but the texture was not there. When I order trout and you and it arrives with skin on it, I'm expecting that skin to be crispy. It was not. The vegetables underneath didn't have a texture of their own. It kind of presented as a succotash, and I just don't think that was the right pairing for this fish, especially if it didn't have any crisp on it. The grouper was OK. Again no texture. Just quite mushy, and honestly boring to the palate. I wouldn't recommend that dish. We ordered the escargot and our waitress did let us know that it doesn't come out pretty, and it's not what you would expect. Traditionally when you order escargot, it comes in the shell they give you the proper paired fork for you to retrieve the escargot out of the shell, and it comes with a bit of broth, and Bread on the side for you to dip. It was the show, which was strange. And it was put onto the toast but it's dry? Very weird. And the steak honestly came at the right temperature, it was made in a cast-iron pan, so there was a bit of crisp on it, but then the menu stated that they were duck fat fries. When I read duck fat fries, I'm expecting fries, made in duck, fat, flavorful, salt on there and pepper. That was not what we received. Our waitress us know that Duckfat referred to the thickness of the fry. The way to the fry was cut... I've never heard that before in my life maybe I just am not familiar with it but I just feel like they could have simply said they were thick cut fries because that's what they were. I ordered shuffle fries instead and she let me know that there was Parmesan on the top of those fries, as is customary. The meal took so long to come out, most of the food was not warm, and added to the fact that there was no Parmesan on the fries. Our waitress let us know that the kitchen told her this at the last minute when the food was ready. Again, not quite sure why they set her up that way, and also if that was the case, she should have presents or the food and let me know that there was no Parmesan available and offered a substitute.All in all I get this experience a two out of 10 simply because our waitress did her best but honestly, the kitchen set her up for failure. I think they definitely need to take a second and taste their menu and improve.

Zero complaints! We came last minute on a Friday night with a group of ten and were able to get a reservation within the hour. We had a private room and the decor is gorgeous, live music and all. Expansive menu, including options and accomodations for all of our restrictions and dietary needs, plus mocktails and an extensive wine list. Can't remember our waitresses name but she was fantastic. Definitely a good place for a birthday or special celebration -- $12 valet parking

A delicious breakfast served with superior elegance. The waitstaff proved exceptionally friendly and dedicated to friendly service. Our meals arrived without an excessive wait. The restaurant looks and feels southern contemporary. I will dine here again when lodging at the Waldorf Astoria.

There's complimentary valet parking. The space is small and intimate - cute for catching up with friends, date night, or spending time with a few family members. We dined for brunch and the server was polite and friendly. Unfortunately, the service was a little slow given the small number of patrons. We ordered from the cocktail menu and it took about 20+ minutes for (3) drinks. The food was delicious but overpriced (I encourage you to ask the server how many ounces the steak is before ordering). I would dine again.

Such a great experience. High tea was fantastic. My waitress Jenna was amazing and attentive. She was aware that it was my birthday and she made sure to make my dining experience one of a kind.

Brassica is an upscale bar with dim lightning, located inside, The Waldorf Hotel. Brassica bar staff is friendly that offers great service. Brassica has a beautiful clean bar with nice comfortable chairs & Lobby chairs. I thoroughly enjoy going for the quiet sophisticated ambiance & magnificent wine & champagne list. Brassica, serves Dom Perignon Champagne perfectly chilled one of my favorites. They also have the best bar appetizer menu, I like the Oysters Rockefeller & if you're really hungry grab yourself a Raclette Burger. Yummy! This is a fabulous Hotel bar with beautiful views. Great for date night, family & after work cocktails. Safe area to walk to other bars nearby. Valet Parking at The Waldorf Hotel for a fee. Overall, great experience.

I tried to go to Brassica and then learned that they don't validate parking. They do NOT validate parking! So how much does parking cost you? About $20 after tip. So factor that in before you make a reservation.

My wife and I frequented Brassica during our stay this past weekend. The bar staff is super friendly and make you feel like they've known you forever. We enjoyed honey lemon pepper wings as an appetizer; chicken and waffles and the ribeye steak and eggs for brunch on Saturday. The food can use a bit more seasoning. However, the staff is amazing.

This was a really pleasant experience the food was amazing the server was just great. She did 100% to make us feel comfortable and welcome. The food was really good good portions and good test.
