I wanted to love tea at the plaza. I had been looking forward to it for months as I have had high tea on 3 continents and several states. It was the worst experience I have had, space and noise were both issues. We were crammed into a little table for two. I traded to the outside seat with my husband after he was bumped by passerbys. When the other party of two were squeezed he was cramped on the couch. I was sandwiched by someone at my back and a stranger across from me. It was very noisy so it was hard to have a conversation. We did the champagne tea which would have been lovely in a different atmosphere. I finally had the remainders packed to go and we enjoyed them in central park. I would say it is highly overrated, but you may have a better experience with a table of 3 or 4 that doesn't require you to be intimate with strangers. I would never consider paying that much for this experience again.
