The Oak Room, New York's fabled landmark, is now open in The Plaza Hotel, reinstating the New York icon as the most romantic meeting spot in New York City and bringing old-world glamour to the next generation. Originally designed by Henry Hardenbergh in 1907 as a men's bar, The Oak Room closed during Prohibition and re-opened in 1934 as a full service restaurant. The Oak Room's detailed wood-paneled walls and barrel-vaulted ceiling remain today, as do the three carved niches with murals of German feudal castles that fill the arches.
Executive Chef Eric Hara has reinvented classic American cuisine for this legendary restaurant, bringing his dedication to fresh, seasonal ingredients to one of New York's most memorable dining experiences.
The Oak Room also features two newly created options for private dining and events - an 18-seat private dining room and an eight-seat chef's table in the kitchen itself. A separate entrance is available to the chef's table, providing the ultimate in exclusivity for patrons.
