Ada's Lounge Menu & Review

At The Ritz-Carlton New York, Central Park, New York City, United States

Central Park-facing, all-day, most active for tea and evening cocktails

Ada's Lounge is the hotel's one dedicated food-and-drink venue, used for breakfast, a full afternoon tea service and evening cocktails, all facing directly into Central Park. It's a genuinely pleasant room, but the hotel is candid that this isn't a destination restaurant in the way Le Cinq or Oro are at other properties in this guide — the strategy here is to lean on the surrounding neighbourhood's restaurant density (Columbus Circle and the west side of the park have no shortage of options) rather than compete with a flagship kitchen of its own.

Menu Highlights

  • Classic afternoon tea service with Central Park views
  • A seasonal cocktail list built around the lounge's park-facing terrace in warmer months
  • A rotating in-room dining menu available late into the evening

Reservation Tip

Book afternoon tea 2–3 days ahead, especially around the winter holidays when Central Park views are at their most photogenic.
