If you do not have clotted cream simply don't serve clotted cream. Don't give me a ramekin of…read morewhipped cream and tell me it's clotted cream like I'm stupid There are plenty of etiquette rules and standards to attending an afternoon tea service but there are as many to serving one. Management and ownership have never attended a tea service or researched how to host one Each table is limited to two selections and two pots of tea. Don't agree? Oh well. Refills? Extra charge. But wait you actually receive three pots of tea because upon seating a pot of the "seasonal" herbal tea is served whether you like it or not.m Additionally serving milk with black tea selections is apparently not standard practice here and needs to be specifically requested. The Earl Grey tea is excellent First course: salad. Hopefully no one in your party has severe nut allergies because before even taking tea selections a plate of spring mix buried under a pile of walnuts is dropped in front of you. Those in our party able to eat the salad did not enjoy it Second course: savouries. Finger sandwiches were fresh. Chicken salad was excellent. Egg salad on croissant was good I personally disagree with quiche being served as it's non-traditional but it is accepted in many circles and the quiche was also good However I have absolutely no doubt that the chicken salad and egg salad were scooped out of premade tubs from Sysco or Restaurant Depot judging by the sweets Scones: underbaked. Disappointing given reviews raving about them. Maybe we received a bad batch maybe the local population has never had a decent scone. Will not be returning to find out Presumably since the savoury scone (an abomination in my opinion) was served in the same course as a sweet scone the only butter served was a savoury herb butter. As a result there was no butter available for the "butterscotch" scone and there would not have been enough anyway considering we received about a tablespoon of butter and two tablespoons of both other toppings between five people The "clotted cream" has been addressed as it was the most offensive part of enduring this experience. Rather than a traditional jam or marmalade none of which we were served we were given a "mango compote." How someone decided mango and butterscotch are complementary I have no idea. Anyone in this industry would recognize Reàl purée squeezed out of a plastic bottle Sweets: thaw and serve La Boulangerie des Gourmets frozen macarons (which include a pistachio flavor and are packaged in one tray so again watch for nut allergies if you think you're safe eating a lemon macaron as this obviously isn't disclosed). I see these are being sold separately outside of the tea service 6/$14. They are 57¢ ea Chocolate mousse mix piped into a plastic cup with a processed whipped topping. The most edible dessert Menu lists lemon cheesecake server identified small tarts as key lime pie. Not sure which we received but can note the filling at least (probably not the tart shell) is made in house because we received more than one batch with one having not even a hint of citrus Saving the worst for last the "strawberry" cupcake. First and foremost cupcakes chocolate mousse and macarons (and most egregious cannolis listed on the children's menu) are not standard sweets served with afternoon tea. But this cupcake? The cupcakes we were served here were the driest cake I have ever seen in my life completely inedible. The frosting was some sort of processed palm oil goo and neither cake nor frosting had any strawberry flavor Atmosphere and service: service was friendly albeit casual slow and not attentive. Server was not very knowledgeable. Not her fault Space was fine if gaudy. Table was crowded. I share another reviewer's sentiment but the table cloth was about a foot longer than the table was high which made sitting movement or pushing a chair in difficult. It felt like wearing a heavy blanket that was pulled taut the entire experience Paper napkins and plastic dishes. At over $40 per person you would expect more As a side note standard afternoon tea practice is being offered or asking for additional items the guests like. However the menu had prices listed for additional sides of all items served on the tea service. Given the quality vs cost this felt particularly gauche It's hard to comprehend why the owners or management here can't get the tea service right. The hardest part is finger sandwiches and freshness which they seem to have managed. Good quality premade desserts are available and scones are not difficult to make. It honestly seems like a lack of effort on their part or a lack of respect for their customers which is frustrating All in all a very expensive abysmal experience. I'm sure there are decent afternoon teas available in this area at a similar price. Fortnum and Mason and the Covent Garden Hotel in London both known for afternoon teas charge £45 per person Two stars for the chicken salad server and Earl Grey

Authentic tea sandwiches are made with delicate, thinly sliced bread, usually white, with filling appropriately proportioned to the bread. Pretty china was used. One full tea service plus a soup and a second pot of tea cost about 80.00 with tax and tip. Rather pricey for the quality, unfortunately. The yea with the caramel candy pieces tasted strangely artificial but the herbal blueberry tea was delicious. The tea shop was fun to browse and the tea pots and accessories for sale were very nice as well but again, quite pricey. This was our first time dining in Radnor, PA, so as a Philly suburb, this may be the standard here. Next time we will drive into the city for higher quality food.

Scouting through some recommended high tea places in Yelp articles, I discovered this one being a…read morepopular one in America and decided to make a reservation for a week ahead for our party of 2. When booking, you prepay it online so it was nice to go in and purely enjoy the experience. The first thing we noticed was how stunning the space was with the windows viewing their garden space and the neutrals. They explained how the high tea went where we got to choose a tea and showed us the different food selections we were going to be served. I opted for the tropical garden tea which was fruity and caffeine free. The savory items came on the side where we got a plate of 4 mini sandwiches. My favorites were the salmon and the curry where the salmon was fresh and simple contrasted with the curry which was richer in flavor. The egg salad was also light and nicely seasoned with the egg roe on top. The scones were the standout on this tiered structure for us. The strawberry basil scone had the best texture and rich flavor that paired beautifully with their lemon curd, cream and jam on the side. Others we enjoyed were the blueberry and lemon tart, balanced in its sweet and sourness. On the other hand, we weren't big fans of the cheesecake which was too sweet and the eclair was a good texture but I was unsure of the orange flavor inside. We enjoyed our experience from trying the different items to spending time in the space and everything together was very filling. We would definitely come back for another special occasion.
