| - This review is for Rí Rá's afternoon tea, which they offer everyday from 11-4. (Make sure to make a reservation at least 24 hours in advance.) At less than $25 per person, it is one of the lowest-priced teas in town and comes with the usual: tea, sandwiches, scones, and desserts.
I've done their tea service twice now. The sandwiches they offer are egg mayonnaise, cucumber and cream cheese, ham and tomato, and Irish cheddar and ballymaloe relish (tomato basically). It was unanimous in my party that the cheddar and tomato relish was the least favorite and we had plenty of leftovers of that. The scone was ok, definitely very filling ("doughy" is how one person in my party described it). They offer only one of each dessert (per two people), including macaroons, cream puffs, and a jelly roll that no one particularly cared for. Be prepared to fight for your favorite! Or split it in half :p As for the teas, I was wanting green tea on my most recent visit but they did not have any that day. Instead, I got the Barry's Gold Blend which I enjoyed. Service ranged from ok to very good on my visits.
There is definitely room for improvement with their afternoon tea, especially with some of the menu items, but overall it was ok and I'm glad that I got to experience something different from the more expensive tea services on the Strip. I mean, tea in a pub? That alone is an experience!
*My pictures are from my visit in December 2015 as I didn't take many pictures on my most recent visit this month, and aside from some desserts, not much has changed since then.
