I have heard so much about Windsor Arms Hotel Tea Room. And when my friend invited me to join her to a 3:00 Afternoon Tea date?! I AM IN!!
- Services really lacking from the hostesses.
While I announced our presences for our reservations to one of the hostesses, all I got was a cold response to have a seat and wait. And while other patrons that came after me have the same 3:00 pm slot reservation got seated right away?! This happened twice and finally I decided to check in with the other hostess and got seated right away!
- Services really lacking from the waiter.
For an traditional English Afternoon Tea experience, services is really important. I expect nothing but top notch services.. but just something is lacking. Waiter is a little condescending. Services need to be a lot more refined!
- Tea room Set up needs improving
The tables are set too closely together. The tiled floors is not suitable for a tea room as whenever someone gets up or moves the chairs, the noise can be unbearable with the chairs scarping the floor.
- Food is really meh
Sandwiches are soggy and the bread got crushed into a doughy piece of roll. Petite 4 just way way too sweet. Scones are not bad with the jams and clotted cream.
Loose tea leaves selections though is very good. I love my Russian Caravan which is bold, strong, smokey and have a great body.
For what Windsor Arms charging for their Afternoon Tea, I am definitely a little disappointed with the experience. There are definitely plenty of room for improvement!
