We came here because I love high tea and we were able to get a comp for this place.
Located inside Bellagio next to the lobby and the casino area, this place can be easy to miss. We originally had an earlier reservation but called to move it an hour later since we were running late. Well we went to the MLife counter and claimed our comps for our 4:30 reservation. We got there and this oh so snooty hostess lady whos probably in her 30's told us that their high tea closes at 4 pm and that our reservation was for 4 and not 4:30. I told her that I was next to my husband when he said 4:30 then she proceeded to argue with us that they said 4 pm. Okay..whatevers lady (rule of thumb, never argue with your customers)..so I asked the lady if theres any way we can still have the high tea since we are leaving that night and our comp will expire. She said she'll ask and left the booth never to return.The two of us stood next to their podium for about 15 minutes before someone led us inside. In between this time, two other couples were greeted and seated so other patrons were probably wondering why we were just standing around..can you say awkward...
Finally when we did make it in our tea was set up and our waitress was wonderful so my stars are for her actually. She was the only person who didn't make us feel out of place in this pretentious place. We got the two people serving so we each chose three flavors of mini sandwiches and shared the pastries. The food was really so so though and my peach oolong tea (can't remember exact tea) was not exciting at all.
My three stars was given because they actually still gave us our high tea although we were "late", our server was sweet, and lastly because of the interior ambience and setup.
