| - Let's break this stellar review down into categories. We're gonna start off with ambiance, food, and drinks. PS props to Betzy on being a top notch server.
Let's get it crackin' with ambiance. So the MO is very high end. Don't be fooled by the pashminas and the Summerlin moms - the service was great. Very worth the $40 price for the afternoon tea, and the snazzy finger sandwiches and pastries. We called ahead and requested be seated by the window (if possible) and MO was very accommodating and the view was magnifique!
Secondly, let's get to bizness with the food! I would say the food was the best part, but honestly the drinks also were spectacular. So my colleague and I loved pretty much everything that was presented to us. The forerunners were the apricot biscuit, the ham and cheese finger sandwiches, and whatever this yellow white chocolate raspberry ball of goodness was that was presented to us. I would say at least every delightful little snack was a B+ in our book - a few did not fit our preferences, but hey... you win some and you lose some. Even the French honey and the whipped butter tickled my taste buds.
Last but certainly not least, the dranks. My colleague and I also splurged on some libations. She got the Tea-tini which was was aromatically pleasing and in her own words, "zesty." I got the rooster drink because I am the year of the rooster. It was a cocktail made with Aviation gin, lychee popping bubbles, and whole lot of tasty. Now - the tea! My colleague got the peach tea and the pot came with this delightful blooming flower. Afternoon tea and a show! I went with the jasmine white tea which was absolutely delicate, feminine, splendid, and pleasing to the tongue.
Well worth the splurge - absolutely tea-riffic.
