| - When my friend suggested we go to MO for tea, I accepted the fact that I would be sitting at the table drinking tea while all of my friends ate their delicious glutenous scones. Little did I know, but when I asked the wonderful server about gluten free options she said, "I will bring you special dishes. You will enjoy."
I had the full Classic English Tea for only $36, and it was worth every penny. I also splurged and got a Teatini, which was delicious - just a little sweetness but a slight bitterness like tea itself. Crazy...just like tea!
Gluten free bread? Check. Creamy deviled egg whipped and served in an egg balancing on a stone egg topped with micro-greens and Iberico ham. Next, a smoked salmon and watercress sandwich, a black forest ham sandwich, a delicious fruit plate Add on several gluten free pastries, including a macaroon that was to die for, and you can call me MO biggest fan.
I tried several teas since all of my friends tried different ones, and each one was beautiful, and you could tell by the taste that these were high quality teas. The server knew which tea my friend would love when she told her what she felt like drinking that day. There are decaffeinated, caffeinated, herbal and medicinal teas, each one appealing in its own way. Absolutely lovely,
The Sky Lounge is stunning and has one of the best views of Vegas, and everything about Mandarin Oriental screams sophistication, beauty, and elegance with a contemporary flare, For goodness sakes, there's a couch in the elevator that I may or may not have laid down on while going to the wrong floor twice. Dress fabulously and stop in for afternoon tea. I recommend a reservation in advance too!
