| - Went for my daughters birthday. Adorable setting....they have hats and dress up things to borrow. VERY close quarters which was a little awkward as we sat next to two ladies discussing dates. But the beautiful tea cups and plates and all the frou frou on the walls gave us conversation. They brought one glass of water, even though there were three of us....eventually came back with 2 more....then the other server brought three waters, lol....not very organized as to who was doing what throughout our entire visit, but at least we had lots of attention! Food was plentiful, but not very special. The bread for the sandwiches were all store bought (you could tell by the texture and flavor, or lack of), the chicken was flavorless, but the salmon made up for it. The scones were very nice....they didn't have devon cream so we got some tasteless whipped stuff, but the jelly was flavorful. The desserts however were awful. Anytime you had a sweet loving child a desserts and she takes one bite and doesn't want any more....you know it's bad. There were 5 (maybe 6) different kinds of sweet and none of us liked any of them. All you could taste was sugar, no flavor it was so sickeningly sweet. And believe me we love sweets.....went later that night to Claim Jumpers for Motherlode Chocolate Cake to make up for not eating any sweets with tea!. There was a nice assortment of tea choices, and we did like our teas, but all you get is a tiny pot, advertised as 2-3 cups, but none of us got a full 3rd cup in our little china cups. We were glad for the water! I told them when I made the reservation that it was for a birthday, reminded her when ordered, and my daughter didn't even get a Happy Birthday greeting. Yet a table with 4 adult ladies got a treat with a candle and a quick little song. Oh well, WE sang happy birthday to her at the tea and again over cake with the Claim Jumpers staff joining in.
All in all a little disappointing. We've done afternoon tea all over the USA....travelling with hubby we go everywhere we can find one. Most of the small tea shops in Phoenix are gone....Kimberly's in Glendale is such rude staff I'll never go back, this one had friendly staff but "eh" food.....the others we have enjoyed in the last 3 years are gone, so I guess we either hit the big hotel teas (which aren't usually as much fun, though the food is usually great) or we drive down to Tucson for one of our top 5 in the country.....Chantilly.
