| - Really lovely place! I kind of felt like I was going to this really fancy and secret place...It's definitely fancy...but I think more people are finding out about this hidden gem.
My mom and I read an article in Seven magazine about it....decided to give it a try. Really elegant, amazing decor, wonderful, 1st class service, and tasty treats. We ordered the afternoon tea...which normally only serves 1 person but they allowed us to split it. It comes with 3 different plates with mini treats on each. The first plate we had were the warm scones with fresh made blueberry jam and also strawberry/chocolate jam. Hands down...my favorite treat of the day! Second plate were the afternoon tea sandwiches: chicken curry, ham with horseradish sauce, smoked salmon with cucumber and egg salad. They were okay...some of the bread seemed a little stale. Lastly, we had the desert plate. I can't remember all of the treats on the plate but they were all pretty good. And of course the tea was good.
Without a doubt....this is some of the best service I've ever had in Las Vegas! Our waitress was so elegant and attentive. Never made us feel out of place. The environment is very thoughtful and well designed. Very peaceful...if you couldn't see the strip, you might forget you were in Las Vegas! However, the tea room has a beautiful view of the strip!
We ended up parking at Aria in self park...It's a very short walk over to the Mandarian Oriental. However, you can use their valet. As with all Vegas valets...it's complimentary (with a tip!).
I plan on going again...it'd be a great place to meet up with girlfriends, and my husband wants to try it....However, on my second visit I will only have tea and scones. Wonderful combo!
