| - I had high tea at MO Tea Lounge this past weekend and had an overall nice experience. You just simply proceed to the 23rd floor sky lobby and the tea room is right next to the check in counter. The views by the window are simply breathtaking, although lack of wow factor. The service are on the level of a true 5 stars experience - friendly, knowledgeable about their products yet professional, which is rare in Vegas hospitality industries. I was pleased to see this level of service in Vegas.
I give 4 stars because the service is 5 stars, however the food is 3 stars, thus 4 stars rating on average.
The high tea comes with choice extensive choices of tea and 3 trays of tea pastries (top layer of tea pastries, middle layer scones, and bottom layer with tea sandwiches). The bottom try sandwich came with Salmon cucumber, Chicken curry, black forest ham, egg salad sandwich. I was quite underwhelmed with the taste of the sandwhich. The breads were dry and it taste is either too salty or no taste at all. Black forest ham was the best of all but still not remarkable.
The scones in the middle are the best along with their strawberry ruhburb jam.
Their desserts were disappointing, too. The macaroon looks nice but the taste (Vanilla & Strawberry) did not impress me at all. It was just pure sweet, their chocolates were quite average too. Lemon lavender cake was really sweet, I guess that can go with the tea well. My favorite was the pistacho mousse with strawberry jam, but still that was very sweet at all. For the name of the MO high tea, they still have quite some way to go. There is no comparison to their sister property, MO Bangkok High tea.
I am also sad to see that they will discontinue with the refill service with their high tea. Next time when having high tea in Vegas, I will venture out to different options.
