I was the lucky birthday girl at a surprise High Tea party for eight at The Inn on Negley. The service is as good as it gets. We placed our first tea order (you can change it up however many times you like!) then the chef came out to explain the food she had made. For our first tier we had chicken salad sandwich, egg salad sandwich, and cucumber dill crostini things. The second tier had two types of scones and cantaloupe slices. The third tier was mini cupcakes, brownies, and strawberries and cream sandwich type things. Even though the food did not look like a lot it really was filling.
The atmosphere was beautiful and comfortable. Not stuffy or too formal at all. We felt comfortable having a good time while being ultra ladylike. The place settings were very pretty and just what I expected.
The only reason I did not give The Inn on Negley 5 stars is that some of the food was better than others. The egg salad sandwich was dry, bland and the bread was a bit stale. The chicken salad sandwich, however, was the BEST chicken salad I've ever had.
High Tea is definitely worth the experience at The Inn on Negley! I'd love to go back and stay in a room for a little close to home treat some day.
