| - *This review is of their high tea*
The restaurant was completely empty when we got there an hour after their scheduled opening on a weekday morning. We were pretty much given the opportunity to pick where we wanted to sit. I like dining al fresco so we went out to the patio to choose a table. What a disappointment it was to see that none of the tables had been set and that each one was pretty filthy! I then picked a table inside by the window to at least feel like I was eating outside lol. The heat was blasting in our corner of the restaurant but they opened the sliding doors to the side patio which made our spot more bearable to sit in. Our table consisted of two uneven tables pushed together, so one of the tables was higher than the other one. Also, there were specks of "stuff" on the tablecloth on my side, maybe even on the silverware if I recall correctly. Oh, and for pretty much the duration of the meal, I got to watch one of the workers spraying and scrubbing and setting each of the tables outside on the front patio. Couldn't they have done that earlier??
As for the food and tea, the only things I really liked were their sweets, even though they had the "just came out of the refrigerator" wet look lol. I was told that the desserts they serve look pretty much like the sweets from Costco. Well whatever, I liked them and I am never able to say that about the desserts from any afternoon tea place, Costco treats or not :p As for the sandwiches, I really did not like them, especially the one with apple in it. They seem to have different sandwiches on their current online menu, so maybe those are better than the ones I had, which were all just very blah (or terrible like the apple one). I don't remember their scones being bad but they weren't memorable either because I can't remember what they tasted like! Definitely not the best ones I've ever had or even up there. And then the tea, tea is tea to me. I got some fruity one but I remember not really caring for it all that much.
Service was fine; the rest of the experience, not so much for me personally. Glad that I tried it, but I'll splurge a little more and stick to the places on the Strip if I want to do afternoon tea in Vegas again.
