| - Cute little photos on yelp and some great reviews. So, I had high hopes for this place. Unfortunately, I was disappointed.
The place has a cute vintage vibe to it. I just didn't like the musty and stuffiness of the atmosphere inside. Service was subpar as the waitress clearly wasn't trained properly in what was served in their foods. No knowledge of which teas should be paired or what each desserts contained. When you say something like, this tart is made with "some kind of" custard. Umm... not very professional, I can say.
We ordered the Mad Hatter's Tea Party - $27 & Dessert Bento Boxes - $30. Mad Hatter's Tea Party served with mediocre cold chicken breast and "out-of-air" bread. Gross! Overtly processed sugary pastries and scones that didn't even looked like scones. Anyhow, totally disappointed. I guarantee you, a dessert connoisseur myself, they were definitely "NOT" served fresh. When we cannot break part the tarts, fondant hard as a rock, and chocolate cake just crumbled apart in your mouth (no moisture, whatsoever), you start to wonder, how long did they leave this in their fridge for?! This was their Dessert Bento - absolutely horrid for $30, you get 8 mini pastries and a couple of sesami mochi balls? Overprice and over-rated!
Essentially, I give 0 stars for the food, 1 star for the service, and 1 star for the ambiance.
"Red" Tea box? More like "Black" Tea box - definitely no "love" from me!
