For my first high tea experience, I was really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, we had just arrived and eaten at another restaurant, so we did not sample any of the food, just had tea and a fruit platter. I had made reservations beforehand, and had requested a window seat, but there wasn't available when we had arrived. Afternoon tea is served from 1-5 PM daily.
We ended up ordering a fruit platter ($12) and a pot of Jasmine Earl Grey tea ($12). I love Jasmine tea and Earl Grey tea, so it was a nice mixture of both teas. The teapot is pretty huge, and it was enough for four people to share. The fruit platter was good-it was a mix of berries, melon, and pineapple.
In the elevator, they have a bench inside the elevator. I thought that was weird. Also, there is only like 3 buttons, one that takes you to the main floor, another to the tea lounge (on the 23rd floor), and I forgot what the third button was. I am guessing there is a separate elevator for the main hotel?
Overall, I thought it was an okay experience for high tea. Service was okay-it was a bit slow, and often the waitress would disappear and we would have to flag another waitress down. Gratuity is automatically added to your bill. I was disappointed that we were seated way in the back of the lounge. I may come back, but maybe not when I'm so full from lunch, so I can fully enjoy the tea and treats.
