Brought my friend for her first high tea experience and our 1st time at the Ritz-Carlton. We had reservations for 1pm and were seated even though we arrived much earlier. The decor is simply beautiful from the furniture to the huge fireplace. The ceiling is high with crystal chandeliers.
For my tea I chose Jasmine which was nice and light not overly sweet. We were served the 3 tiered platter and worked our way from top to bottom. The 1st tier contained 2 types of scones and were served warm with 2 jams and cream. I enjoyed the cranberry scone with red jam and cream. The 2nd tier contained 3 different finger sandwiches with crustless bread. My favorite is the cucumber with cream cheese. The 3rd tier contained a variety of bite sized pastries. Although the pieces are served in small bites, it was filling. I refilled my hot water a few times and the ta bag maintained its flavor.
Overall, the staff was attentive and friendly. I asked one gentleman if we could view the Oval Room and he was kind and accomodated us for few minutes. He made our experience complete!
