I chose this place over the Peninsula's afternoon tea in hopes that the food would be comparable, and the view to be better. Well, the view was better - but the food was horrible, with the service atrocious. The prices here are comparable with the higher end, but the service was only comparable to that of a local greasy spoon.A beautiful sunset backdrop was the only thing to keep me calm and my spirits high.. but let me tell you about the food:-My girlfriend and I ordered the Tea Set for 2-3 fli
I chose this place over the Peninsula's afternoon tea in hopes that the food would be comparable, and the view to be better. Well, the view was better - but the food was horrible, with the service atrocious. The prices here are comparable with the higher end, but the service was only comparable to that of a local greasy spoon.
A beautiful sunset backdrop was the only thing to keep me calm and my spirits high.. but let me tell you about the food:
-My girlfriend and I ordered the Tea Set for 2
-3 flimsy plates of very average snacks and disappointing scones arrive in less than 5 minutes after ordering (and cold...)
-the selection was so ordinary and average, and the cup of coffee was the size of an espresso cup (no refills, either!)
-there was maybe 1 thin slice of cucumber in the cucumber sandwich, and the "set for 2" only comes with 1 mini-sized sandwich. was this really just the set for 1??
-The lemon tart was bad - and at a first bite, all you can taste was the stench of "chicken oil".
-i informed the waitress, and she just listened with a blank face, didn't even reply and just walked away
-after 10 minutes, a waiter comes over and tries to understand the situation - and he barely seemed apologetic to the situation. he did offer me a replacement lemon tart, but we had already settled the bill and was getting ready to walk out of the restaurant
I got a real kick out of how the maître d’ pretended there were no tables available when we walked up for a table for 2. There were over 5 tables in a row emptied and disappointed - side by side
By the way, I watched some Italian patron get utterly upset with their service as well, and he made a scene out of his frustration with the staff. So I don't think only I was disappointed
