Elizabeth and Alexander's English Tea Room

We resently visited ,having stopped over a year ago. The service was awful, we saw our waitress twice, and had to ask three times for our check. It was lunch time and there was only one waitress. There are other tea rooms near by that I will visit instead of this one.

We traveled many miles to try out this tea room based on reviews. I think it is hit-or-miss. If you go to tons of tea rooms in search of the perfect high tea (like us), keep looking. But it's reasonable if you're nearby and want a decent afternoon tea. The tea room decor is okay and the tea itself was average. The food was beautifully presented and most of it nice. Service was fairly slow and we had to get up in order to get our check.

I have been to this tea room many times over the years. I have gone with out of town guests and local friends on weekends and mid week. I have always had excellent service, excellent food and a welcoming and calm environment. My personal menu favorites have been the high tea, salads, quiche, croissant sandwiches and a nice selection of tea. I am planning a return visit with a special aunt in a couple of weeks and we both can't wait. Thank you for providing an English get away for us to spend our precious time together.
