Her Majesty's English Tea Room

I am sad to say this, but the ONLY reason to visit Her Majesty's in Dunlap is the beautiful shop that offers an unparalleled number of tea pots and teas and plates and accessories. I was so excited to see that the Peoria area had a place for afternoon tea and immediately booked a reservation. The experience however, was not a positive one. They do not give you a choice of teas, instead serving everyone the same combination of floral, fruity teas they decided would be appropriate. Then the food comes and I can honestly report they served a ritz cracker with a tiny bit of roast beef on it, another cracker that looked very similar to a wheat thin with some cream cheese on it, and a bowl of thin sesame snack sticks you would get at a bar. There were other items too, but I think those set ... (more)the stage for what you will receive. Perhaps the owners do not know what to serve at an afternoon tea, in which case I suggest they visit a few of the better tea houses like the one in Frankfort, IL or around Chicago. They have a great location, a cute space, and a population of people waiting to try afternoon tea...but until they make significant changes I would do nothing but go there to shop.
