Elizabeth and Alexander's English Tea Room
We decided to try this tea room out on April 3, 2010 and were sadly disappointed. My friend and I adore high tea, but did not find it in this pretentious little place, emphasis on little! The table was not even big enough to hold our pots of tea, 2 regular and 1 child's, let alone the food. We both ordered the Afternoon Tea @ $15.50 each and split a chicken Caesar salad as the amount of food amounted to a snack. The 4 triangle sandwiches were on spongy white bread and the fillings were barely there, hardly enough to taste and not pleasant at that. The plate was rounded out by a few slices of apple, orange, one strawberry and a slice of kiwi and 3 cookies of shortbread, quality dubious. The salad wasn't bad, but the server forgot the chicken which he got when I asked about it, ice-cold and hard. They had little variety in the teas, all just basic teas. Mine was weak and tasteless. I love English Breakfast and this was not up to snuff at all. Our server wasn't attentive at all and we had to keep looking for him! I wouldn't go again, not when there are other quality tea rooms to go to already.
