The Peninsula
My friends & I experienced a marvelous Afternoon Tea. It may not be the cozy little tearoom with lace curtains but you feel like a queen. Starting out with 2 types of scones, shortbread & Raspberry linzer, followed by a marvelous cream pot, fresh assortment of savories on different breads consisting of smoked salmon with pistachio cream, sage roasted mushrooms, and truffled goat cheese quiche. Pastries were delectable eclairs,cream puffes and more. Large selection of teas, black, scented black, classic green & tisanes. Cost was $36. Would I go back? In a heartbeat.

Pinecone Cottage Tea House
Quaint tiny tea room. More on the woodsy theme with large pine cones set around, pine cone wallpaper border, twig chairs which are cute but not comfortable. Not what I would consider an Afternoon Tea. Savories were blintzes, filled red potatoes and triangle chicken salad sandwiches. Although tasty, not what I would expect. Scones too cinnamony and dry, cream mixture to apply to scone not creamy. Sweet was a Pavlova with a swan cream puff on top. Not exciting.Uses loose leaf tea in tea balls but also has tea bags on table. Would I go back again, no.
