La Tea Da's
I was disappointed with my experience here. We (there were 3 of us) had High Tea. We were seated right after we arrived for our scheduled Afternoon Tea service. But we then waited at least 5 minutes (I think it was actually closer to 10 minutes) for our waiter to come to our table. He dropped off iced waters and then returned with a tea box. We each selected one tea. He brought hot water, but there were no spoons on the table for our tea, so we just used the little straws that were in our iced water. Our waiter was very friendly, but the service was very slow - which I didn't understand since the food had already been prepared and all he had to do was get it out of the refrigerator. We were the only folks on the first floor for most of our tea service, but it was still a long time between visits from our waiter. (There were two parties on the 2nd floor, so I don't know if he was helping with those or what.) When the waiter dropped off our sandwiches, he asked if we wanted more hot water, but didn't offer to bring out the tea box, so I'm not sure if we were expected to re-use our tea bags or what. I asked him to bring the tea box to our table. We each took two tea bags this time. To sum it up, the food was good, but the service was not what I was expecting. I went to The Tea Room in Savannah a few months before my visit to La Tea Da's. I would say the difference between the two tea rooms is like the difference between the Ritz Carloton and a motel (except that in this case, the 'motel' cost as much as the 'Ritz Carlton'). I doubt that I will go back to La Tea Da's.
