The Living Room - Réserver une table

This was my 3rd visit for afternoon tea at The Peninsula--the food left much to be desired and the service was FAR too rushed. The savory and sweets look pretty but lacked in flavor. Overall, we feel ripped off to be completely honest. Our friends had just sat and we were catching up when someone rushed over to take our order. We hadn't even opened our menus. Nobody bothered to pay attention to this detail? We asked them to come back as we were not ready. No water was served and we were sweating from the lack of air conditioning in the room.

This place was easy to get to, 15$ valet parking. Once inside Peninsula hotel, you will see a bar to the side, the hotel lobby, and directly infront the Tea Room. There was a harpist playing which was delightful. The staff was friendly, in tip of filling up the Tea and Champagne glasses.. the food was amazing and the scones!!! The Scones were amazing. It's a 2 hour service and completely worth the money. We did the Traditional Tea with endless bubbles and that was 160$ per person.
