Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in The Marigny

I thought this was a nice experience. Valet was extremely friendly and nice, the holiday ambiance was beautiful and inviting, the harp player was nice to hear in the background and the menu was a nice spread to go with the tea theme. The hostess was not bad, but she wasn't as inviting and friendly as valet was. The waitress was nice, however, I do not think her service warranted a $40 automatic gratuity for 3 people.

This is my favorite place to visit. Even when I moved away from Louisiana I found myself coming back to English Tea Room whenever I visited family. Now that I'm all moved back I try to come at least once a month. Everything is delicious. I haven't had a dish I didn't like. Tea selection is unlike any tea place I've ever been to. I still haven't tried all the flavors and I've been coming here for over 10 years. Love the specials that run from time to time. My favorite things to get is the tomato basil soup, vanilla scones, and bangers n mash. Tea-wise I always go for nutcracker, apple pie a la mode, Mr. Darcy, blue eyes, and the chocolate chai. Service is always amazing even if sometimes the place gets super busy. Cullen is my favorite server at ETR. On my most recent visit Cullen surprised my group with "mystery" teas which was new flavors they had been working on. We were all delighted with what we tried and maybe even found a new favorite! If you're looking for a fun place to try or even for a special occasion please give English Tea Room a try. You will not be disappointed. Long time lover of this gem. I have done high tea on the Queen Mary all the way to the tea service at The Grand Floridian in Florida and nothing has quite compared to how amazing ETR is. You can't beat it! Plus, I often see the owners coming and going. Name me an establishment where you see the owners, it doesn't happen as frequently at other places.

The entire experience was outstanding!! From start to finish the afternoon was relaxing, fun and filled with memory making moments. The Royal Tea is amazing.
