    They seated a large party of very noisy folks who should have more properly been I their own room but we’re very accommodating I moving us to a private room. Very few tea sandwiches which were good but not extraordinary. Way too many desserts. And way too expensive for what you got.

    We had the wonderful opportunity to attend tea again at The London, The Chocolate Tea! ... it was wonderful. This experience was what I have begun to expect when attending a high tea at the many places around the city and surrounding area, this one was at par with the best! Thanks to Joe, and Daniel, and the hostess (perhaps Maia?) .. and those behind the scenes that prepared this wonderful feast! I hope many other tea lovers attend one of the teas, you'll have a lovely time!

    This hotel is lovely, the staff is also wonderful, very friendly and attentive, the tea itself was OK. However, the tea price was $84, online and there is no mention that a gratuity would be included....the bill reflected $100 with no mention that it included a 20% tip and the server didn't mention it either, our fault that we just didn't pay attention as we were having a good time, and paid another 20% tip on top of that.. also, I called in advance for the parking price, the front desk told me it was $15, when I arrived, the valet told me $15 ...when we left the valet desk said it was $18! ... and that I was 5 minutes over. I gave her $20, no change...I feel slightly cheated... sadly, marring what was otherwise a nice afternoon. I'd like to recommend this, but am unable to do so.

    Minnie, thank you for your review. I am so pleased that your experience with our staff was very positive. I have noted the issue regarding the 20% gratuity not being clearly communicated, as well as the issue surrounding the Valet experience. We are having a special tea during August and would love to host you for this experience as our way of correcting your experience. If you are interested, please reach out to Joe Hall, Food & Beverage Director at 310-358-7799. Thank you!

    Our server Daniel was outstanding! He shared his enthusiasm for the high tea and each of the items on the menu. His knowledge and kind nature elevated the experience. The hotel lobby and restaurant were lovely. The food was just okay. I would depend on the experience my friend wanted as to whether or not I would recomment them to the Sitting Room. Daniel our server brought over a beautiful piece of chocolate cake to our table as it was a special birthday for my friend.

    The service at the London tea was perfect but the Valley :( he treated us different since we're just there for afternoon tea.. he let a person (who's stay there) said "I'm the gest, I stay here, can I get my car!" He let this person cut me off.. just like that -_- not happy about that tho but.. whatever

    Beautiful location and good service. I do not think the food is worth the price if that’s important to you. This is one of the more expensive tea rooms I’ve visited and the food just wasn’t very good. There should be more savory items beyond a few tea sandwiches. In particular, I think the desserts were not good (texture/flavor). The tea itself was fine; no special attention paid to brewing times/tea strength.

    I'll definitely be back for tea at The London. The food was delicious and beautifully presented. The service was excellent. The room was quiet, and the couches were comfortable. I thought, overall, it was a great value, particularly considering what other restaurants/hotels charge for tea.

    Went for Afternoon Tea but the tea room was being used by a private party and the main room they sat us in was just depressing. They really should have let us know this when we booked. The food was good but the service was very weak from start to finish. For a few extra bucks The Peninsula is a much better choice.

    The Christmas tea was an ok experience. If you’ve been to a proper afternoon tea this experience will definitely be a let down but if you have children and want to do something special for the holidays this might be a fun experience. Overall afternoon tea was ok but everything was clearly pre made in bulk and a bit dry.

    We booked a Christmas afternoon tea expecting it to feel very festive. Good atmosphere and it was shockingly dull. Good friends together so we had a nice time together but it was very very disappointing. empty boring room no Christmas music, service was not good they looked like they didn’t want to be there. The guy was nice but we only had him for a short time. Very stupidly expensive for what it was. Clearly have no idea how an afternoon works! Sandwiches should on a constant flow until desserts are needed. For that money champagne should be included. What was the point of giving card for $84 a year when I booked to them get another bill that worked out to $150 each Ridiculous

    It looked as if The London had a last minute thought, “let’s offer high tea.” It was very disappointing. There was little to no holiday ambiance in the room, table selection was very poor, several tables were without table cloths and showed bare wood tops, multiple service staff members who were assigned to our table vanished for long periods of time. The tea pots were left on the table without cozies leaving it to get cold cold quickly and the pots were not refreshed until an attendant was flagged down. The actual finger sandwiches were tasty, the scones were delicious and some of the sweets were okay. It was a very disappointing holiday treat for me and my friend. Lovely hotel gift shop though.

    Unfortunately this was not good. Food was super mediocre at best, so was the service and the room where they’re serving tea is stale and not cozy. They should go and have tea at the Penninsula hotel to see how this should be done. We will never go back to the London for tea.

    Unfortunately dining was overbooked and they had multiple large parties happening in the space which led to us being sat in the general dining room instead of the sitting room. I would not have minded the swap of location however it was clear that they did not have a table available for us in any of their spaces. After waiting 30 minutes past our reservation to be sat we were finally seated at a random table in the corner of a room where a private bridal party was happening. Because we were stuck in an awkward location we were both sat Side-by-side facing the windows in the corner So we were not looking directly onto the private party. But nonetheless the location was extremely noisy with a huge party sitting just feet from us and truly awkward as it felt like we had intruded in someone’s private event. It was also very obvious that we were intentionally sat to face the wall like we would not be noticed and positioned in a way that told us without saying that we were not meant to look that direction. Throughout our time, groups from the party were constantly coming over to the area we were sitting to have side conversations and get away from the larger group which was honestly really annoying,but it always felt like we were the ones out of place. Once we did sit down the service was extremely slow took 20 minutes for someone to even greet us and offer drinks. The remaining tea and food followed taking very long to arrive as well. Our waiter was clearly overwhelmed and apologized for the delays, saying that the entire hotel was extremely busy that day. He actually dropped our champagne at our feet Breaking the glasses and exploding alcohol all over the floor in his rush. I want to point out that none of this was our waiters fault and although service was far from acceptable he was doing his absolute best and really should not been stressed to that point.

    We had the most horrible experience. They called and verified our reservation 2 times. This was suppose to have been a Birthday celebration for a very special friend. There was no servers to even give us water for 20min then no one even bothered to apologize for such bad service. Manager did not make this any better by justifing this service. We walked out not even being able to order!!! I have attended many afternoon teas at Beverly Hills Hotel, Pennisula & Bel Air hotel but NEVER been so mistreated by an establishment such as this. They should not continue to offer this service if they are unable to provide the reservation with proper staff. I am so disappointed and recommend you investigate this.
