   We had such a lovely experience! The tea was good, food was great and filling! And our server, Jared was amazing! We can't wait to go back with our friends! Thank you for a wonderful Mother's Day outing Raleigh Room!

   Jared, the server is exceptional. The loose-leaf tea is delicious. The harp guitarist is talented. The presentation impeccable. The onion is overbearing contained in every savory.

   The hostess was not very hospitable at all. Wanted a reservation for 3 was told not available but was seated in an area suitable for 4. Was very loud and hard to have a conversation. Will not be returning.

   We enjoyed our second visit for tea in the Raleigh room. Our server was great- but he was extremely busy, so there were several times we waited for him. Also, we sat near an outside door, and men kept going in and out (setting up for an event) - that was pretty annoying. It is a lovely place

   We ha had been talking about having tea at the Cavalier Hotel for 2 years. My mom and I were so excited to go experience the beautiful hotel since the renovation. We've been to several teas in our state, and we just knew that having tea at the Cavalier would be amazing. We were so disappointed. The tea was served in a cup, not a pot, so the tea was cold. The food was subpar. I have a gluten intolerance and spent extra money on my dietary restriction, and the waitress couldn't even tell me what was on my tray. If you have had high tea at other places and good experiences, don't waste your money at the Cavalier.

   Gorgeous venue. Doorman greeted us warmly. No one greeted us when we entered Raleigh Room. Found our way to bar, where I spoke with a female staff member, who definitely had an attitude. This staff member was actually our server. While trying to engage her in conversation, she shared that she really didn’t want to be there!! Hmmmm, that explained the attitude. Her service was great, the presentation was beautiful, food and tea delicious. Ham salad was the best. Live piano music was VERY loud. When I asked if we could move to a table further away, server said not possible, the music, although live, was amplified with speakers. Overall, great value at a gorgeous, old resort. Beautiful tea service with wonderful food. Unfortunately, our service was not commensurate with the Cavalier’s reputation.

    The price of tea service and paying for valet at the renaissance room is mostly about the ambience. We at a 1 pm reservation and they sat everyone at the end of the room, farthest from the pianist (who was great). During that time, a private event ended and everything was getting carted out through the 2 doors for at least 30 minutes- it was loud, and very distracting. Additionally, we were sat next to the air conditioning vent which was dusty and cold, and when we received cold water for our first cup of tea. I had been looking forward to this afternoon tea, but sadly due to what’s mentioned above I wouldn’t recommend this to my friends.
