    A beautiful experience. The scones and sandwiches were delicious, along with the wide selection of tea.

    Go for the atmosphere, not the food. Such a disappointment. Tea was hot and delicious but sandwiches mediocre and desserts barely touched. The festive feelings of friends celebrating, ladies dolled up in flowered hats and birthday toasts makes the occasion. Maybe once to say you’ve been there, and savor the surroundings. Oh, and unlike many teas I’ve enjoyed, a glass of champagne is a very pricey extra to the $125 basic tea service.

    Though expensive, nothing compares to the high tea experience at the Palm Court. They are the standard for all others. You will not be disappointed. We have been many a time and the food, service, and attention to detail is top notch. Our server was lovely. We were celebrating our daughter’s graduation and they went out of their way to make her feel special. The room is to die for.

    The service was abysmal. This is a nice atmosphere for afternoon tea but the waitstaff in the Palm Court had a “could care less” attitude which was surprising considering the price tag. My daughter’s nut free tea service made her throat itchy, resulting in me having to give her Benadryl. When I asked the server, he disregarded our concern. My stomach was queasy after the meal. Overall, this was a disappointing and I would go elsewhere.
