Welcome to the Ritz!
Let's do tea!
Pinkies up!
I had the Lemon Verbena (don't recommend, but then again, I'm not much of a tea drinker).
But Dave had the Passion Fruit and Orange which he really liked.
Don't mind if I do.....
This one was my favorite of the pastries.
Dining on cakes and tea sandwich while listening to a live harpist.
Cost: Traditional Tea is 67 pounds/person (including tax and tip, this ends up being ~$92/person). You can also choose to get champagne with your tea; if you do, then the charge goes up to 89-94 pounds/person depending on the champagne you choose.
Verdict: This was super fun. It was a high end, delightful splurge, but not something you have to do before you die. If you do decide you want to go, make reservations well in advance (at least 4-6 weeks; longer if you have a party bigger than 2 people). Also, make note of the dress code - women should wear dresses, skirts or similar and men should wear jackets. This is enforced. Something we learned..... the Ritz is not affiliated with Ritz Carlton. They are two totally separate companies. There are only 3 Ritz in the world: Paris, Madrid and London and they are all privately owned by three separate people/families.
