Quite honest, this was a huge disappointment. I recently moved to the area and while I am a custom to noon tease at the Ritz Carlton, the San Francisco, or the Peninsula I was hoping that the Langham could measure up and at least one of the aspects right. However, that was not the case the stones were room temperature at best. The butter on the little ham sandwiches was kind of frozen. The bread was not fresh. It crumbled as did the charcoal bread. It crumbled to me it did not measure up to hold the weight nor the taste of the egg salad And the cinnamon scone dry although I know scones are known to be dry. It was exceptionally dry and nothing was warm absolutely nothing and we had the first sitting at 11. I’m disappointed and then when I saw the check which had a service fee of $37 and I was encouraged to tip on top of that that was a lot and Again I don’t mind. I was really excited but in all honesty I’ll transparency very disappointing. It was hard to pay $248 but I did the tea itself. The TI chose them. The chai was exceptional and my friends Gray smooth flavorful nice to the scones that weren’t hot but other than that the service was was it wasn’t their fault they just didn’t have enough people to meet the demand and, I saw people who arrived after me receiving their food sooner that did not bode well with me either. Thank you.

We wanted to enjoy this so much but it was hard to overlook the quality and quantity of the food and tea provided. Nothing was memorable and in fact most of the items were quite dry. Left you wanting something for flavor and to help with the overall theme of dryness. The overall decor and view were beautiful but for 90 dollars (plus service fee) you can definitely get more bang for your buck.
