What People Are Saying About Lady Mendl's Tea Salon

Elegant Victorian tea room seats twice each afternoon, with five-course reservations available for bridal parties and special occasions.
20% gratuity was included for a party of two. Will not return.

the 5 course afternoon tea was $35. Typical high tea sandwich selection and only one was memorable. The others were either soggy or so so. I've had better tasting tea at more modest places than their signature tea. A 20% was added to our ticket for a party of only TWO guests while it was stated diefferentlt on their website. When we commented on that, the respond was that we coould talk to the owner but the owner was not there at the time. This place was way over rated. I will not return.
- Pros: Not crowded
- Cons: below average on many aspects
Best place in the city for "High Tea"
by messagingrobot at Citysearch
I just love this place. It's a great place for a bridal shower but also great just to meet a friend for tea. This experience is much more special than just going out to eat. All of the food is delicious as is the tea, and it's all served in a beautiful setting with the traditional "high tea" trimmings.
- Pros: Amazing tea and food in a beautiful setting
- Cons: This may be slightly expensive for some
Don't bother going with your kids

I diligently made a reservation 4 weeks in advance, and when we got there, they refused to let us in because I had my 18 month son with me. They assumed that all babies are loud and a disturbance to others, and would not reason that we will be curteous that IF he did get a little cranky, we will immediately take him outside for a walk, as we do at other places anyway. Is that considered discrimmination, especially they do not have any notices or signs that says no children are welcome?
I have been to Lady Mendl prior to this incident, and to comment on the food, it was okay. Edible, but nothing that excited me. Before I had scones at Alice's Tea Cup, I though Lady Mendl had the best.
