I was extremely disappointment with my visit to your High Tea Lounge at Le Meriden. It fell short in several aspects. Firstly, the extended wait time before receiving our tea and food was frustrating. The quality of the food served was rather mediocre. The selection lacked freshness and most items were not up to the standard we had expected for the price. For example, the soup was cold, the pasties were icy in the middle, the fish on toast smelled so strong that it was unappetizing, the scones were thin and hard, the macaroons were chewy, and the chocolate covered strawberries were dipped in purple chocolate with green sprinkles. Despite having made a reservation in advance, it seemed to me...
The overall experience was good. The food was my least favorite part. It needs more savory bites and sandwiches. More food in general would make the price per person worth it. There is an Asian twist to the “high tea” which is fine, but if you are going to serve a scone then clotted cream must accompany it. The scone was dry. The sweet desserts to savory should be more balanced. We had sugar overload. But I gave it an overall good experience because we were seated in a comfortable private area and the teas were delicious and most of the desserts were good. Also, there is an automatic 18% gratuity for a my party of two. We had to wait a long time for the tea and food and also we had to walk t...
Two major issues. They don’t tell you that gratuity is automatically added, even for a party of 2. I missed this on the check and tipped an additional $30, so total tip came out to $56. The valet brought me the wrong car and never apologized for bringing the wrong car or for the inconvenience of the double wait time. I could have driven off with someone else’s Lexus. Other than that, the food was ok. Some of it was nice, others meh. Server Kendra was great though. Checked up on us a lot and explained everything. She was the only bright spot so at least hopefully she got an extra tip.
Good atmosphere, locate at hotel lobby. Food and drink not impressive. Tea favor way too light. Iced tea drink no favor at all. Food tower feels like it’s a combination of all different food from Trader Joe’s/Wholefood and placed together on the tray tower. Many flys around the lobby and visiting our table for food, very disturbing. The only PRO of this visit because it’s close in SGV, that’s all. Won’t go back again.

1. The area is open and anyone can sit and interrupt your tea party. It should be blocked off someway. Solicitor bothering with hand outs. 2. Fire alarm went off and everyone just looking around. No direction and Fireman arrived. 3. Cup was dirty and had to request to be cleaned.
The Mother’s Day Tea was really nice. We were greeted with a long-stemmed rose when we walked in, and we were seated right away. The food was delicious! I liked trying the different teas that were available. There was also a really pretty photo op that my mom loved.
I was disappointed with the tea and food selection. While the service was good, the overall experience didn’t meet our expectations given the price we paid.
The experience was enjoyable, but the price felt steep for the portion sizes.
