We were there yesterday for a friends birthday. $700 for four people. The four bites of sandwiches they give you was bland. The scones were so hard with premade cream and jelly. Service was slow . They charge you gratuity when you make a reservation so the service is sub par. Absolutely would not recommend this place to anyone. Please save your money as the experience will make you sick. One of the worst high tea experiences ever.
The teas were good. Too many sweet items. We ask for more savory item but would not give them to us, yet they let us try a differenttea. My daughter got the kids tea/food, but it was not very good so I had to switch with her. They sat us 4 at a very cramped small table, yet there were other 3 person party at a roomy long table. My niece had to stop at another restaurant on the way to a show since the food samples were not the most filling for the $$.
Cute place to go for tea time and to feel a little fancy. We started with a glass of mediocre champagne, then moved into the sandwiches, which were also middle of the road and relied heavily on mayo/ cream. The desserts and petit fours were also okay, a bit sweeter than I expected. We were allowed one pot of tea each and ended up getting a third to split. The atmosphere was quiet, relaxing and perfect for catching up with friends. Our server was helpful and attentive. Overall, it was a pleasant experience with so-so food. I'd come back here again if a friend really wanted to go, but I probably would not initiate a visit on my own

Was looking forward to afternoon tea at the Langham. The ambiance and service were wonderful, the tea selection was amazing, (even though one of the teas was called the Palm Court which is where the Drake hotel serves tea) as were the scones, but the sweets and savories were a bit too fussy. Each one was a work of art - especially the Mad Hatter chou pastry —but by making them all exotic and complicated none of them stood out as special. Also the savory sandwich with melted cheese on top was very hard to cut.
Overall, however, it was a wonderful afternoon.
