   Mother’s Day brunch was set up like a super cheesy wedding in the ballroom. Sooo overpriced for the mid food.

   ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ If you're looking for a quiet escape with a touch of luxury, Afternoon Tea at the St. Regis on Longboat Key is an absolute gem. From the moment we stepped in, we were treated like royalty. The space is elegant without feeling stuffy—think plush chairs, fine china, and soft piano music in the background. You're right off the bar and lounge area so you still feel like you're part of the action. We went for the traditional afternoon tea service and it did *not* disappoint. The tea selection is extensive, with everything from classic Earl Grey to more floral blends like flowering whites and rooibos. I went with the lavender oolong- it is a MUST try. Now let’s talk about the food & presentation. An ode to the Ringling museum it is a sensory delight that satisfies both the eyes and the appetite. The finger sandwiches were fresh and creative and displayed on mini pedestals & frame. The scones? Tucked in a book- still warm, perfectly crumbly, and came with clotted cream and house-made jam. The pastry circus tray was a showstopper—macarons, caramel corn, animal cracker cheesecake and a cotton candy cupcake that I’m still thinking about. Service was attentive and kind without hovering. We never felt rushed, and they offered plenty of refills on tea without us even asking. Yes, it’s a splurge, but it’s totally worth it for a special treat, a celebration, or just a peaceful afternoon catching up with a friend. Highly recommend dressing up a bit—it adds to the fun! **Pro tip:** Make a reservation and try to grab a seat by the window if you can. The natural light and view of the Gulf of Mexico makes everything feel even more magical.

   Attended the inaugural tea March 9th at the Longboat St Regis with 2 friends. It was a great experience! Excellent choices of fine teas and took some home! Pastry chef and staff outdid themselves. A few minor kinks as expected on a first day. There was confusion as to if a signature cocktail was included or not. It was not and we still decided to try all 3. They were excellent hand crafted drinks and Ringling themed for the afternoon. Would love to return again soon! Cocktail should indeed by offered for the price.
