Perfection. The hotel is gorgeous. Beautiful gardens that we walked around in after our tea. I took my mother for her birthday. Not only did they make her feel special, they had incredible vegan options for me and a special kiddo menu for my five year old son. Absolutely lovely.

Wonderful afternoon tea at a posh hotel in Pasadena. Sandwiches and sweet treats were magnificent. Our server Margarita was so nice and knowledge about the teas being served. A definite nice birthday splurge. Everything was just lovely.

We had been here for tea in the past and the experiences used to be good. This latest visit was beyond disappointing. Upon entering, we could smell the chemical odors from the remodeling at the adjacent bar, and it lingered throughout the space. The service was not rude but very amateur. Then the food was truly horrific! What happened guys? My kid makes better sandwiches. The scones looked and tasted like plastic. Afterwards I was sad that I hadn't gone to McD's instead.

At $118 per person (because the tip is mandatory) the tea at the Langham is simply, robbery. Our table was tiny and uncomfortable. No place to put your purse if it can't hang from the chair and no suggestions or accommodations from the hostess who couldn't care less. For this elevated amount you get a lot of bread with translucent fillings. I could understand if the fillings were expensive but the cucumber sandwich had only a suggestion of cream cheese and the 2 thinnest cucumbers you've ever seen. Not even good enough to put on your eyes at a spa. In fact, Burke Williams has thicker cut cucumbers. it was my birthday and the two desserts they gave me tasted like freezer. Please avoid this swindle.

I am willing to pay the price, but for it I expected a more elevated experience. Despite a reservation for 4 adults, we were seated away from the main tea service area near a toddler tripping servers, swinging a tennis racquet, and stumbling around the tea area. Every table around us had young children at it. The main seating area appeared to have no children seated at the tables.

Loved the ambience and service here - especially the live harp music! Recommendation: The regular afternoon tea is more than enough food, unless you want to order an alcoholic drink. I ordered the Nobel tea, which includes extra strawberries and cream and another non-alcoholic drink on top of the regular afternoon tea menu. But, I actually wasn't able to finish the strawberries and cream because I was too full by then.
