We had the most MARVELOUS time at The St. James Tearoom! It was a first visit for us all and we were all impressed with the delicious food, tea and magnificent service! They were able to accommodate our dietary needs as well as being wheelchair accessible! What a fantastic experience! We highly recommend a visit there for an out of this world experience!
Ive been coming for 4 years and at least once a month for past 2 years. I absolutely love this place. The effort into menu & esthetic, the food is devine and the wait staff are so darling and always so lovely and polite! I look forward to it every month!
At your scheduled time, which was 630 for us, they ring a bell and you head down the hallway and greeted and taken to your room. We were in the Pemberly room. They close it off with curtains so you have your own private area and it was so nice! Turned off our cell phones and had a nice relaxing hour and a half conversation with lots of laughter and reminiscing. They brought out the three tier platter, 1st teir is the savories, 2nd tier is the bread and 3rd is desserts. The Hong Kong salad that was a perfect size, the cucumber avocado tea sandwich was just the perfect bite, the meatloaf sandwich had an onion jam with bacon and a hint of spice that was just right, then we moved on to the meatball and potato skewer which had spices that made us want more. Lastly was the fluff pastry with the brie and apricot inside. It was a great ending to the 1st flight. Moving on to the scone and ube milk bread. The scone with clotted cream and blood orange curd was the perfect combination of sweetness and that ube bread was so fluffy. 3rd and last flight was the dessert flight. Those desserts were excellent. My absolute favorite was the mocha hazelnut dacquoise. The cookie was crispy on the outside with a chewy center which the perfect dollop of hazelnut spread on top, chefs kiss! The Italian rum panna cotta with salted caramel was my second favorite and I dont even like custard like textures, but that flavor was out of this world! The rhubarb gooseberry tart was my least favorite. It was a little too tart (haha) for liking. Our server Elijah was absolutely amazing and kind. We have a friend coming from out of town next week and and have another reservation to bring her. We had such a nice relaxing evening this evening. Thank you for a wonderful experience.
Top marks for all categories! We always come here to celebrate big events. Usually our anniversaries. The staff is always amazing and knowledgeable. The tea is always hot and dreamy. And the food is some of the best. This place never falls short of expectations and is never snobby either. One thing I can't stand is pretentious restaurant experiences and this has never in all the years of going been that. Come one, come all (except your newborn baby), relax and enjoy a very serene and humbling moment of tea time with family and friends.
I've been here a few times. It's a well thought out and creative experience, from the menu to the decor to the staff outfits. It's a lot of fun and it's evident a lot of care and attention goes into every guest. The menus are tasty and align well to the themes. Sometimes they get bold with the tea pairings, and while it can be a miss, it's great to try something you wouldn't have otherwise. The staff is very professional and whoever writes the scripts does a great job. If you're concerned about being a solo diner, they give you a little booth-room to yourself and generally leave you be unless you signal for the next pot of tea or they want to check in. It's pretty peaceful, but you can hear the booths around you so it doesn't feel super isolated.
