The Queen would have been appalled and I don't even think Victoria Beckham would have been even slightly impressed. If you are a restaurant that has afternoon tea service then you should know what you are doing. Clearly there is no British influence at Chalkboard as it was anything but the relaxing, lovely experience that afternoon tea is supposed to be. Living in England for a few years, I had several opportunities to have tea the way it should be. Gorgeous tea pots with high quality tea. An individual three tiered selection of finger sandwiches, mini quiches, and nibbles, a basket of lovely scones with clotted cream, jam, and butter; and a lovely selection of deserts. Don't expect to find that here. Tea is always a splurge. But it should be delightful and rewarding. We had to share a three tier, with two tiny sandwiches, 1 scone, 3 tiny deserts and a strawberry. No one was stopping in to check on us and refiling our tier. There was no refill on our tea. The most horrific part is that my daughter who doesn't like tea, she's 5, was not offered any juice, milk, hot chocolate or the like and we were then charged full-price for her!!! Seriously! We had tea at the Peninsula and the Ritz before this in Chicago. Well well worth the splurge at those locations. I WOULD NOT waste your time with this disappointing expensive endeavor. Did I mention the service was TERRIBLE! Oh and Happy Mothers Day to me.
