Review of The St. Regis Atlanta

Had tea today. Very different from the awesome tea...

Had tea today. Very different from the awesome tea we had there in October - the one I raved about to all my friends who in turn took their parents there the following month.

In October we received a warm drink ahead of the scones. There were 8 scones and plenty of jam and cream. The savouries were plentiful and separate from the desserts. The team was warm and friendly - it was just an overall different experience from today...

Today we were given tea, 3 scones and all the food (savouries and desserts) together on a smaller Tiered Tray. Much of the glamour and pristine attention to detail was missing. The staff/team was great and en masse but the quality of the food was NOT the usual (and I've eaten there many times). It was shocking. We paid $40 previously for something that I'd have willingly paid $75 but today it was $55 for what felt like sub par (not the usual St. Regis over the top incredible taste) food. I'm shocked. I don't know what happened.

Very kind gesture of macarons at the end of tea, wasn't expecting that. Very grateful as macarons francaises are our favourite but it doesn't make up for the lack lustre tiers with desserts and savouries shoved together. Not cool.

I will give it one more chance - maybe today was an off day.
