Review of Hotel Crescent Court, Dallas

If I could give a negative star rating, I would. Today my friend and I went to the Rosewood Crescent Hotel for our much anticipated afternoon High Tea experience. The service was mediocre at best and the food was absolutely DISGUSTING. Our first course was a plate of four tiny sandwich type items. Imagine stale bread with some creamy 'stuff' spread in the middle. The bread was so stale that it was barely chewable and the staleness also added some extra 'flavoring' to the creamy spread. Let us say that one can get better bread at Walmart. The second course were some lemon and strawberry scones. Only the lemon scones were edible. By that I mean that I was able to swallow them when washed down with tea. The third course were four small dessert items that were overly sweet and absolutely nothing to rave about. I suggest whoever created these food items and management taste their products before inflicting such products on customers. If the Crescent Hotel would like to rank themselves as an establishment for fine dining, they should make it FINE. This was only a reminder of most fine dining experiences to be had in Dallas (or should I call them NOT FINE dining experiences). Everything this afternoon was a sad attempt at imitating an English High Tea experience. From all my travels, I can honestly say that this is the worst high tea experience I have ever had. The only thing high about this experience was the price of $40 per person excluding taxes and gratuity. Do not recommend and will not come back.
