Destination Tea Notes: Having ogled scrumptious photos of previous “high teas” at bistro VG, we come to this $40 tea expecting to be impressed. Unfortunately, though we arrive on time for our reservation, we wait ten minutes to be seated, 30 minutes before tea is poured and a full hour from our arrival time before food is served. Unsurprisingly, the sandwich breads have begun to stale, as if the tea trays had been assembled and sitting out for too long, and the frittata we guess would have been delightful were it not a deflated room-temperature version of itself. At this Mary Poppins themed tea, there is a festive excitement that you can feel, and hear, as the attractive vaulted ceilings and open spaces amplify teatime conversations. We do appreciate bistro VG’s interior of sophisticated white-on-white palette, artisan tea sets by South African designer Carrol Boyes, always delicious Harney & Sons teas and accommodating, friendly service.
