🤮 1/5 - After hearing about the Tea at Son & Garden for quite some

After hearing about the Tea at Son & Garden for quite some time, I decided to splurge and treat my daughter who is home from college for Spring Break. To say that this experience was a disappointment would be an understatement. For a fixed price of $110 for two, we sat at a basic table in a serviceable room decorated with flowers on the ceiling, while, to quote my daughter, a "TikTok soundtrack" played. We were waited on by a completely disinterested server who brought us the "Holiday Tea Set" which, on this, the first day of spring, stubbornly featured a Christmas theme, complete with gingerbread men and candy cane decorations, and reindeer and Christmas tree figurines, all somewhat worse for wear. The set-up was, at best, perfunctory and uninspired. The pastries and sandwiches were delivered in a small painted chest of drawers that had seen much better days, and not in a shabby chic kind of way. The tea came from a selection of tea bags, not itself a bad thing, but for the price the merest hint of ceremony would have been welcome. We each received as a favor a tiny teddy bear which appeared to be vacuum-packed into a tiny plastic tote. As to this last offering, which is basically a throwaway from a dollar store, I suspect most would prefer not to have to deal with finding a way to dispose of it in a sustainable way.Based on what we had heard we gussied up for a special occasion. This optimism was not rewarded. Everyone there was having what looked like ordinary lunch dishes, wearing everyday, even shlubby, clothes. My point being, the hype (and the price) is "special occasion", but the truth is "standard diner in the Tenderloin, with fake flowers". There is no doubt that the price has the special occasion hook built into it because the tea sandwiches and patisserie were fine but neither next level nor abundant. It would be a service to future patrons if the restaurant offered the Tea on a more limited basis that allowed the focus to be on the special occasion instead of shoehorning it in as an afterthought to the daily lunch rush on a Tuesday. Perhaps then it might begin to merit the price.It's worth noting that I ate dinner at Son & Garden the week before prior to going to a concert at the Great American, and was seated next door. Maybe because it was dark, but that was a completely different experience, with engaged service, excellent food and cocktails and a sophisticated ambiance. All in all, we were overcharged for an exceedingly mediocre experience and I was very disappointed as I had wanted to treat my daughter to a special occasion. Next time we'll get cocktails at Zuni.
