You don't come to the Peninsula for the food. You come for the "experience." The experience of lining up in this insane line that starts a little before 2pm every day. Yes, every day. The experience of sitting in the lobby of a fancy hotel--right next to the grand entrance. The experience of getting to say you had high tea at the Peninsula.
I really should be nicer because Lauren and I had a nice time. Half the time there was a live quartet, which was a nice touch. But sometimes you barely noticed it because it was so noisy in the lobby. I have to commend the staff, though, because we were well taken care of. The hot water refill kept coming. We were not rushed to give them the table. I really appreciated that. Well...we paid enough to sit there, so... lol.
I guess if you've never been to the Peninsula for high tea and walk in with proper expectations, you could enjoy the experience for what it is.
