Treasured Times Teahouse, Boulder City, NV

Comments:
They had a nice chef's lunch that is very satisfying for a male customer who wants more than finger sandwiches. The lunch menu changes weekly. When we visited we had a hearty cup of soup (my husband had a free second cup!),a cheese scone,an assortment of fresh fruit, a pot of tea, and chocolate chip cookies for $14.75. I tried a special tea that was smoked over pine needles. It was very nice of them to say that if I did not like it they could brew something else. I love to experience something new without fear. They had private rooms for special occasions which were very nice and cozy.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

I made reservations for my husband's birthday based on the reviews. It was WONDERFUL! The sandwiches & cakes were fresh & flavorful. There was a huge choice of teas. We also had quiche that was out of this world. Miranda & Greg came by the table to see if we were happy. We were!! Don't miss this place. It's GREAT !!

I made reservations with the Market Tea Room because of the excellent reviews! Carolyn, the chef, came to our table to thank us for coming. This was the best 'High Tea' experience I've ever had! I have since been to the Brown Palace High [sic] Tea in Denver and it does not even compare to Carolyn's! I've been telling everyone whose going to Vegas to go there.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

I visited this tea room because of the escellent reviews. I would return again because of the excellent service and delicious food. The owner, Carolyn, was so very helpful and pleasant. She went out of her way to serve us a high [sic] tea even though we arrived when it was really too late and near closing time. Her chicken salad is unbelievable. All the food is prepared fresh by Carolyn and is served by her wonderful staff. Our hostess, Nicki, was very attentive and friendly. Without a doubt I would recommend this tea room to anyone who enjoys wonderful food and authentic Devonshire creme. The reviews don't do it justice!

Comments:
My sister and I are avid tea takers, always seeking out the best tea rooms whenever we're in the same state together. Translation: we are extremely picky and critical of tea services. While this intro may seem verbose, it is necessary to properly accentuate our review of the Market Tea Room. To state it simply, this is now one of our favorites! Carolyn, the owner, was most gracious. She offers an incredible selection of tea. My favorites were the Black Forest and the Lychee green tea. We all enjoyed our experience at the Market Tea Room. Considering our group was comprised of varying levels of tea-takers (first-timers, occasional goers, and of course, my sister and I – the “tea junkies”), this says volumes. Needless to state, the Market Tea Room is now included as a “must do” for me, whether it’s taking visitors for tea, or dropping in for a quick lunch (I am in love with her Butternut Squash Soup and Chicken Salad Sandwich). Now, if I can only get Carolyn to open up shop in Summerlin…

Very unassuming location, but wonderful tea selection and the food was amazingly tasteful and authentic (especially the devonshire cream for the scones). Hats off to the chef. Went with little girls and they were able to accommodate with dress-up boas and skirts. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

Comments:
My friend and I went in yesterday with the idea to just have tea and scones and check the place out. However, after stepping foot inside and smelling the freshly baked scones, we realized we were more hungry than we thought. When the new owner, Carolyn, who is a professionally trained chef, personally greeted us and told us about the soups du jour, we decided on sandwiches and soup as well as tea and scones. Everything was very delicious and we will be back again and again! Too bad she is still suffering from the reputation gained by the previous owners. Do yourself a favor and check her place out. Everything is made fresh daily depending upon available ingredients.
Would you go back? Yes, can't wait!

Comments:
I have gone to this tea house for the last 2-3 years. This was the only one that was open on Sunday that serve afternoon tea. I last visit in the Summer of 2007 I dine with my niece and we love it. In the past the scone and sandwhich was OK but the new owner the everything (everything) was excellent. I really enjoy the food and the service. I have gone back and introduce my family and friend. I'm from SF so I miss good afternoon tea. My second best is The Four Season the ambiance is excellent but the food is good/fair.

Comments:
The chef herself came out to greet me (I'm guessing it was one of those family run places, very personable) After finding out that I was from the UK, she outwardly admitted that she was nervous about me eating her food! She gave me the run down of the menu, it seemed that she made everything from scratch and had daily specials depending on what was fresh from her supplier. I ordered the High [sic] tea for three which came with a Cream tea option (my standard measure on authenticity) we each got our very own teapot with our choice of tea blend. I was amazed at the choices we had. Chocolate dipped spoons, quiche, bread pudding, lemon curd pastries, cucumber sandwiches, roasted turkey ..... so much more and all made with such care! You could taste every little ingredient that she had put into these fillings, the combination of flavors just amazed us.
Would you go back? Hope so, but we don't live nearby.

Petrossian Lounge at the Bellagio Hotel, Las Vegas, NV

Visited: December, 2007.  Meal: Afternoon tea.  Type of tea served: Teabags.  Served: In a teapot.
Tea: Fair.  Food: Fair.  Service: Poor.  Appearance: Poor.
Comments:
This is NOT a tearoom by far. It is very much a bar, with the section for afternoon tea located in the back, requiring you to walk past a bar overcrowded with patrons. Further, as their tea is held in a bar open to the casino, expect unwanted second-hand smoke with your tea service. Speaking of tea service, what we experienced was anything but. The teas, although served in a teapot, were in bags too small for the pot. The sandwiches were so-so, scones too dry, lemon curd sub-par, and desserts mediocre. Being a first-class resort, I expected so much more from the Bellagio. Why offer tea service when you clearly aren't the least bit interested in sticking to tradition?
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

Comments:
After experiencing the ultimate in high [sic] afternoon tea in Great Britain and at the Four Seasons Hotel in Las Vegas, the Bellagio should be rightfully embarassed to call their mis-service, high [sic] tea. The pastries were delcious, I will concede that, however the finger sandwiches were atrocious. I have tasted better sandwiches made with Underwood sandwich spread from a tin. The service was severely lacking and I felt the busboy was a better server than our "waitress." A word of advice to the Bellagio, when serving food, your staff should not have sleeves which dangle into your customers dishes. It is very unsanitary and just not classy. Finally, the location, awful!!! The Petrossian Bar is just that a lobby bar between the hotel reception area and the casino- so, you hear everything and the serenity that is associate with afternoon tea is completely lost. Not to mention the hoards of nosey and classless tourist who stare while you are trying to enjoy your "experience." Bellagio- take a piece of advice and drop your tea service as it is not worthy of your pathetic efforts.
Would you go back? Sorry, no.

Comments:
Of all the places I've had tea, this was the most elegant, fanciful place yet. The food was magnificent. You can choose four tea sandwiches out of a selection of eight. Sandwiches included caviar, prosciutto, cucumber with salmon, lobster, etc. The desserts were to die for. When the food came, all the other patrons in the lounge wanted what we had and made reservations for another day. I would visit Vegas again just for the tea.

Comments:
Since it was the Bellagio, I suppose I had higher expectations for their tea room. Afternoon tea is served in the middle of their lobby, which makes it very noisy and busy, and I found this to be very distracting for having tea. The food was nice, however, and there was a harpist playing. But the service felt rushed and perfunctory. I would not return there.

I must say that although the Bellagio is an exquisite hotel their tea service left something to be desired. The service was very slow and the food left much to be desired. It isn't what I expected from such a great hotel.
