They have a nice selections of teas including herbal ones. I ordered my tea hot, tea of the month London Fog, definitely a great pick! My one friend ordered Peach iced, it was served in a pot with a large cup ir ice (and a second cup of ice). My other friend ordered an Arnold Palmer. Leone, our excellent server, checked on us a few times for refills. Nice relaxing atmosphere and definitely feel like you can take your time, and you need it with all the delectable bites! The decor is absolute lovely, including the bathroom! The food was excellent. Tea sandwiches all great with the chicken salad being our favorite! Scones, I ordered my favorite Cheese and Chive and a new one, Lemon Lavendar. I had the lemon curd with this one, so good. My friends had a few of the others too. Definitely the highlight of the bites. So much so, my friend ordered more to go as a bday treat (now in my freezer). The sweet bites were very good too. A cupcake that had a mango frosting with chili, yes chili, unexpected heat but quite yummy! Leone figured out it was my birthday and brought out the cutest birthday treat! A cupcake inside a cute "birthday" tea cup! Very nice surprise! Our server was Leone, so sweet and provided exceptional service!

We were served five different types of tea sandwiches, and every single one was fresh, flavorful, and delicious. The scones were incredible, especially the lavender lemon scone. It was perfectly baked and topped with the sweetest, most delicious frosting--it was definitely a highlight of the meal! The teas were equally impressive, with a wonderful selection that paired perfectly with the food. To top it all off, the service was exceptional. Everyone was warm, attentive, and made us feel so welcome from the moment we arrived. You're also invited to choose your own teapot & hat to wear. If you're looking for a beautiful spot for afternoon tea with amazing food, delicious tea, and outstanding service, I highly recommend this place. I'll definitely be back!

We were never rushed, and even completed the cute list of things to find around the room. It is not cheap, but all the high teas I looked at were about the same price or more.

I got a call from Elena and she was so awesome and excited to have us for the birthday. We are looking forward to the wonderful celebration!

Dream Come True definitely added their personal touch to the decor. When you walk in there is so much to look at and take in. It's magical! The hostess was very friendly and personable. She was very helpful with explaining the menu and helped me with my tea selection. The sandwich choices are selected for you which was different than any other place I've been to. I was able to advise on what I didn't like and was asked if we had any food allergies. That's always a plus! The sandwiches were good, but slightly bland. I think the egg salad sandwich could have used a little more flavor. The scone was not like a traditional scone, the consistency was more like a muffin, but still very tasty. Overall it was a nice experience, I would definitely visit again. Pricing was pretty standard for most tea houses, street parking available.

However it was a bright and sunny day, so the interior temperature was at least 80 degrees and fans were blowing. So not the ideal feeling for a delicate tea time snack. We got scones and crumpets with some tea service as well. The scones was delicate and crumpets were soft and delicious with the homemade butter and jam. The pricing was a bit on the steeper side of things, however it wasn't too outrageous for these days. Pamela's also has a small section for UK imported goods for the ones who are looking. I had a great time at Pamelas and they scratched my itch for tea time.

Mar'sel is one of those restaurants that creates memorable evenings out!…read more It starts with a magical setting--it sits perched on a hill that affords spectacular ocean views, and many of the tables look out at that view. And the vibe of the restaurant sets the tone that you're in for something special. The food is clearly the main event. The menu draws influence from a variety of culinary traditions, but it's ultimately the creative vision of their culinary team. I am most attracted to unexpected directions a skilled chef chooses to take their food, and I was spoiled for choice with things I was dying to try! The execution was highly skilled and the plating nothing short of artful--so gorgeous. The cocktail options also felt like choosing your favorite child, and the port menu after dinner was so fun. The service was also flawless. Our primary server, Jesus, was passionate and excellent--he seemed to know every detail of every dish and loved sharing that with interested guests. Everything was prompt, the right temperature, etc. Also, my partner is Celiac, so we need strict gluten free with no cross-contamination. This was no problem at all for this restaurant--Jesus skillfully guided us through the menu and it seems like the issue was communicated to the other staff, so everyone was on the lookout for my partner's safety. We really appreciate that, which makes the dining experience so much more enjoyable. We had a really incredible evening here and deeply appreciate all the work and considerations that went into it.

We ordered the burrata with tomato, diver scallops and artichoke flowers for appetizers. They were all tasty, my favorite being the Artichoke flowers. For dinner we had the Ragu pasta, pasta carbonara, and the fennel sausage pasta. Pasta made fresh and delicious sauce to accompany it. For dessert, we got the Warm banana jackfruit bread pudding with coconut gelato. Food was great, a little pricey in my opinion, but what do you expect?

Rather than dine at the pricier Mar'sel restaurant or the casual Nelson's, I opted to dine at the casual Catalina Kitchen patio overlooking the main pool. Food was delicious at generous portions & reasonable prices - I had the Superfood Salad with mixed endive, greens, beets, cashews, Goji berries in a zesty vinaigrette, plus French dip sandwich - delicious with shaved rib eye steak w/ au jus and fries - I could barely finish it. + i had a non-alky beer to wash it all down. Service was friendly & attentive. Afterwards, I took time to stroll around the property/grounds, taking in the breakingtaking views. Valet parking available for $15 with valididation - not bad for resort parking price point.
