If you haven't done a tea I'd recommend this place for your first experience. The ambiance is outstanding and the service is excellent. The tea sandwich's and desserts were absolutely delicious. Definitely cannot wait to do this again! read more

Pavilion at The Langham, Chicago - Tea Rooms Near Me - Chicago, Illinois

My wife loves a good high tea and she's arguably a bigger fan of Wicked, so when we saw that the Pavilion had a Defying GraviTea, Wicked themed tea, I knew we had to make reservations. Having done a couple teas already in Chicago, The Pavilion really does it right. The area is spacious and bright. They have a harp player, playing many of the Wicked songs. The service was impeccable. The waitress had thoroughly reviewed our dietary restrictions and provided alternatives to substitute. Every item was exquisite! Since we came on my wife's birthday they sent her home with a small jar of her favorite tea. 10/10 would certainly recommend the Pavillion. read more

Overpriced. Based on the advertised images and description, I was expecting much more. The food mediocre and so was the tea. Nothing that was extraordinary that was worthwhile. The service was impeccable and so was ambiance-elegant and peaceful. They had someone playing piano but it was not for long. read more

A very merry unbirthday to me Had the most amazing tea experience that was Alice in Wonderland themed (which is my favorite movie of all time) and I just want to go back and relive this over again! The second you walk in the ambience is incredible and the service was really sweet! We started off with champagne, the tables were decorated so nicely, you just felt like it was going to be a great tea experience from the start! The only thing you need to choose is the tea which I went with the mad hatter (of course) my sister chose the fruity paradise, both teas were very tasty. The rest of the menu the chef chooses, we had potions to drink, shortbread cookies with jam that came as bubbles, then the food was very delicious the savory and sweet were just amazing to devour, we were even surprised with scones that we didn't notice but we got to enjoy them with the butter and jam that was on the table. Overall, this was a very high tea experience that was amazing and I would love to have the opportunity to do this again! :) read more

We had a lovely time at the Defying GraviTea! The food, elixers, teas and bits and bobs were delightful! We also enjoyed the champagne and cocktails. We did wait almost 20 minutes to be served and were sitting staring hungrily at our lovely water glasses for quite some time. We had a table for 8 and there were other large parties there making it pretty loud. When the harp player was playing that helped buffer loud carrying voices, but the sound does really carry. If you are looking for a whimsical tea, this delivers! We were surprised that the decor hadn't been updated to fit the Wicked tea theme. read more

There are lots of hotels that do high tea but few that do an outstanding one. Whatever time of the year you go, the Pavilion will never disappoint. From the moment you walk into the restaurant you are greeted with beautiful decor and staff that cater to your every need. We tried out their Wicked themed afternoon tea. The offerings were outstanding from the choices of tea to the food. Normally, there's always something that I don't fancy. Not with this offering. Interesting, tasty and the outstanding wait staff only add to the positive experience. It isn't cheap but it was worth every penny. read more

I'm the daintiest girl around (/s) so we all know I love an afternoon tea! I tried to change my usual black attire and put something floofy and pastel on for a nice little afternoon with a couple of my besties. We valeted our car with The Langham Hotel's staff and hustled inside for our Friday reservation. Valet was $28, kinda steep for 2 hours, but it's downtown. Plus the valet was so over~the~top friendly, opening doors and joking around. Nice staff! Up the elevator we went and over to the Pavilion. It's gorgeous! What a jaw droppingly, beautiful space. If you get a table along the window (two tops), there is also a view of the Chicago River. What's weird is, they had one person doing the hosting, serving, ordering taking, busing...don't get me wrong, she was great! But...they need more than one person. Service was soooooo slowwwwww. They had proprietary Langham teas and our server refilled them about half way through for us. Some impressive visual presentations for two courses, as well! This afternoon tea has a SECRET theme to it so does have some cool bits. But...aside from that, we were not impressed with this tea. We didn't eat so many of the items and were honestly left a bit confused by the experience. My friends and I have done a number around the country and the eats were not all fabulous. Most were really pretty and cool looking, but not necessarily delish. I don't remember having anything that I was like---Oh my gosh, this is so good! And for $170 each, we should. read more

One does so adore when an establishment recognizes that a hat is not mere decoration, but declaration. At the very threshold I was met by the most attentive door staff, who immediately divined my purpose--afternoon tea, of course! It was as though my attire whispered my intentions before I uttered a word. I was soon conducted into the Pavilion, a chamber adjoining a bustling lobby. From my vantage by the window--overlooking the ever-shifting waters of the Chicago River--I could both survey the world and remain delightfully cocooned in calm. Only a handful of tables partook of the ceremony that day, and thus the room felt like a hidden sanctuary amidst the din of downtown. My server, most amiable, guided me through the menu. I selected the Imperial Earl Grey, which revealed itself in splendid bergamot tones, subtle yet commanding. Alas, the cream I requested was long delayed, and by the time it arrived my tea had cooled. Still, I discovered that the Earl Grey required no adornment--it was, in truth, lovelier without. Alongside this, a sparkling rosé was included, light and charming, and I treated myself further to an Aperol Spritz, which lent a festive air to the affair. The savories arrived as though painted by the hand of a gardener-artist--so pretty I hesitated to disturb them. The Strawberry Fields, layered upon raisin bread, struck a surprising harmony of sweet and savory; the Lily Pad was delicate perfection; and the crab toast just bold enough without being overpowering. The English Garden was quite flavorsome, though it required a knife and fork--a slightly inelegant arrangement for tea service. As for the Evergreen, it offered a lovely tart crust and fine gouda, yet the asparagus and companions seemed shy, unwilling to sing as they ought. Then, the grand spectacle: the Tulip Garden. A cage of blossoms enveloped in curling fog, conjured by dry ice, like a vision from a dream. Within, a tulip of chocolate, decadent and rich. A most dramatic centerpiece, worthy of applause! As for the sweets: the Rose Macaron was unabashedly floral, perfume and sugar entwined--delightful for those with the palate for such things (and I do). The Battenburg Cake, a classic, was pleasing in its raspberry and white chocolate layers. The Daisy, unexpectedly a panna cotta rather than a cake, was a revelation--silken and refreshing. The scones, however, were merely adequate, and I found myself unenchanted by the buttermilk. Several dainties I carried home in a box, to be savored later. My particular favorites? The Strawberry Fields, the Lily Pad, the Battenburg, and the lovely Daisy. In sum: a most enchanting afternoon, though with opportunities for refinement. The tea cooled too swiftly (a warmer or second pot would not go amiss), and the Pavilion itself, while pleasant, could have been adorned with blooms and greenery to reflect its collaboration with the Botanic Garden. A pity, for such décor would have elevated the entire affair. Thus, I must declare: 3.5 stars for the tea, 4 for the service, and a gracious bow for the spectacle.

Underwhelming afternoon tea for the price. 1 glass of sparkling wine, 1 small pot of tea, and a few desserts that weren't good, super underwhelming for the price.

I brought my parents to the Pavilion for Afternoon Tea, and it was a nice experience! Just note that you make reservations and pay in advance. Their tea selection includes Gyokuro Asahi, Cassis, Organic Pear Tree, Jasmine Pearl, High Mountain Oolong, Imperial EArl Grey, English Breakfast, Darjeeling, Amour, and Lapsang Su Chong, as well as offerings of tea blends, herbal tea, and infused tea. We opted for the Organic Pear Tree (an organic young hyson green tea with essence of ripe pears), the Silk Road Blend (white tea with aromatic jasmine flowers and pink whole Iranian rose-buds), and the Wedgwood Jasmine Green (jasmine green tea with fresh blossoms). Bites included savories, scones, and desserts, and we had some Veuve Cliquot champagne. Definitely for dessert-heavy, and I missed the tea sandwiches. There was a harpist that paid both classical and modern pop songs - she was great! Service was friendly and welcoming, but the handling of the food and the pouring of the tea was a little shaky. The hotel itself is modern, chic, and beautiful, and once you take the elevator to the Pavilion, there is a hostess who is ready to greet and seat you. A great spot for dates, get-togethers, or just to enjoy the views!

This review is 5 stars for the gluten free experience of the Alice in wonderland high tea service, and it's about a 4.2 for the overall experience. I'll start with the latter: this is a beautiful tea experience perfect for kids and adults. It's really a lovely experience with exceptionally good service. It's reflected in the high price which I think is fair for the detail and care. I do think that the space could be more tailored to the Alice vibe. There are some amazing menu details which I'll get to, but they could do so much with lighting, decor, centerpieces, etc, which felt like I missed opportunity to take the whole thing up a notch. Incredibly, if you let them know you're gluten free when you make your reservation, you'll get an entirely customized menu and won't miss out on a thing. You'll have all your own items in the gluten free version. And they're quite tasty!!! The desserts especially are fantastic despite being gluten free. I was very impressed with how well prepared they were and how thoughtful they were about allergies. I don't think I'll have a reason to go back soon but I would recommend the tea service to anyone who's considering it. read more

Omg, who put less than 17 stars for this dining experience? I mean, definition of 5 stars. We had the most amazing time at chocolate tea today. And we were a super annoying table with a vegetarian, pescatarian and multiple allergies which we tried to downplay but our waiter/magician put on the front of his list. The food is amazeballs. Tea options so fun. Our 16yo guest - her birthday request - even got her own glass of sparkling non alcoholic wine which was fabulous according to us parents. No fancy grape juice here. The staff was on top of every single detail. And told the story of the meal with enthusiasm like it was their very first time. Issues? Yes. Too much food. Too much amazing food. We did take home a ginormous bag of creative treats which will take us at least a few days to finish. Maybe that is the cause for any less than a 5 star review... so much amazing food that you needed to carry it home in a shopping bag? Oh, lovely room. But it's the Langham, so duh. Need to pay in advance but trust me, it's going to be a way better value than what was charged to your card. read more

They have such beautiful ceiling decor, but unless you sit in the middle you don't get to experience the full view. The Tea Time experience was pretty but a tad overpriced - for $105 (per person) each person only gets three plates of small bites. I loved certain pieces from each plate such as the shrimp toast & pink swan, but other bites were just okay. Our waitress was lovely though - the food came out relatively quickly and she recommended their pear tea which was an amazing choice. read more

The place: Stunning. Gorgeously and meticulously decorated. You immediately are transported outside of the city. The harpist's notes permeated the air and we're incredibly pleasant. Service was attentive and helpful. The taste: for $170 a person (including 20% service charge and tax) I would expect to love everything. I think the portions were perfect. There was a puff as one of the first bites that was just a little lackluster - I believe it was a celery root related bite. Overall, the food was very good, somewhat innovative, but really the ambiance and service - those are hard to match. (To note, I've been to The Drake and The Peninsula, and I think I preferred the vibe here.) My face: I felt so fancy. $337 for two people. Mostly smiles, but also super zen, so went home and promptly took a nap. read more

I have 2 other High Teas...one at The Drake, and 1 in London and they far superior to this one. read more

Came here with a friend for their Alice in Wonderland tea and had a great time! Our server was great, explained the menu and worked with our dietary restrictions. He gave recommendations based on what we liked, which was appreciated. We both did the Mountain Berry tea, which was caffeine free. It was full of flavor and delicious! We also had complimentary champagne and sparkling cider, which I didn't realize came with it and was a nice touch. The food was all good, though a little on the sweet side. My favorites were actually the tea sandwiches, which were the first course. The scones were also good, though filling, especially the chocolate one. The desserts were so whimsical and that's where the Alice in Wonderland theme really shone through. They were all good, though super sweet and rich, so I couldn't finish them. It's a nice ambiance as well. They had a harpist playing, though we were seated towards the back so we really couldn't hear it (not a complaint, just an observation). Our server was pretty attentive with clearing plates and getting us refills. It is pricey, but you get a lot for the price and the food is deceptively filling (neither of us could finish it all and I did not need to eat dinner that night). read more

i attended the holiday tea today with my daughters and teenage granddaughters. We went last year and enjoyed it very much. this year was extremely disappointing. The food was mostly bad, tea sandwiches on dry bread with unappetizing fillings, odd flavored desserts and , some good scones. We were each served a pot of tea that quickly cooled and was never refreshed. We never saw our server after dessert and asked another for box in which to put the leftover scones. We then put on coats and gathered our things and the server we hadn't seen for at least twenty minutes appeared and asked if we were staying for cookies. We were obviously ready to leave and she offered them to go, then returned with a tiny box with very few cookies. There were six of us. The afternoon cost upwards of a thousand dollars. I will never go back there and would not recommend it to anyone. the two star I gave it was for the beautiful room and holiday decorations. read more

The ambiance was stunning when we walked in, but the service was sub par. We had booked the main dining room and they tried seating us in the lobby. We ended up getting a table in the main dining room, but a server didn't come to our table for 30 minutes. The server seemed very sleepy and we couldn't hear anything she was saying. Each course had a super long, unnecessary description. The food savory food was delicious, but unlike other tea experiences, they only serve you 4 little sandwiches on individual plates each instead of all you can eat. For almost $200 a person, this was disappointing. They kept the tiered serving trays in the middle of the table the whole time and didn't serve anything on them until the dessert course at the very end. They should bring these out at the end so guests don't need to look through them to see each other. The tea was delicious but got cold very quickly. They should have had warmers for the tea. The dessert was good, but they served a strange ice cream dish before the rest of the dessert. By the time the other dessert came, I was full and disinterested in more dessert. The courses were way too spaced out and not well balanced. Again, for $200 a person I expected better. Would most definitely recommend the Drake or the Peninsula tea experiences over this. read more

Came for the Holiday Afternoon Tea the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Service was lackluster, we were seated quickly and treated well. Hostess/waiter sounded like they were rehearsing lines when talking to us - which honestly I can't fault anyone for, but it was weird having descriptions of food recited to us throughout the meal. The quality of service petered out especially near the end, when it was clear they were transitioning to dinner service: nobody attended our table to refill the teapots, they cleared our plates and forgot our leftovers in the kitchen, waited for 10 minutes to retrieve our winter coats at the coat check, etc. Teas were (of course) the highlight. I ordered the Nutcracker, which had a fantastic aroma of hazelnut. I also really enjoyed the Silk Road, which was a white tea with hints of rose. Food-wise, all items tasted well-made and worked well on the palate individually. The overall vision of the meal, however, was lost to me. The savory petite "sandwiches" were mixes of sweeter curries and hams. When paired with fruit-infused scones and a round of desserts, the meal ended up being overwhelmingly sweet, and I left feeling bloated from the amount of sugar consumed. Unfortunately, at $150 a person, I cannot recommend this experience. On the surface, everything looks posh and polished (the Hotel is decorated stunningly), but really that's at deep as it goes. It goes well on an Instagram page, but nothing more. read more

For the price I would have hoped the interior to be more instagramable but it's kinda old and your typical hotel lobbed kinda vibe. The holiday tea though, was AMAZING.

Pro tip: instead of taking photos at your table, which has mediocre backdrop, get a photo at the sofa right outside the pavilion. The ceiling decor is cute and there won't be other patrons photobombing you read more

The tea was very good, the presentation was beautiful, the live piano playing was wonderful, the service was very nice and helpful (5 stars for the service) but the hefty price for mostly sweet dessert items no one could finish was not well spent (in my opinion).

We ordered The Langham's 'Spring Afternoon Tea To Go' through Tock on a Thursday for pickup on the following Saturday. My husband arrived on time at 11:30am for pickup where "it will be ready for pick-up at the bellmen stand." He provided the name for the order and the staff went to check on the order while he waited in the car. He checked with them again after 15 minutes and they were still looking into it. At the 25 minute mark, I called the hotel and someone said that it would be ready in 5-10 minutes and I provided my cell and email address for the restaurant manager to reach out to me. We finally received the order at 12:15pm -- 45 minutes late. 2 women placed the food in the car and did not even offer an apology. The Food & Beverage Supervisor, Kayla, emailed us the next day and offered to have us at the hotel for tea. We have a toddler and a baby at home, which is why we ordered "tea to go" -- I doubt other guests would care to hear LOUD renditions of nursery rhymes on repeat. So we declined their offer, but replied requesting a refund. We never heard back from Kayla, but did get a notification a few days later through Tock that we were issued a partial refund. It seems they completely forgot about the order and made it as quickly as possible when my husband arrived for pickup. I'm truly disappointed and cannot recommend Pavilion at The Langham given the poor service. A reply from Kayla acknowledging our request would have also been nice. read more

Very fancy holiday tea. The decorations were a very classy mix of pink, silver and white decorations. Many people came dressed in their holiday best. The experience started with an included glass of rose wine or non-alcoholic sparkling juice- a nice touch. The tea itself was delicious, we particularly liked the Gingerbread black tea blend. They brought out all of the food at once, I would have preferred to have it coursed out. But there was plenty of food! There were 4 savory foods, our favorite was the crab cake. The plate of 4 sweets was also delicious, we were surprised by how good the egg nog pudding was and liked the chocolate mousse. The panettone scone was a nice update on a classic with good texture and flavor. It loses one star because I liked LondonHouse's holiday tea slightly more and it was about $50 cheaper. read more

Ever since my husband and I got back from vacation in the UK, we go to afternoon tea as often as possible. The Pavilion at the Langham hotel is our favorite spot, and now we've made their Christmas tea an annual tradition. The service here is unmatched and while you of course expect amazing service at a hotel like the Langham, I still feel that they go above and beyond to make you happy, show serious concern for dietary restrictions, explain the menu in a delicious way, and accommodate requests and refills nonstop throughout your time there. The tea is 4 savory sandwiches, two kinds of scones with jam and cream, four desserts, then a final dessert, then a take home dessert. What's not to love about any of that?! This year I thoroughly enjoyed that half the sandwiches were vegetarian - goat cheese and butternut squash, and a classic cucumber, while half were a decadent protein - ahi tuna and duck breast. The desserts were amazing too! And the interim course of scones with clotted cream - to die for. And if you're like us and need more clotted cream, just ask, and you shall receive. This year they did a signature cocktail - the sugar plum fairy - and I was instantly hooked. Elderflower liqueur, prosecco, and pomegranate. It was a bubbly pink color and so very drinkable. I could have had a zillion, but since a glass of bubbly comes with the tea, I settled for one. I also had their delightful signature nutcracker tea, a warming blend of black tea and vanilla, and while I'm not a tea person, it was so drinkable. If you want a fun afternoon where you slow down, relish a little luxury, enjoy a little conversation, and just have an incredible time with your tea mates, make a reservation at the Langham and get a taste of something the British do so right! read more

My friend and I enjoyed a wonderful Afternoon Tea here. The day was gloomy, but the large windows and friendly service made the atmosphere warm and inviting. We made reservations easily on open table and I was pleasantly surprised that we got seated at a window table. There's not much of a view, just the surrounding buildings, but to me, getting seated next to the window is always preferable. Our server explained how the process would go, and explained the flavor profiles for the teas we were interested in. It was a Fairy Tale theme and each food item had a whimsical fairy-tale themed name. We opened with glasses of Tattinger--perfectly chilled. Everything was wonderful. I'm more of a savory girl so I liked savory plate better with egg salad, tiny sandwich toasts of duck confit, lobster salad and roast pork. The scones were also amazing, served warm and fresh. The clotted cream was so rich and the jams were by Bon Maman. The presentation of everything was wonderful. Plated so pretty and with care, it takes time to do this and I appreciated every little detail. The tea I chose was fruity and smooth--paired perfectly with our little treats. Even though the food items look small, it's paced so well that we left pleasantly full. We did not feel rushed and we enjoyed the harpist who provided some soft music throughout our visit. It was a wonderful experience and I enjoyed every bit. read more

I wanted to look for a refined and polished place to celebrate my anniversary and this place was perfect! We were seated in the center of a very large window just how I requested in the reservation. Although the view of the Chicago river was blocked by what I believe is the Trump Tower it acted as a nice shade from the 90 degree weather outside. Their menu changes from time to time, so depending on when you go, your food selection might be different from mine. However, I noticed that they do use the same overall concept for the food, but they would just change the flavor. So for example they always have something in a little cup for you to scoop out, a little hamburger sandwhich of some sort, a macaron, a tart, scones, etc. Food was beautifully presented especially the finger sandwiches. Out of all the afternoon tea places I've been to I would say I liked the finger food here the most. The cucumber sandwhich was not bland and had a sweet and savory flavor to it. The sandwhiches had a little charred flavor to it giving it a more interesting taste compared to the usual sweet and salty. The bbq pulled pork in the little hamburger bun was my favorite. The desserts here ranged from sweet to tart with all different kinds of textures. We had the vanilla and cherry scones. I don't remember all the desserts we had, but I do remember the delicious spreads they had for the scones. We had an apricot compote, lemon custard, and Devonshire cream (which they import from England I believe). The lemon custard was definitely my favorite to put on my scones. I had the Palm Court Tea and my boyfriend had the High Mountain Oolong- both went great with the desserts. They gave us many refills on tea and water without having to flag them down a single time. At the end they also gave us a small complimentary happy anniversary cake! They also boxed up our leftovers. Service was excellent, made sure we were comfortable while giving us time to ourselves. They make sure to ask you if you have any dietary restrictions and was very accommodating. Overall, I enjoyed the peaceful and relaxing ambiance while enjoying my food. read more
