At
first,
everything
with
our
visit
seemed
to
be
going
well.
Ms.
Teapot
was
adorable.
The
decoration
was
adorable,
and
it
was
about
what
I
was
expecting,
with
cute
china
and
old
fashion
teapots.
The
selections
of
teas
were
also
quite
extensive.
The
waitress
was
extremely
polite
and
got
our
tea
out
quickly.
With
the
first
cup,
we
started
having
problems.
Tea
was
mediocre
and
very
much
on
the
weak
side.
We
then
asked
for
cream
with
our
tea
–
and
were
given
a
bowl
of
coffee
mate
creamer
cups
(like
you
would
expect
from
fast
food).
When
we
asked
for
cream
or
half
and
half,
we
were
told
they
didn’t
have
either.
Wait…what?
This
caused
mass
distress
with
my
little
sister
–
who
doesn’t
drink
tea
without
dairy.
When
we
asked
for
milk,
we
were
told
the
owner
was
out
sick
and
no
one
did
the
daily
shopping.
They
said
they
would
try
to
find
some
milk
but
no
promises
there.
At
this
point,
my
little
sister
was
worried
she
would
be
drinking
water
at
a
teahouse.
She
tried
drinking
the
tea
straight
but
couldn’t
do
it.
Thankfully,
she
stopped
in
the
most
amazing
pretzel
shop
a
few
stored
down
and
they
saved
the
day
with
half
and
half
(check
out
The
Pretzel
Place
–
amazing).
Now
we
had
a
little
dish
of
half
and
half
from
another
restaurant
and
were
good
to
go.
First
course
was
one
scone,
a
small
piece
of
cinnamon
bread,
and
a
tiny
dish
of
fruit
(all
fitting
on
a
tea
saucer).
Mediocre
but
about
as
I
was
expecting.
After
that
was
a
salad
course
–
credit
where
it
is
due,
the
salad
was
great
and
came
with
a
delicious
quiche.
Servings
were
a
bit
on
the
small
size
compared
to
what
I
was
reading
on
reviews
but
we
just
all
assumed
they
were
covid-sized.
Things
were
then
concerning
when
the
main
sandwiches
came
out.
For
three
non-vegetarians
(I
am
going
to
get
to
our
vegetarian
in
a
moment),
we
had
three-quarters
of
a
ham
and
cheese
sandwich
on
a
plate,
cut
into
quarters
and
one
and
a
half
croissant
chicken
sandwiches.
Considering
the
other
courses,
would
have
been
more
appropriate
food
for
one
or
two
people,
maybe?
We
thought
most
of
the
meal
would
be
this
course.
Nope.
The
normal
sandwich
was
just
a
cheap
cheese
and
ham
sandwich
but
it
was
okay.
Though
again,
credit
where
it
is
due
-
the
chicken
salad
was
very
good!
But…then
there
was
our
vegetarian’s
experience.
Before
I
go
further
–
let
me
make
clear.
Reservations
were
made
over
a
week
in
advance
and
they
were
told
we
had
a
vegetarian
with
us.
We
wanted
to
make
sure
there
wouldn’t
be
a
problem.
My
sister
was
very
excited
–
curious
to
see
how
their
cucumber
sandwich
would
be
or
whatever
cute
vegetarian
sandwich
they
made
for
her.
Instead…she
got
a
grilled
cheese
sandwich.
A
simple
grilled
cheese
sandwich
you
would
expect
in
a
kid’s
meal
at
a
quick
restaurant.
At
this
point,
we
were
mostly
done
but
trying
to
be
polite.
There
was
no
way
the
experience
would
be
recovered.
Dessert
was
a
cheap
small
piece
of
cheesecake
and
chocolate
chip
cookie
(that
they
weren’t
for
sure
if
it
had
peanuts
or
not).
I
half
expected
with
a
peanut
allergy
to
not
be
able
to
eat
the
cookie
but
we
weren’t
expecting
them
to
tell
us
they
weren’t
sure
what
was
in
the
box
of
cookies.
Box?
You
mean
to
tell
me
the
desserts
weren’t
made
there?
Nothing
shocked
me
at
this
point
and
the
experience
was
just
becoming
laughable.
It
was
not
a
$30
a
person
experience
($40
per
adult
with
tax
and
tip).
My
sister
left
defeated
at
the
experience,
Maybe
things
are
better
when
the
owner
is
not
sick
but
this
was
our
experience.
Mediocre
tea,
no
dairy-based
cream,
mediocre
food,
and
treatment
just
made
this
a
very
sad
experience.
If
you
want
a
high
tea
experience
in
the
Cincinnati
area
–
I
recommend
you
skip
Ms
Teapot.
