Gordon Ramsay at the London West Hollywood

I realize that your birthday celebration has come and gone, but for future reference, I just had tea this afternoon for the first time at Gordon Ramsey at the London and I loved it.

The room is just so magical and absolutely perfect for late afternoon tea - you really feel like you are sitting in the middle of a gorgeous jewel box. The large banquettes are extremely comfortable and a welcome change from most tea venues, which either seem to involve tiny tables or sitting on a sofa and leaning over a low coffee table.

However, cheap it is not. We opted for the champagne tea, which is the regular tea with a glass of champagne. I believe it was $40. (And I seem to recall that without the champagne, it was $28, so the champagne must add $12). Parking is $8.

Still, if you are looking for a splurge, I highly recommend it. The service was spot on and very attentive. There was a nice tea selection and they kept bringing us not only fresh pots of tea, but new tea cups. The food was excellent - tea sandwiches, scones, clotted cream, berry jam, and a lovely tray of sweets.

Gordon Ramsey is definitely my new favorite afternoon tea place in Los Angeles.-COLLAPSE / REPLY (7 Replies) (by omotosando, updated November 5, 2009)
