"The holiday tea at Local Jones was extremely disappointing. I knew it was going to be expensive $55 each) but decided it would be worth it for a special holiday gift for my friend. The space is basically a bar area within a hotel. I realize that the holidays are behind us but I expected something a bit more festive. Classic rock was playing at a volume that interfered with easy conversation, and it really didn’t fit the vibe of a holiday tea. The food was okay but certainly not worth $55. It is a fixed menu with 4 small savory items and 4 small sweet items per person. I failed to notice that most of the savory items had meat which I do not eat. The server did ask if we had any dietary restrictions but I thought she meant allergies. This was my fault, but I also expected more diversity of selections. The scones were amazing. The other two sweet items were good but not great. When the server checked on us and I said I couldn’t eat the savory items she said they could have made a substitute if I had mentioned it earlier but there was nothing to be done at this time. Again my fault, but again this was $55 per person. Also, we were never offered champagne which the website description suggested was included. It was also disappointing when we received the bill that service charges for using a credit card and to support the kitchen staff had been included. After including these charges and a tip for our server our afternoon of sipping tea, listening to classic rock and enjoying two scones set me back over $160. Definitely not worth it."
