A big obsession for me has been having an afternoon tea similar to the way I had it in England. It's been quite a while since I've found a good one, but I was able to get one at Proper Rose Garden in Katy, Texas.
First of all, this place was nicely decorated and had a pretty good selection. It is more of an Asian tea and small bites place, but hidden in the pages of its impressive menu, we found a Proper Rose Garden Tea Set. I have to talk about this menu item for a bit because it was truly impressive, starting with its not so cheap price.
At $59.95 dollars for shared tea, this was difficult to justify for two people. So price wise, it was totally up there. I think it would have been perfect for, maybe, three or four people, but for two, it was a hefty price. However, it did have a good amount of food, including cucumber sandwiches, a choice of tea for a shared pot(I believe we had the Rose Garden Tea), a variety of little cakes, two scones and a choice slice of a regular cake. We even had some food to take home.
Service was impecable at this place. We were hesitant, at first, because it took a bit to be acknowledge and seated. We did find out they were understaffed, and still managed to do nicely, given that the place had a good amount of people.
In all, I was impressed with the food and service, although, I would skip the Garden Tea Set unless I had a larger group. Other prices were not bad and the food was pretty good.
