This is a review for their monthly High Tea.
I believe it is the first Saturday every month at 1pm. You will need to call their reservations number to book your table.
I was so pleasantly surprised to find high tea in OKC. The Skirvin's dining room has a wonderful old world charm and the tea experience was great! (Note that I may have inflated the ratings because it is just so hard to find a lot of things in OKC, so 5 stars for the experience).
The selection of tea was smallish (I believe 8-10 flavored black tea, green tea, and herbal tea), but no simple unflavored options (you can request English breakfast tea, but it's not the fancy loose leaf kind). You can try different flavors of tea during your dine-in which is a plus!
Unlimited (I believe) tea snacks - today's selection included finger sandwiches, various flat bread pieces, savory pastries on the lower tier of the tea snack tower, sweets on the mid tier (chocolate covered strawberries, lemon bars, macarons, brownies), and choux pastry and deviled eggs on the top tier. There are also scones (American style) with jam, cream (not clotted cream) and honey.
Price was $45 per person, plus 20% gratuity, plus tip.
So I'll admit that this is a little pricey, and yes, the tea selection could be larger, and yes, the pastries could have been crispier or warmed, but come on, high tea in OKC is a great find! I've been to high tea in larger metropolitans but it's the experience that we are going for here, in a quaint old time hotel, getting dressed up with your girlfriends, sipping tea while there's live harp music playing in the background. I say go splurge and take your girls out to high tea (afternoon tea), and don't forget to wear a fascinator (my friend DIY'ed hers)!
