Review summary

AI-generated from verified diner reviews
The Davenport Lounge offers an enchanting afternoon tea experience with "amazing" Royal Tea and delightful harp music. While customers appreciate the "great" tea and food, the service can be unpredictable, with some delays noted. The ambiance is charming, though noise can be an issue. Perfect for special occasions, especially when Terriell is serving.

    The Sunday tea was outstanding at Davenport however, the jazz the night before was miserable and lacked customer orientation. It seems Mr Davenport was performing outside the hotel at a private affair making his 8:30 pm appearance at the club null and void. We we told he would be at least one and a half hours late! Too be a "no show" at the jazz club so he could try to fit in another outside event "gig" was an insult to all the folks sitting on their hands waiting for the local entertainer! Not only should he be ashamed but his actions make the Ritz Carlton look like a second rate operation! Someone inform him he is not Dizzy Gillespie or Al Hurt!

    I celebrated my birthday with friends and family at afternoon tea on Saturday, March 22. The tea and food were great. We enjoyed the harp player and our server was outstanding!

    Food and tea were fine, but service was less than satisfactory. We had to ask for our tea, our food, and a tea cup, as one was missing. Had to ask for refills on both our tea and our water. Not impressed

    We had a lovely time at tea! Service was delightful, food delicious and tea excellent. The perfect amount of fanfare was made for the birthday girl.- can’t wait to have another occasion to celebrate!

    The worst tea I have ever been too!!! The food, service, and atmosphere were beyond bad. The table was too small that we had to put our food on the floor. We waited for over an hour to be served anything. They did not separate the tea crowd from the bar crowd. It was like being at a bar before a Saints Game. They had no parking onsite. They also gave themselves a 22% tip!!!

    This was an outing for the family for the holiday tea. I would not recommend the holiday tea, although I have dined and had drinks at the Davenport lounge outside of this event and it has been spectacular.

    Wait staff was less than attentive, tea was watered down and food was Ok. I had higher expectations for the cost of $90 per person. The atmosphere is beautiful but I had better experiences with high tea elsewhere in NOLA this season.

    In the past we have enjoyed the Ritz Carlton tea over others for many reasons. This years fell subpar. We could not vallet park as we did in the past. Had to park and walk a few blocks in heels and dresses. The food was old, could tell it had been sitting awhile. The waitress was kind but way to busy which made us have a tremendous wait from time to time. I miss the times of good service and for the price point along with this year's experience, may not return.

    Great service! We were disappointed that Papa Noel did not provide a sussie gift to our daughter as in years past. However, the kitchen was able to accommodate my gluten and dairy intolerance. The substitutions were so tasty!
