"I avoid writing negative reviews, but I feel Roast should discontinue its high tea. It started well: the restaurant is lovely, and the table looked nice. Roast is a restaurant, busy and loud, w most patrons NOT enjoying high tea. There was no fine china in sight. Our young, nice waiter knew zero, nada, nothing about the teas served, about seven choices, all but two familiar to us. The tiered servers were plopped unceremoniously on the table w no explanation. The food was tasty, the tea remained hot; no one spoke to us again; we even had difficulty paying our bill. Roast tea was relatively inexpensive. However, 50% of high tea is the trappings, the attention, the pride and knowledge of product. All were lacking at Roast."
