I migliori ristoranti per il tè del pomeriggio a Cardiff By The Sea

We have attended many holiday buffets at Park Hyatt Aviara. We were happy that we were permitted to sit outside in a pretty, quiet patio area. The buffet room felt cavernous to us and not a warm, welcoming space. The food choices were very good, although we wished the hot dishes were hotter! There was a diverse selection of desserts which looked very elegant but did not taste great: many tasted the same. We missed the more traditional Xmas cookies, gingerbreads and homemade pies! Still a nice opportunity to dress up and celebrate, thanks for having us!

The lobby was beautifully decorated for the season. The tea options were wide with oolong to herbal all laid out with matching tea pots, cups and saucers. The sandwiches were a modern take on the traditional ones with a sweet potato and maple, salmon with pomegranate garnish, and a turkey salad brioche. The vanilla bean and fruit scones served with strawberry-blueberry jam and clotted cream were excellent. The desserts were also beautiful and delicious.

Our server was very attentive as well as the rest of the staff. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Their recommendations were great! Easy parking and no crowds.

The setup was great- not all tables filled at different times allowed for a more relaxed environment. There was no rush to have us depart after finishing our meal. Food was terrific, and service was very friendly and attentive. The $260 per plate makes this a one time event but worth it on that basis.

We stumbled upon this charming spot, a few years back and have made it a point to return at least once a year, if not more. We really enjoy this delightful place!
