I had an extremely disappointing experience at Son & Garden. The customer service was downright awful, and the staff had an unprofessional attitude toward customers. The service was slow and dismissive, leaving me feeling unwelcome and frustrated. It’s clear that customer satisfaction is not a priority here. I absolutely do not recommend this place to anyone and will never return. Save your time and money—there are far better options out there!

This is just for the high tea service- the regular restaurant for brunch is a definite 5 stars. On to the high tea or afternoon tea set. We were very disappointed as we had high hopes. The ambiance is spectacular. 10/5. The food for the afternoon tea set was at best 1/5. Two of the three sandwiches were inedible. We took a bite and didn’t eat the rest. The cucumber was the only edible one. The salmon one was dry. The egg was a total joke as it had a layer of egg that might have been a centimeter high? It also stuck to the roof of your mouth. Desserts were ok, nothing to rave about. The scones looked so delicious when they were brought out, but unfortunately, they had too much baking soda or powder because it had a bitter after taste. I did appreciate the lavender in the scone, which made it unique, but we couldn’t eat more than a bite as it was not only bitter, but dry as well. I think my final draw was the fact that tea water was not hot enough to steep the tea bags. The tea bags were substandard tea. Tazo brand tea would have been better than the offerings here. Overall, I can’t believe I paid $130 for two for such a tea set. For this amount, I would have expected quality loose leaf tea at the minimum. I’m appalled that they charge this amount. I highly recommend going elsewhere for your afternoon tea. There are so many other places that do afternoon tea well. I’d suggest they stick to their brunch, which they do exceptionally well.

Really tiny space. The nicest spot wasn’t able to accommodate our party size & the restaurant wasn’t flexible to just move a table over which was a bummer. We ended up in the middle next to the doorway and all traffic in/out/through, again bummer. The enchanted tea set wasn’t anything special; dessert bites were mostly too sweet, finger sandwiches okay, samosa was good, but the scone was too sweet. Tea was just bagged so again nothing special. Service was fair - they came by and replenished the basics like water or hot water. They had a little birthday treat which was nice. The ambiance was interesting with the fake flowers on the wall and ceiling, but the giant tv wall really ruined it. I don’t think I would go back, especially not for the tea set. Kind of disappointed about the experience.
Son & Garden - Palo AltoResponded on November 2, 2024
Hi John, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience at Son and Garden. We’re sorry to hear that the seating arrangement and tea set didn’t meet your expectations. Our Palo Alto location is very cozy and intimate, and there isn’t a bad seat in the house. We generally assign the available option based on party size, and if your party fits the table you wish to have and it’s available at that time, we’d be happy to accommodate you. Our tea set menu is offered during brunch hours and is designed to complement the experience, allow customers to order more from the brunch menu if they wish to have more food. We’ll make sure to notify our team to better inform our customers about this. The tea set is served alongside finger foods and mini bites, but it’s not meant to fill you up if you're hungry. We strive to create a comfortable and enjoyable atmosphere for all our guests, and your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve. We appreciate your comments.
