Homage

Enchanting Tea Experience with Impeccable Service

Upon opening the doors to Homage at the Waldorf Hilton, it’s clear that they've turned tea time into story time with their Beauty and the Beast themed afternoon tea. The staff, dressed reminiscently of the beloved characters, perfectly match the whimsical setting where roses glimmer under cozy lights and an enchanted harpist delicately strings Disney classics. This is not just tea—it's theater, especially with heroes like Shawon leading you through the magic. He does so with seamless charm, expertly guiding guests through a medley of themed teas and enchanting treats, all while making every moment feel like a personal performance.

But as much as the atmosphere enchants, it's the dedication of the servers that really steals the show. Whether assisting guests with dietary preferences or snapping souvenir photos, individuals like Shawon and Olga bring warmth and attentiveness to the entire experience. They entertain with spirited engagement while remaining effortlessly professional. Food presentation dazzles, though certain savory selections may pale in comparison to the visual feast. While occasional lapses in service—like prolonged waits—attempt to undercut the magic, they’re swiftly recovered by quick smiles and thoughtful touches. Ultimately, your dining is less about mere taste and more about tasting inspiration, as Homage successfully transforms simple afternoon traditions into pages taken straight from a fairytale. — Clarissa Cuisinier
