Sausalito: High Tea at Cavallo Point?

I was looking for info about Murray Circle and noticed that the Tea Bar at the resort is serving high tea on the weekends. Anyone tried it? Anyone been to the tea bar there at all?

In other Cavallo Point news, I wish I had checked the site more often. They cooking class prices have moved into the reasonable category. When they started they were hundreds of dollars. Now for a mere $70 there is The Perfect Pie with Murray Circle Pastry Chef Ethan Howard ... their wonderful pastry chef.

    1. Low Tea at Saint Honore, Albany?
      Just saw a sign $7.50, pot of tea and 2 pastries.

        1. They're misusing the term, that's afternoon tea.

          Those class prices are a whole lot more reasonable. Kelsie Kerr used to be co-chef downstairs at Chez Panisse and more or less wrote Alice Waters's latest cookbook, The Art of Simple Food.

            Does anyone know of a place that does a good cream tea? I miss having large globs of artery-hardening clotted cream on my scones.

                    LOL. I had a tea party last year and the amount of butter and cream I went through before I was done was scary. However, I decided instead of clotted cream to use some good quality fresh mascarpone, and I thought it was just as good (and a lot cheaper and easier to get -- Cowgirl Creamery at the Ferry Building carries fabulous bulk mascarpone).

                  2. So . . . high, low, or afternoon -- has anyone been?
