The Raleigh Room

Good service and ambiance was perfect for a Sunday afternoon tea. Highly recommend! Jared made our experience extra special. A punch and a hug Our tea leaf fortunes said we will be back.

Afternoon Tea for my birthday! Had high expectations for this tea I was not impressed. We arrived early and had to wait to be seated. We asked if we could order anything to snack on or a drink and were told we had to wait until we were seated. We were also informed they don't serve food till 3pm. Once we were seated service was very slow we waited quite some time before the server came over. She explained the tea to us and brought us some water. Once she came back to pour our tea there was some issues with pouring she over poured and got quite a bit of tea in the glass. One of the glasses had to be dumped out and repoured. I honestly expected more from a high end restaurant. Not once did the server acknowledge the birthday. You could clearly tell that there was a birthday at our table there was a flower arrangement my friend gave me with a birthday balloon. People walking thru the restaurant said happy birthday. But not once did our server say anything. The tea was good. Some of the finger sandwiches were good. The desserts were okay. We were not too impressed with any of the offerings. I was looking forward to macrons but there none on our tier. There was some sort of chocolate cake that had white icing that was all dried out it was not visibly pleasing at all. The room is always decorated so beautifully! They had gorgeous flower arrangements! We have been several times and it always seems that the service is not up to par. I like the live music they offer I would consider going back for that! I probably would not go back for a tea! If I could recommend one thing please be more attentive to your guests. It was very annoying that they automatically add the gratuity and the serve didn't deserve 20%.

We were here on a Thursday evening which also happened to be Ladies Night. They had specials on champagne but I was drinking a glass of red wine so I can't be certain of the prices.The vibe is a super cool lounge/bar with wing back chairs, chaise lounges, black & white floor, portraits on the walls, a piano and large bar. There was live music by Ariana and they went excellent. Pretty awesome people watching, too. There were patrons of all types and ages so it seems like there was something for everyone.

All the best tea time vibes! Tea in the Raleigh Room at the @thecavaliervb is WORTH the drive! Stick around for dinner at @becca_cavaliervb and drink a table side martini (get the blue cheese stuffed olives!).

After dinner we stopped in this beautiful bar on the way out for a night cap. Service was excellent. The seating is cozy, comfy, and intimate. The entire place is simply beautiful! It's similar to a lobby bar, but slightly off from the lobby. Highly recommend stopping in for a drink!

Our group had a wonderful time here! We each had the afternoon tea with a glass of champagne. The chicken salad croissant and open faced cucumber were both hits in our group. The rockfish was too fishy for my friends, but I enjoyed it. We were not a fan of the ham croissant, it's sort of a pate pork. I do wish you could have more than one type of tea, but you can have as much of your chosen tea as you'd like. The staff was friendly, helpful, and attentive. I will definitely be back!

I had a delightful surprise when I discovered they had high tea at the historic Cavalier Hotel in the Raleigh room in Virginia Beach. It is by reservation only and the cost is $35 for regular tea or $48 if you opt for tea with a cocktail. I arrived and was seated to a pre-set table of my own. Beautiful music was being played by a pianist and bass player. I choose the Hibiscus energy tea with a great assortment of goodies. The food offered an array of choices and all were very tasty. I loved the fine tea set. It was very relaxing and enchanting atmosphere. The service was great. I highly recommend this to those who can appreciate it. Dress nice but hat not required. And the offer valet parking for $5 plus tip.

I can never go wrong coming to the Raleigh Room at the Cavalier. This week was oysters and champs. It was just calling my name. They held it at the garden. Today they served grilled oyster, Crispy Oyster, Oyster shooters and a Chef Jose walked around shucking oyster at your table. With 3 different pairs of champagne. Was a lot of fun with live music and good company. They have Valet if you don't wish to park on the streets. The door man is super friendly. Robert loves taking pictures of you by the entrance where a huge center sits. He will get the angle to your liking. They have many events going on. Check out the calendar. Can't wait for the next one.

High Tea should have been a good experience. It was not. Two grandmothers, two granddaughters, and a mother gathered for after Christmas tea. I was not the experience expected nor worth the price. Service was terrible. We didn't have the correct number of sandwiches. The server poured the water incorrectly so tea leaves were in the cup and didn't steep properly. We needed to ask several times for the champagne we ordered and for more hot water. The tea cakes were stale and the scones too sweet. We had to ask for clotted cream, jam & curd. I've been to several tea rooms for high tea and this was my least favorite.

Had a great time at ladies champagne night. TOO good of a time. Great champagne, great martinis. Beautiful place.
