English’s Quintessentially British

Sorry to hear that this restaurant has closed. We’d taken newly arrived guests here direct from the airport several times and been very pleased. Even friends from the UK were happy with the food and service.

Cold and hungry after a movie we went looking for a place to eat. This is the first time we’ve been here. The place looked classy and felt comfortable. service was quick and the food was really good! My husband had the steak and chips.
Finishing this review after a long time, I can only remember it was cozy and romantic. I wouldn’t mind going there again.

I’m pretty sure this place is closed for business which is unfortunate.
Went there a few months ago and really enjoyed the tea/​food and the concept. Service was pretty slow and almost exasperated at times.

*This review is of their high tea*
The restaurant was completely empty when we got there an hour after their scheduled opening on a weekday morning. We were pretty much given the opportunity to pick where we wanted to sit. I like dining al fresco so we went out to the patio to choose a table. What a disappointment it was to see that none of the tables had been set and that each one was pretty filthy! I then picked a table inside by the window to at least feel like I was eating outside lol. The heat was blasting in our corner of the restaurant but they opened the sliding doors to the side patio which made our spot more bearable to sit in. Our table consisted of two uneven tables pushed together, so one of the tables was higher than the other one. Also, there were specks of «stuff» on the tablecloth on my side, maybe even on the silverware if I recall correctly. Oh, and for pretty much the duration of the meal, I got to watch one of the workers spraying and scrubbing and setting each of the tables outside on the front patio. Couldn’t they have done that earlier?
As for the food and tea, the only things I really liked were their sweets, even though they had the «just came out of the refrigerator» wet look lol. I was told that the desserts they serve look pretty much like the sweets from Costco. Well whatever, I liked them and I am never able to say that about the desserts from any afternoon tea place, Costco treats or not: p As for the sandwiches, I really did not like them, especially the one with apple in it. They seem to have different sandwiches on their current online menu, so maybe those are better than the ones I had, which were all just very blah (or terrible like the apple one). I don’t remember their scones being bad but they weren’t memorable either because I can’t remember what they tasted like! Definitely not the best ones I’ve ever had or even up there. And then the tea, tea is tea to me. I got some fruity one but I remember not really caring for it all that much.
Service was fine; the rest of the experience, not so much for me personally. Glad that I tried it, but I’ll splurge a little more and stick to the places on the Strip if I want to do afternoon tea in Vegas again.

Review solely on their English’s cream tea ($ 20 pp from 1030a-​6p).
Located near Blue Martini in the alleyway where Capriotti is, came in on a Sunday afternoon with a party of 3. Read prior reviews and wasn’t expecting it to be as busy but it was. We were asked if he had reservations and because we didn’t, we had to wait about 15 – 20 minutes. So just in case, I’d recommend making reservations especially on weekends. Crowd dies down around ³⁄₃₃₀ so if you go in then, you should be alright.
I opted for the green tea tropical which was served immediately with a side of honey, sugar, and cream. Our tiers came in not too long after with the 1^st tier filled with sandwiches, second with a plain scone and chocolate chip scone, then third with chocolate cream puffs, banana bread, and lemon macarons. 2^nd and 3^rd tiers are unlimited and you’ll be given a side of whipped cream and house made jam.
As far as the tea sandwiches, the smoked salmon and cucumber sandwiches were pretty good but the egg, and what seemed to be an apple sandwich were meh. I’m not sure what was going on in that apple sandwich but it tasted like a weird combo and the egg sandwich tasted a lot like mayo. Scones were actually good. Not too dense. The whipped cream was perfect with the chocolate chip scone and the jam was perfect with the plain scone. Top tier of desserts were okay but nothing to really rave about. They’ll provide a box for any leftovers you have if you’d like to take them home.
As far as service goes, it was actually good! We were expecting it to not be so great from what others have said but our server did his job well. He came in every now and then to make sure we were okay without being overwhelming, filled out waters, and refilled our teas. Plus, everything came out in a timely manner.
Overall, my first high tea experience in Vegas was not bad at all. And for $ 20, I think it’s pretty worth it. Place is cute and it’s very fitting for some time with your girlfriends.

Very inviting atmosphere. Has a charm to it. Came here on a monday afternoon for a surprise corporate luncheon. Entrance was kind of weird.
Food & service: Servers were very attentive. Always refilled drinks. After taking drink/​entrée orders they brought out croissants and another unnamed bread. Both tasty. I ordered the pork belly. 3 1inch thick pork bellies braised in honey apple over mashed potatoes. Great meal!
Reason why it got a four, bringing out food was really slow. Even for a big party, the place was almost empty. Great selection of beer on tap, if i wasnt at work i would have ordered.

A longterm resident of my ‘to eat’ list, brought back to mind by our British server at Citizens just one week prior, it was largely an afternoon movie at Town Square that led to lunch at English’s Quintessentially British and although nothing I experienced during my ninety minute meal is about to replace fond memories of a late summer trip to London the combination of tea service and a few UK classics proved quite competent in a room overlooking the festively lit shopping center below.
Seemingly misplaced on the second story of a mall, with a menu featuring several scratch made plates including everything from jams, gravies, and even heavily whipped cream all made in-​house, it was just moments to 1:00pm that I say down at a small two-​top near the kitchen door and although my blue haired server seemed a tad laissez faire despite the room being nearly ¾ full it was only moments after finally having the chance to place my order that the first of two pots of tepid coffee arrived — the price included in the cost of $ 20 tea service from which unlimited scones and cream were about as authentic as it gets Stateside while neither the tea sandwiches wrapped in stale bread nor the paltry petit fours were worth the calories entailed, the cheesecake particularly awful with a sourness and texture not unlike simply eating an ounce from Philadelphia straight from the tub.
Fairing better than the majority of the 3-​tiered service it was not long before a main course of Shepherd’s Pie arrived alongside $ 3 worth of glazed carrots, and although some might quibble that the medium-​ground protein loses a bit of its luster when so heavily browned I personally found the light use of seasoning and ‘open-​face’ plating a breath of fresh air in allowing the natural flavors of the meat to shine, a notable lack of mint more than welcomed as it tends to overwhelm in all but the rarest case.
At this point informed that no other petit fours were available, despite seeing other varieties on tables elsewhere in the room, It was in one more cranberry scone alongside a second pot of coffee that I decided to invest and unable to resist sticky toffee pudding an $ 8 plate was delivered with hit-​and-​miss results — the house churned ice cream surprisingly creamy despite a flavor best described as ‘sugary’ while the cake itself was well spiced but just a bit too «sponge,» the exemplary sauce simply not presented in large enough quantity to fully saturate the springy base.

Proudly pronouncing their in-​house production of nearly everything on the menu with prices far more favorable than Ramsay’s underwhelming Pub at Caesars, English’s Quintessentially British is undoubtedly amongst the more interesting dining options at Town Square and although no one is going to mistake it for the sort of cuisine being served at even the most pedestrian gastropub in London there is little doubt a good meal can be crafted here for those looking to scratch a specific culinary itch.

Round 2
Date 11÷30÷14
Time: 6:00pm
I don’t know if this is a part of the holiday season or poor management but…
1. After 24 hours this gastro «PUB» still has a dead tap
2. The restaurant is out of burgers
3. The restaurant is out of steak
4. The restaurant is out of cheese
Overall I’ll give this place one more shot in the near future but I’ve knocked this down to 3 stars for questionable inventory management.
(Servers are polite, but still dissatisfied with the lack of inventory)
More reviews to come…

My boyfriend and I stumbled upon this place by chance and it is absolutely lovely. Right across from Capriotti’s on the 2^nd floor, the food is reasonable, prices solid and it has enough of our interest to come again.
Granted service was a bit slow since the servers seem to double as bar tenders. (more reviews to come in the future)

English’s is an interesting conundrum. With a name like English’s Quintessentially British, I was picturing a more quaint cottage feel instead of the ultra modern and sleek décor. They have a nice patio overlooking the center of Town Square and they could really do a lot with this place.
Unfortunately, there are just as many things to dislike about this place as there are to like.
The pros: decent drink selection, nice patio area, pleasant staff and relatively fair priced happy hour food.
The cons: some of the food was decent, but is was a crapshoot and nothing blew me away flavor-​wise.
Overall, I would recommend English’s for happy hour only and I’m still curious to try their afternoon tea.

I’m sad that there are so many negative reviews about this place because my experience was just fine! The restaurant was completely empty at 5:30pm on a Tuesday, and by the time we left at 7:00pm, only one other set of people had arrived. I do wonder how they stay in business?
Service was very nice– we mentioned that it was chilly in there because the front doors were open, and they shut them and turned up the heat (and returned to inform us of it). Our water carafe was kept full, and the server checked on us frequently.
They have a pretty good Happy Hour, which made for an economical bite. We had the Olde English, which was basically like a small pastry roll with sausage and hard boiled eggs, and the Salmon Crostini, which is a lettuce wrap with salmon and cream cheese. They both were very tasty little bites and the presentation was quite nice. I hope that this is the standard for English’s these days, and if I’m in the area again, I might stop in!

This establishment is one of my favorites. I try to go at least every other weekend for tea and scones in the morning. When their sliding doors aren’t open, enter from the side and say hello to the knight: p
There are different tiers for the high teas:
1^st (Savory) — Smoked salmon and dill crème fraiche, parsley dressed freshly boiled egg, minted shaved cucumber mousse, cheddar cheese and branston pickle
2^nd (Unlimited Scones) — Large cranberry scones and plain scones with house made strawberry jam and heavily whipped cream
3^rd (Unlimited Sweets) — House made petite-​fours, macarons, and pastries. Selections vary.
If it is your first time doing this then I suggest that you get the third tier since you will get to try everything. The parsley dressed boiled eggs, scones, and petite-​fours are my favorites. I didn’t care too much for the smoked salmom and dill crème fraiche. Side note, I’ve also had the Countryside breakfast and it was alright.
When one of my favorite servers is working, she draws cute, little designs on my teapot :)
They even do a children’s (under 12 years of age) afternoon tea service which is similar to the tiers above except in much smaller sizes.
I have also been able to come here for lunch a couples times and some stand-​out options are: Chicken Lettuce Wraps, They were delicious and it’s a make-​your-​own ordeal. Bangers and Mash. I also had the most delicious pork belly entrée with mashed potatoes that I cannot recall the name of.
Definitely give this place a try.

It was a nice restaurant. I liked the High Tea! I have heard about this place and wanted to try it. The food was up to par. We were a big group and they loved the scones, we had finger sandwiches, desserts and ofcourse the varieties of tea. The presentation of the food were very cute. With a big group they will add 20% gratuity.
The waitress was very attentive as well.

Every time I’ve stopped by English’s, this little British pub has been a ghost town. Few patrons seem to frequent English’s even on a Friday or Saturday night during their reverse happy hour from 9PM — 11PM! Maybe it’s the location? This trendy little restaurant is located at Town Square on the second floor just down the hallway from Blue Martini.
First off, I can only attest to my experience for English’s Happy Hour. The reverse happy hour is a big draw, as are the appetizers that are priced just right. I’ve ordered the cheese plate at least 3 times, and let me tell you, that cheese plate is the bees knees. It’s a bargain for only $ 5. It comes with around 6 different slices of artisanal cheeses that are packed with flavor. The cheeses are accompanied by crusty bread and a couple of dipping sauces. By the way, according to the menu, the cheese plate only comes with 3 varieties of cheeses, but I’ve always received at least 5 variations each time I’ve ordered it.
I wouldn’t recommend the chip curry ($ 3), and the beer ($ 5) can be hit or miss. It’s pretty common to hear that they’re run out of a popular type of beer for the reverse happy hour. Also, during my last visit, they admitted that the beer was not cold. WTF? How are you going to serve lukewarm temperature beer? We ordered beer anyways and sure enough, the beer was about room temp.
Service is extremely slow and like other Unilocalers have mentioned, almost nonexistent. Our waiter literally forget about us and we quickly learned to order 2 drinks at a time so we wouldn’t have to wait around for him to come around. To make things more frustrating, the place is empty so it’s not like there’s an excuse for slow service. The staff likes to gather around and chit chat.
Sorry English’s, but your delicious cheese plate can’t save you!

Enjoyed a lovely afternoon of Prosecco, tea, scones, sandwiches and petit fours!
(Note: the Prosecco was not part of the High Tea service. We added that on as a celebration toast.)
The sandwiches included salmon and cucumber sandwich triangles, egg salad on a mini toast and a pickled something or other (I don’t remember what it was … but I liked it.)
The scones were served warm and just seemed to melt in our mouths. The outside was crunchy like a scone but the insides were soft and melt-​in-​your-​mouth. Scones were served with a side of clotted cream and strawberry jam.
The little desserts on top were very tasty! In fact… I highly recommend starting with the dessert tier and working your way down. The mini crème puff was our Favorite! Take a bite and Savor it. I took a bite and pretty much stopped the serious discussion we were having about what I don’t remember but I remember it was a «heavy» topic and I just said «Oh Wow!» and made yummy noises so that everyone else stopped what they were talking about and took a bite too. And then we continued on with the conversation. Anyways… The macaroons were quite amazing too! These little guys are packed with sweetness so really you only need 1 little one. Crunchy on the outside and silky sweet on the inside. You can ask for more little desserts. We didn’t but our waiter brought more macaroons for us anyways… so we had a couple to take home later. :)
Service was good. Just right for us since we wanted to hang out and chat and catch up with each other. Our waiter checked on us periodically and refilled our tea pots with hot water and cleared away dishes and glassware when he noticed we were done with them. He wasn’t intrusive and he wasn’t in our face all the time. So… just right!
Oh… and the High Tea with goodies… $ 20/​pp + tax + gratuity. I think that’s a good deal. We left very satisfied! :) My guess is we’ll probably put this on our rotation and do this again later in the Fall when we can sit out on the patio. (It’s too hot right now.)

What we tried foodwise, was good.
Caesar salad– expected a tiny salad, since it says $ 3 on HH so we each ordered one. It was huge. Enough to split. Needed more dressing & had a few aged edges, otherwise very good.
Poutine was also very good. Liked the spicy bangers. This is one awkward dish to describe in words. :)
Ordered the bread plate, but were quite full when it came. Those pretzels with honey mustard were special, I would order just the pretzels with dip, if it was offered.
Our problem was service. Our server, Jenn, was really good considering that it looked like she was the only server during HH. I counted about 13 tables for just her at one point. Though I give low marks for customer service, it’s not to take away from her. She really handled herself with grace, did the best she could and never appeared frazzled. Very professional. She was hustlin’!
Luckily, we were in no hurry. Took about 25 minutes to get water/​order drinks; 15 to order food. Food came fast… I wanted to order another seasonal brew, but never saw anyone to order from again until plates were cleared. When the check came, everything but drinks were priced differently than the menu stated. I mentioned it, they «fixed» it, yet the prices were still different than what the menu stated. False advertising is not cool. I felt really mislead, so ya not a great ending to what was surprisingly good food.
I just felt kind of bad for the server & hope mgmt can get it together. Could be 5 stars here! Need smaller portions on happy hour; as a customer, I’m not expecting a huge portion on an HH menu.

Definitely the place to go to for a «tea party», or host a babyshower, or a get together!
The price for the «tea party» is $ 20 a person, which was a bit pricey for us for tea and a tier of baked goods… We decided to have a cocktail party for two instead during our visit!
We came right before happy hour which starts at 3:30pm — food, wine, beers & well drinks half off! Our waiter was so sweet and accommodated our every need! He even charged us their specialty cocktails as well-​drinks, so we took advantage .
Now the food — to start with, we had the Salmon Crustini which was delicious! We also had the Brown Ale Cheddar Spinach Dip and the Chicken Lettuce Wrap. The dip was ok, sooo much dip for one order and I was all cheesed out! The lettuce wrap was great! Chicken was marinated in a coconut curry and it was served with the yogurt sauce.
I also noticed that their «table cloths» were paper! Not so fancy if ya ask me…
Overall experience was great!
One day I’d like to try the tea menu, just to see what that’s about!

This is such a cute place! We came here for a tea party and decided to have a cocktail party instead! Lol
Happy hour is 3:30 — 6:30 & we took advantage of it! Our waiter Sean was a doll! He put our cocktails as happy hour drinks even though it was not included as a happy hour cocktail.
The food was pretty alright. We got the Salmon Cristini which was really good! I could have ate those all day. We also got the Cheddar Spinach Dip which was mediocre. There was way too much dip & not enough ciabatta. We asked for more ciabatta & got charged extra for it. Then we got the Chicken lettuce wraps. Those were delicious! It comes with curry chicken with this yogurt dip — omg to die for!
Overall, the service was up to par, The food was good, & the drinks were the best. Definitely recommended!

I don’t really know much about English cuisine, but the good we are here, I wouldn’t say is representative of that, because I want to say some of it was Indian food. But regardless, let’s get on to the place.
The environment at night is pretty nice. We sat outside, the weather wasn’t too cold yet, and so I was able to have a nice relaxing night with my party eating some appetizers and some real food. The inside was fairly empty and the lighting was dim, but it’s suppose to be a bar I guess you could say, so it’s understandable.
Our server was really nice to us and even joked around with us, especially me since I didn’t want to drink like the rest of my party. It was all fun, so poking fun at me wasn’t a big deal to me at all. Our appetizers came first and it came within a good amount of time and our entrees came a little after. The only thing our server forgot were my friends’ drinks and we had to ask her again for them and then she remembered. She did however keep the water refilled quite well, and I did not have any complaints there.
I liked this place enough to want to come back with my friends. I wouldn’t personally come here alone or with other friends because their entrees were priced more than I would want to pay for, around $ 15, but their happy hour drinks and appetizers were reasonable for me. If you want something different and quieter in town square, give this place a shot!

A couple of us girls decided to come here for Tea Time. I love the fact that they have tea time during lunch hours instead of just late afternoon (1030−6pm). Yes, I understand that tea time is an afternoon thing, but when you eat lunch at 12 then dinner at 6, tea time just wouldn’t fit into my eating schedule. =p
Service was so slow at first. We were seated right away but it took about a good 20 minutes for a server to even come and take our drink orders/​food orders. A couple of other guests left because it was that slow. Once we decided on the $ 20 English’s cream tea (all you can drink tea and eat scones/​desserts with not all you can eat sandwiches), the tea and food came out about 10 – 15 minutes later.
The sandwiches were ok… nothing to run home and write a review about, but the scones (which are all you can eat) which we only got the plain ones (but cranberry ones are supposed to be included) were good especially with the strawberry jam and whipped cream. The scones are fairly dense though so you can fill up on those easily. The 3^rd tier of sweets was ok. Macarons were way too sweet but the other two items were decent. I was fairly full by the time I touched the 3^rd tier so I may not have given it a fighting chance.
Service was a bit slow and we didn’t get asked to try any other teas besides the one we ordered. Overall it was decent… I would think about possibly coming here again.
