Tējo Tea House — Restaurant in Riga

High prices small portions, unwelcoming,unfriendly towards kids and customers. Unacceptable, rude, out of line behavior from staff to parents. Staff Simply must have manners to provide a service and that's it. Lecture kids from people they dont know or lecture their parents it's not what they are there for its staff to provide a service. Staff has nothing to do telling anything to kids as the parent is right there. Who is actually the parent? Staff hear me telling my kid what she wanted and over it goes to say it directly to kid after that's not necessary. I didnt wanted to stay after that Not a friendly place to go with kids. Do not recommend. Over that once I payed Staff told me you have 10 minuts after we close. Returns after 7 minuts to tell me you have one minut. We are closing. Like I already got it ...they should say that before one pays to better not order. Tables where with dirty dishes long time after dishes steam taken away but tables are not cleaned. The times I have been there it's almost empty I guess related to bad food, high prices and bad service. Cost almost triple than other similar places, actuallyit is priced as if it was better quality than it offers. Bad experience over all. Creme brulee disgusting poor thin serving was mostly crust. By looks was rotten not baked well, texture cuts. It's a way to deceive customers to put the small portions in big dishware, with a thin layer, lack of ethics what are we really paying for? For sitting in a place or for the food we buy ? I asked to be change the creme brulee as not well done, after one spoon you can see all liquid going out and milk cut crystals was looking awfull from the creme. Chef refused to change supposedly taste was fine they say we tasted and they brought it back to table the same one...so disgusting after we told them we will not eat that. Once they take it away they shouldn't bring it back who knows what they did with it. Well surely people could get sick from not well baked food and they dont care they sell it anyways I only seen this in Latvia. They didnt offer giving money back 4.20 for a not well baked creme brulee or past from ingredients, whomever is not a Chef could understand it's not well done by its looks, the person who is cooking there surely is not a chef, chefs dont act so awful as they understand theres ethics and hygiene involved. We left their fully rotten dessert and left. They best loose customers. It's their choice. Desserts overall lookes fine from outside but once you try are horrible. This time service with waiters was better, no tables available but one next to stairs is the worst place to set a table you see people shoes walking next to you up and down. Cooker acted wrongful stingy uncaring so not going back not worth it. I definitely do not like service at thus place but friends insist to go there and we think maybe this time will be better but theres always bad experience there and you dont see the value for what it is payed. Theres better places to go with way better service and much better food quality. Nobody is dumb to believe nothing is wrong on a very visible crystalized thin layer of not cream brulee it was like thick small pieces of something yellow with liquid going out. That's not a creme brulee, probably its not a "Chef" who knows who is preparing food there, whomever it is it's definitely not qualified to serve desserts without caring about quality on what's...

The teahouse is located in a lovely spot, nestled by the river. It's really cosy and I like the atmosphere of this place. However, I have several major suggestions regarding how tea is served. I ordered sencha, the Japanese green. The leaves were placed in a metal strainer in a cast-iron pot. I was not told how long the tea has actually has actually been brewing. I assumed it was ready, so I lifted the strainer from the water. But because the strainer was small, it left no room for the generous portion of leaves to expand. This resulted in an uneven brew, with some servings bitter in taste. No instruction was given as to how long the second and third infusion should last (but the water was provided).

In order to enhance the experience, here's what I'd do:

option 1: the staff takes care of all the brewing process

option 2: provide a (ideally clay, if it'sencha) pot with the filter built into the spout. Do not put the leaves in the strainer, just let them expand in the teapot. Then, provide an additional pot ("fairness cup") which I can then pour the tea into, once it's ready. Sencha is very sensitive to overbrewing. If you do it this way, the tea won't be overbrewed, the brew will be even and the leaves ile have enough room to expand. I'd go...
