    Our server was impeccable. very knowledgeable. There was a family next to us but one person in the party was extremely loud and disruptive. Tainted a very quaint evening for me and my wife. I did not wanted to ruin the moment, but wished someone would have said something to assist him with toning it down. I highly recommend the Bronzino. We also ordered the pre fixe. Great price for the food, service, and ambiance.

    Although the restaurant was a bit busy, with no seat untaken when we first arrived, the noise and atmosphere was still relatively quiet and calm. I was not sure what to expect as I have only had afternoon tea outside of the US. The food, the tea, and the staff were all wonderful. The food was especially good and presented well with no finishes overlooked. I did order a more savory dish in addition to the full tea service. The chicken and leak pie was absolutely delicious and I highly recommend trying anything that might sound appeasing to your palet. Lady Camellia is highly recommended. My daughter and I will be back soon!
