Great tea selection & attention to detail. The food was well balanced and the chefs have an innovative take on the High Tea classics. Most importantly; everything was really tasty! Appreciated the holiday theme. Service was intuitive & extremely hospitable; although as a relatively frequent guest of the Ritz Carlton, that is their gold standard. Highly recommended! Looking forward to this experience next year.
