The Afternoon Tea was most delicious! Two people in our group needed special care because of their food allergies. The Omni Wm Penn chef and cook staff went all out to accommodate us. The best part was Robert! Robert was our waitstaff and he was an absolute delight! He was polite, personable and made sure we had everything we wanted. I hope to return.
