    This was a wonderful high tea experience, as always. We were surprised to find that tea is no longer served in the Georgian room during the afternoon, but enjoyed the cozy atmosphere of the side room turned “library.” The music was a bit loud and we were glad not to have been sat in the lobby, but our server was an absolute delight and we had great time. The food was amazing.

    Delicious food, bread itself was manna from heaven. Service was really good, knowing what different cognacs on hand would have been helpful. We were seated in uncomfortable booths. The whole place was super loud. Hard to hear the server and ourselves talk. Our reservation was at 5:30pm and it was already packed. Go there for the food, and ignore the loudness. Would go back for sure.
