    It was fine but not great. You are essentially seated in the lobby with no real view. The pastries and tea were very good and most of the sandwiches were fine but uninspired. At afternoon tea in the uk you can reorder sandwiches. Here they said they would see what they can do and that the sandwiches were pre counted for each party (though one type was terrible and there were just 2 egg salad for 5 people)They did up bringing more but make it awkward. All things considered we had a nice time but I would not go again for tea. We have had very nice dinners I. The dining room.

    We had a lovely experience at the Valentine’s themed tea from start to finish of our afternoon tea. The staff were all very kind and professional while they brought out our drinks and treats. We thoroughly enjoyed everything they brought out, with a great variety. The atmosphere was also wonderful — would definitely recommend if you would like to treat yourself or someone else to a fun experience!

    This was such a wonderful experience for my coworkers and I. The ambiance and table decor was beautiful. Service was excellent as well. We were a little disappointed in the charge though. It was our understanding that what was listed on the menu is what was included in the $55. However, it seems as though the “featured drink” listed was an additional charge that we weren’t made aware of until we got our check. One coworker didn’t get the drink as she is participating in dry January but was still charged. We also expected a little more for the price. While the setup was beautiful 1 small serving of each item for $55 was a bit surprising. Overall, I paid $93.50 ( a 24% gratuity was automatically included) for this experience & while enjoyable, it definitely didn’t meet the $100 experience.
