A mix of delight and disappointment. The service is outstanding, welcoming and efficient. This was for my husband's birthday, and the staff went out of their way to celebrate him and make him feel special. The ambience is loads of fun, seating is comfortable, and you can feel like royalty. However, we ordered the Classic service, and the food was very disappointing. The bread for our tea sandwiches was dry, like it was a day old. The fillings were skimpy, very nice flavors but not enough to compensate for the dry bread. The scones were a bit more like biscuits than true British scones, and also a bit dry. And, the worst faux pas for me was that they served us with a cracked tea cup and tea pot. Cracked china is not healthy. And yet, they literally have hundreds of tea cups and tea pots to choose from; why use the cracked ones? We also ordered the special celebration cake to finish our service, and that was outstanding and very worth it: moist, delicious, and presented beautifully. This place might be lovely to experience for a first time, but I'm not sure I'd go back. But again, I truly thank the staff for their exceptional service.

My girlfriend and I had the Grand Heights experience. The dining area was decorated with vintage tea sets and furniture. The tea selection was extensive. We wanted to taste everything, but in the 90 minutes we only tasted 3 which were delicious. The little bites with the teas were delectable. We’ll definitely be back to have more of their tea collection!
