    Very cute decor, obviously a lot of thought and care went into this space. Unfortunately, the food and service didn’t match the quality of the decor. The bread was stale and the taste of the food was really just average at best. No one checked in on us throughout the meal. We felt very unwelcome. It was a disappointing experience, as we went there to celebrate a special occasion.

    Excellent High Tea! Only issue is service was slow to start, they let us know ahead of time they were running late and they had to seat us 15 minutes after our reservation, that was fine, but then it was another 15 minutes (so 30 minutes after our reservation) before we got any food or drinks, despite giving them our tea order the night before (as requested). So that was disappointing. After that, great! They brought us our food and tea, everything was delicious, and they were very lenient on our leaving time (beyond the extra 15 minutes from the late start), so that was all good. Just wish the start was more prompt!

    This was such a lovely tea room. Decorated so beautifully, with tea and treats that were both satisfying to the eye and stomach. The staff made it such a nice experience for us and with everything for such a fair price, we will definitely be back.

    Had a late afternoon grand Vanderbilt high tea service. Wonderful ambience and decorations made this such a nice little retreat. Tea was brewed perfectly and the sandwiches and scone were delicious (try the scone with the clotted cream, raspberry jam, and the lemon curd together - perfect combination!) Staff was amazing.

    Very inflexible reservation policies and overall not worth the price for even just a classic service for 2. Would recommend either getting a more premium service for more people or just go alone on Friday for something more affordable.
