Enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea, perfect for catching up with a dear friend. The restaurant is light, bright, and cheery. The tea sandwiches and cakes were delicious and just right for nibbling and conversing. Our waitress was very nice and attentive, but not intrusive, and we did not feel rushed. The noise level was low enough to hear each other easily. Parking is along the street or with the valet.
