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.

Enjoyed the 1920’s theme. The food offerings do not pair well with vegetarians/vegans. My reservation clearly said ‘no cheese’ .. every sandwich contained cream cheese.

It was just Ok! We were seated where every time the lobby door opened we felt it. It was an extremely cold day. There were many other open tables but they said we couldn’t be moved. Sandwiches were good. Desserts and tea were “ok”. Server was attentive.

This was a birthday tea for my daughter. I was a bit disappointed no one noted her bday even though I think I had it on the reservation. There were no signs indicating where to go so we started in the restaurant and eventually found our way to where the tea was served thanks to the helpful hostess in the restaurant. Tea service was good. Scones were the best I have ever had. The caramel chocolate bite was bitter. Wish there were more savory items and a bit less sweet. For two of us with tax before tip it was $131. A bit pricey but was fun for a special occasion. We will consider returning but would come more frequently if the price was less😉
