    When I approached the hostess she seemed a little putout. I expected a better greeting being she is the first person you see. We were a little early and when we saw her again she was just as unpleasant as the first time . But when she showed us to our seat, and we reached the table she gave us what sounded as a general speech with a smile so it was very confusing. Out  server was very pleasant from the beginning. I was happy for that..

    great bubbly, sandwiches, desserts and tea; perfect service. Next time (there will definitely be a next time!) I would ask to keep the scones and add fruit (decrease the hard to dismiss desserts). thanks for a great bday photo! (servers are excellent photographers).

    Lovely service and presentation. Price is high when considering it does not include the price of admission (this is additional- and also costly). Sandwiches are mixed… not all were popular, although tiny lobster roll was delicious. Desserts tiny as are mini scones. Overall this is a wonderful day when in conjunction w the garden, but it is an expensive afternoon.

    The best location on a nice day is the outdoor patio looking towards the Rose Garden. The sandwiches, desserts and scones were all excellent.
