The atmosphere is delightful. It’s a mix of old world marble museum with modern comforts and flair. The staff is knowledgeable without being pretentious. Hanan was our server, and she was the perfect mix of knowledgeable, sought help when needed (wine pairings), and the right amount of attentive without hovering. The food was an amazing experience with every bite, and our wine pairing was perfect. Try the yellowfin tuna tartare with the Chablis, and the risotto with the Paul Jaboulet Aîné Syrah. The nose on the wine was worth every dollar, especially after it had aired out a bit. I wish I could afford to come here every month!

It wasn't overwhelmingly a holiday experience at all. We booked this expecting some wow factor, but there were no decorations or anything. Disappointed

Afternoon tea was esthetically nice but everything had been refrigerated so nothing tasted freshly made like it used to back in the day. Can’t justify the steep price for this level of quality.

We started this tradition four years ago when we bailed on a Christmas dinner party that no longer interested us and decided to have an afternoon tea experience… We still have bubbly amazing food lots of laughs, and amazing service. Highly recommend the shadow Laurie/Zoe’s for Christmas high tea.!
