Food was great. Waitress took her time explaining how it works, since it was our first time. Very well organized and prompt team. They held our ice cream until intermission, which was nice, so we wouldn't stuff ourselves. Even held our leftovers until the show ended.

Would recommend loose leaf tea rather than tea bags. Need more savory items. Food was average. Beautiful and great service. Expensive for what you get- recommend adding scones.
