What a fantastic afternoon tea we could have with our children and their grandmother. Everyone was so kind, intuitive, and considerate of our needs, as I use a mobility scooter. The food was yummy, the tea, divine, and the overall ambience some experience will make us return every year. Thank you, dear WALLACE Team for your help with everything. 🙏❤️

We dined here for Christmas Day dinner and had such a lovely time! We made advance reservation and were seated immediately upon arrival and greeted with our welcome drink of choice. While they were extremely busy and crowded, our server was extremely attentive and the music playlist was on point. The whole staff was so friendly and welcoming and we enjoyed the food and overall experience very much!
