A gorgeous place to stop by for an easy dinner with fun vibes. We took our newborn and shared a meal and a few drinks and it was so much fun. It was super loud because they had a DJ. We also were expecting more people to be there, but it was pretty mellow on a Saturday evening.

Avocado toast for breakfast was the best choice. We added some smoked salmon.

Excellent afternoon tea experience. Beautiful room, great service, the food presented beautifully and was delicious. Table was a bit small for the food trays. Tea comes with bubbly which to me is unnecessary but good deal overall. We will definitely go again.

Went for tea but service was not great. Waiter never came back to check on if we needed anything. Had to go look for wait staff to help us. Food was good but too many sweets,

Understaffed and do not pay attention to detail. A friend and I came here for one drink and ended up waiting over 30 minutes only for a glass of water. We finally found someone to order a drink, but once our order came out, it was wrong. Not to mention the restroom was so dirty and overall the entire place was un organized in every aspect. I hate writing negative reviews, but I think this experience deserved to be commented on.
