Everything was perfect!!! Starting with rose petals on the table and a very attentive waiter- we were pampered with many courses of fabulous stones, tea sandwiches, and desserts! We even had “ freshly fallen snow” outside! Perfect!!! It’s on the pricy side- but worth every penny. Such a special time with my daughter and my 2 grand children- who loved everything! Thank you for a wonderful memory!

The experience was fine but not worth returning. The tea sandwiches were standard though the bread tasted a bit stale honestly. A few of the mini desserts were delicious. A few were just misses. Overall, overpriced at $85 per person given that it’s the equivalent of one full-sized sandwich and a dessert and tea. The scones were not very authentic. Also, we arrived early and asked if we could be seated 15 min before our reservation. The hostess didn’t crack a smile or even pretend to be pleasant and wouldn’t even entertain the idea of seating us early- which was odd given how empty the restaurant was the entire time. So we waited in the lobby while the empty tables just sat unoccupied. Odd.

Our server was great but the hostess seemed like she didn’t want to be there. We had afternoon tea but went 10 min early from the time of our reservation. The hostess stated that she can’t seat us until the time of the reservation (despite the fact that the whole restaurant was empty) and we ended up hanging out in the hotel lobby which was great but she could have offered the bar, also when asked her about parking validation she stated it was $18 flat rate but when we went to pay for parking it costed us $42 instead so wish she was a bit more into her Job since we spent $320 on afternoon tea for 3 people.

The accommodations made for my wife's allergies were above and beyond. We did not feel that her multiple allergies negatively impacted our options, there was plenty of variety and it all felt well thought through. Service was very upbeat, conscientious, and personable. Very well done.
