   Underwhelming Experience at a Premium Price. This experience fell far short of what one would expect from a proper British afternoon tea. The selection was limited, and the value simply wasn’t there—especially at over $100 per guest. Only one tea option was available, and there were no refills on the savories, which was quite disappointing. The service was unremarkable and lacked any sign of a bespoke or elevated experience. There was no effort to personalize the service or offer anything beyond the bare minimum. At this price point, guests should feel welcomed and indulged—not treated with the same level of attention you’d expect at a casual sandwich shop. I left completely unsatisfied, which should never happen with a premium experience.

   Amazing experience! Our server was so kind and attentive. Only complaint was it was quite warm in there. Could have used a little air circulation. But 10/10 would go again!

   They really made our Mother / Son tea really special. Thank you to the staff for their kindness, professionalism, and efficiency. We hope to be back for our next special occasion.

   For afternoon tea, this was very reasonably priced, especially given that: the location was beautiful and historic, everything was tasty, and there was a live harpist playing. Attentive, but not suffocating staff, and they endorse for parking.

   Our servers JP and Deepak were attentive. We appreciated the side room for privacy and less overall noise but were able to still enjoy the harpist! Great afternoon and atmosphere!

    The food was tasty and very filling, the tea was delicious, parking was validated, and the service was great. We felt very welcome. The room we were in was not too loud, and they offered to take pictures of us. There was also a live harpist. Overall we had a great time.
