Nice place with an incredible bar and cocktail menu. The service is warm and concerned. The atmosphere is suitable for small tables. The cocktails ans whiskies menu is very interesting and plenty. Now, depending on the area you are the chitchating of others may become a noise. Be aware. Two things to improve, from my modest point of view: some tables need better light to be able to reed the menu proerly and please reduce the amount of ice on the cocktails: makes difficult to drink.

In a lovely area of the hotel but we were placed at a coffee table set up - not a real table which made eating and drinking difficult as you were bent over reaching down and trying to pour your tea and eat the sandwiches. They then seemingly forgot us, we had to flag someone down to ask for more tea and when we finally flagged someone down to get the desserts they realized we didn’t get any scone service. I then had to ask twice for the bill just so we could get out as it appeared they forgot us again. They nicely took some off the bill but didn’t make the special afternoon tea date worth it.

My OpenTable booking had not been received by the venue. They had no record of it. Fortunately the kind staff were able to accommodate us on a busy evening, which is what I had booked. 0 stars for opentable
