We loved our High Tea at Zoey’s. The atmosphere, the food and the service were top notch. Shout out to the excellent Garrick who made the whole experience even better. We were celebrating 2 birthdays and were treated to a special treat on the house - unexpected and lovely.

We visited for my daughter’s 13th birthday. Food was great and the service was excellent. One of our children has food allergies and they were very accommodating. Noise level is higher than other restaurants we have visited, but to be expected in an open space and we weren’t bothered by it.
