Very nice High Tea for special occasion. Quite pricey so would only go there for special occasion. Staff were friendly and chatty, but not very attentive. Had to ask for drinks menu twice (first person obviously forgot.) Had to walk to other side of restaurant to order second drink as no staff were in the vicinity for some time.

Food and coffee were very good. Looked like they were short staffed but that didn't effect us much. Coffee aroma was so good. I'd go back again.
