    Candlelight Tea was spectacular! All of the tasty sandwiches and pastries were divine. The ambiance is amazing. The penicillin drink was great! Kinda tastes like a lemon bandaid at first but turns into more lemon mule like to finish. No candles though. I figured since it was a candlelight tea there would be candles ? Steak pie was fantastic. Everything was amazing except the price..lol but that’s to be expected at a place like the prince of wales.

    Enjoyed Valentine’s Day dinner at Hob Nob with my husband. He had French Onion soup, beef tenderloin and strawberry shortcake. I had the soup, pistachio crusted halibut and chocolate truffle cake. Everything was delicious! Ashley was our server and was exceptional. The entire team was friendly and helpful. The ambience was warm and inviting. This was our first time, but we will definitely be back!
