We made reservations a few days in advance and were seated immediately upon arrival. We had the "full tea" which for each person included a pot of tea and 3 courses of food: tea sandwiches, scones, and sweets. All items were carefully crafted in both taste and presentation. My favorite items were the lobster salad sandwich and the buttermilk scone with Devonshire cream. The sweets were too rich and sweet in my opinion, but still beautifully made. Our servers were friendly, welcoming, and attentive - they even offered seconds for the sandwiches. For the birthday we were celebrating, we were given an extra dessert and the pianist and servers made sure to sing "happy birthday" too! Overall, this was a delightful experience! The only drawbacks are that the price is expensive (in comparison to other high tea restaurants), and the portions are small.
