    My friend and I went for high tea. The food was excellent. There wasn’t anything I ate that I didn’t enjoy. My favorites were the tuna sandwich, potatoes and leek soup and the cannoli. The interior design was extremely cute and girlie. It felt like a special club for women only. Our only criticism was that the service was a bit slow. The restaurant was slammed so we understood and didn’t mind the wait on food, but were disappointed that we had to wait an hour for a second pot of tea. Our final pot we ended up taking to go. I would definitely go back! Such a fun cute place.

    The space is beautiful, and I love the concept. For the price point of the brunch, the quality of food needed a little elevation. Overall service was fine, but there were some lapses in service and based on how many people were present and the establishment was closed for walk-ins, the lapses did not seem justified. However, one team member stood out a lot to my party. Ebiyemi was very kind and personable. She was very prompt in her service. This establishment has a lot of potential.

    Great place! The food and tea was excellent! The menu warns that the service can be slow due to short staffing and things made fresh and that made me immediately worried it was going to take forever but our server was very good and we didn’t wait too long for things for food to come out.
