    As a avid high tea goer this was great. The scones were perfect and along with the smoked salmon! The service was great as well. I wish there was a little more variety of tea though. I will be going back next time I am in town.

    Absolutely terrible from start to finish. Unbelievably awful service, particularly from the woman who seated us. Our water was never refilled. Food was dreadful, tasted like packaged grocery store pastries. Nothing appeared to be restaurant made. The tea was ok, but nothing we could not have gotten from a coffee shop for $6-8 at most. At $55 per person, we were appalled by the price for what we received in terms of food and service. Do not recommend!

    Booked a brunch reservation at the last minute sight unseen and we were absolutely blown away by the beauty of the space. Our waitress was kind, drinks were excellent. My only downsides, which is on the smaller scale, is that the French fries that were served with my meal were hard as rocks. Additionally, when booking through open table, the staff could not seem to find the reservation although it was booked. Other than those small hiccups, I cannot wait to come back in the near future.

    Service is outstanding, polite, felt like a princess. Only thing is small portions, and 1 salmon dinner was undercooked and 2 salmon dinners overcooked. And the white chocolate mouse was too sweet like vanilla frosting. Bread and butter is homemade in restaurant.
