                          I really love the option of an entirely gluten free tea house. It was a small and unique store front with very limited seating, you can only get reservations. The bites are petite like a tea house, my only complaint is that I wish there were at least two pieces of each bite for $50 a person. I am grateful they accommodate to every allergy and diet preference. The lot of teas have a large variety and all in all I enjoyed the experience.

                          A delightful experience. Lots of effort to make it an authentic, British style afternoon tea with delicious tea options, fancy sandwiches and scones and sweets. Bravo.

                          The sandwiches were dry; had the appearance of not being freshly made, i.e., made earlier and not covered. The scones were brown, not white and golden from baking; they were also hard and dry. The clotted cream tasted salty. The sweets were so-so. Ambiance was rather sterile, not particularly warm.
