I enjoyed afternoon tea on the Veranda. This was a lovely experience. The tea, sandwiches, desserts and scones were delicious. Service was great and just a fantastic view. This is an experience I will never forget.

Our server, Darren, was outstanding!! If this was a review only on service, it would be a 5+++. The food was good, some of the sandwiches were not our favorites. Lots of peas and egg salad left on our plates. I was also sitting in the hot sun, so, I couldn’t give 5 stars
