We ate in the Cafe. The concierge was well organised and even though it was particularly busy, we were seated in a timely and calm manner. The service was prompt enough for a busy hour and the meals came out really quickly. They were hot and delicious and The Grounds Rose was lovely. The Snow White display was colourful and magical.
