This place was breathtaking. From the moment we walked in , starting from the security , the receptionist and the servers I mean everyone was very nice and very professional . We went with kids and they treated the kids with soo much love . We got served and I mean everything was outstanding. My only concern was the tea treats . I think they should include sandwiches and croissants more than just the sweets . Aside from that everything was perfect . I will definitely be back again during the holidays because I know the ambiance will be great . Value for money if you are into aesthetics.
