The experience was luxurious and sumptuous. Food is terrific, and service exemplary. But nothing can beat the ambience of the lobby at the St. Regis. The whole experience was a home run. I would suggest booking a later Tea so that you can see the 6 PM champagne in the lobby as well. My only hesitancy is that the expense is such that it has to be a real treat for me, not a frequent occurrence.
