The ambiance was lovely, and the service was perfect! It was definitely worth doing while my friend was in town. The tea selection was good, and the food was as well, though the sweets were a bit overwhelmingly sweet, and if I go back I think I would save a scone or sandwich for last to balance that out. Overall, it was a wonderful experience. Not something I can do every day. But definitely a fun day out as a treat!
