Exceeded Expectations!! We attended the Boozy Tea and can't stop raving about everything. Our server, Liam, was incredible! We LOVED the artful beauty created for each pot of tea. The food was delicious (although our 1 vegan diner could not eat much). The DJ was great too.
AqimeroResponded on October 3, 2024
Thank you so much for your enthusiastic review! We're so excited to hear that you had such a fantastic experience at our bottomless brunch event. Liam will be so thilled knowing that his service made such a positive impression on your visit. We’re delighted that you enjoyed the artful tea presentation and the delicious food. Your feedback regarding the limited vegan options is noted, and we'll definitely keep it in mind as we work to enhance our offerings.
