My mom was visiting from out of town and LOVES tea rooms and this was perfect, the set menu allowed us to try everything together and work our way through the sandwiches and desserts. The cocktails and presentation of everything was 11/10. Would go back with her or other friends in a heart beat

Beautiful space for a tea room. We loved the overall theme, the menu, free glass of champagne, the kinds of tea we ordered—the only reason to give this place 4/5 instead of 5/5, is the tea was barely lukewarm. Please serve hot tea. My suggestion would be maybe tea cozies? Or use boiling water? Regardless, awesome experience.

Way too loud. Wa hosting a children's party at the main table that ruined the atmosphere.

Initially seated in the bar area and asked to move to overlook courtyard. After a 4 minute wait, our request was honored. Great ambiance, gracious, friendly service and a nice selection of teas and treats to suit most tastes. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
