The tea advertised multiple items and I have never gone to a tea where there wasn’t one of each item per guest. For 55 a plate, that was disappointing. No implements were brought to serve from the trays. Had to ask for the lobster rolls. Some of the bread items were stale. The place is beautiful but the menu items varied in quality.

As a avid high tea goer this was great. The scones were perfect and along with the smoked salmon! The service was great as well. I wish there was a little more variety of tea though. I will be going back next time I am in town.

Absolutely terrible from start to finish. Unbelievably awful service, particularly from the woman who seated us. Our water was never refilled. Food was dreadful, tasted like packaged grocery store pastries. Nothing appeared to be restaurant made. The tea was ok, but nothing we could not have gotten from a coffee shop for $6-8 at most. At $55 per person, we were appalled by the price for what we received in terms of food and service. Do not recommend!
