    Our dish ware was dirty and there was a giant stain on the table cloth. Only 2 plate settings were set but we had 3 people in our party. It took about 10 minutes for the third plate setting to come although there were 2 more at another table that didn’t get used the entire time we were there. There was also a hair on our dessert. Besides that our vegetarian selection was delicious. I definitely expected a better quality tea time for $80 a person probably won’t be returning.
