We experienced the afternoon tea for our 25th wedding anniversary. The view is worth the experience. The plate setting was beautiful. The tea selection was wonderful. Desserts were delightful. Sandwiches were good. The harp playing in the background was a beautiful touch. Finally the service was exceptional.

It was quite a nice time. Went there with my boyfriend for his birthday and the themed drinks were very creative, although I think the price per portion was a bit steep. Good ingredients and food so that makes up for it a bit at least.

The restaurant is beautiful and very nicely decorated. The food was very good and very nicely presented. The staff was super friendly and helped with food and drink advice. The view is amazing. Most tables have a great view, but make sure you ask for a window table if you are 2 people.

This was the best dining experience I have ever had! We were lucky enough to try the Chef tasting menu, the food was delicious and the chef came out to talk to us. It felt like the staff truly cared about our dining experience. Would highly recommend a visit!
