    It is an iconic venue but overpriced for the experience. Our waiter was inattentive and not easily available despite the fact that they serve only pre arranged tea trays. Go for the ambiance, but no other real reason to go.

    We loved it! We were able to get both the regular menu and a vegan option for someone in our party with a dairy allergy. The food and tea were delicious!

    An afternoon of utter indulgence. My friend had to cancel at the last minute so I had the whole experience myself. The food was outstanding. It seemed as if every time I oohed and ahhed over a sweet or a sandwich, my dear waiter would show up with more. My cup was never empty. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
