We had a lovely time but the food was lacking in flavor, sandwiches where bland, scones where hard and dry even the desserts lacked flavor. Sadly I won’t be going back it’s a beautiful hotel and the staff are so gracious but for the price it’s not worth it.

So much fun! Definitely a place to get dressed up and take the cutest photos. The tea was so yummy, the food was also really good. I would say be aware it can get pricy fast, as there is a mandatory minimum purchase of 40~ dollars per person. Though they are understanding if someone isn’t hungry and doesn’t want to purchase anything. I myself ended up spending 60$ for an eggs Benedict + tea + scone. Overall, it was a fun experience especially for the birthday!
