    Had a late afternoon grand Vanderbilt high tea service. Wonderful ambience and decorations made this such a nice little retreat. Tea was brewed perfectly and the sandwiches and scone were delicious (try the scone with the clotted cream, raspberry jam, and the lemon curd together - perfect combination!) Staff was amazing.

    Very inflexible reservation policies and overall not worth the price for even just a classic service for 2. Would recommend either getting a more premium service for more people or just go alone on Friday for something more affordable.

    We sat in the outdoor garden space. Space heaters were on and they provided warm blankets so it wasn’t too cold even in the middle of January. Tea was delicious. Small sandwiches were very good and so were the scones and small desserts. Highly recommend for a girls day! The space was so cozy and cute too.

    Our time at BK High Low today was lovely! It was the perfect way to spend a birthday with good friends. We sat in the garden on the coldest day of the year but mostly were cozy beside our frozen toes, which is just the nature of being anywhere in the cold. The tea was delicious and they had such a diverse selection. The scones were fluffy and beautifully textured but we were not impressed with the sandwiches. The desserts were good but we agreed the tea and scones are the best part. I will say that we were a party of 7 outside so we were harder to reach but the service was not outstanding. All in all, I would surely recommend the Grand Vanderbilt at least once for the special experience that full afternoon tea is. It doesn't hurt that the HIgh Low's parlor spaces are so delightful! I will return again for cream tea without the extra food but I am so glad I chose BHL for our get-together:)

    I found this place to be so cute and charming. The service was good too. I chose the Classic for me and my friend. It was her birthday. The presentation was lovely; however, the sandwiches were poor, thick cold bread, little filling. The biscuits were bland, cold and so was the tea. The extra $8 for the cake was worth it since it was the only thing freshly made and warm. I am glad I went, but not coming back. I think the prices for the quality of the food or the tea, don’t make justice.

    The place is lovely and the service was thoughtful and friendly. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the quality of the food. The sandwiches were served still cold from the fridge and the bread was stale. We did the 70 dollar menu and we got an appetizer the size of a tea cup. We were disappointed with the experience even though it was a cool concept. Considering the price, we expected a much higher quality.

    Brought my parents to tea on a rainy Saturday, they LOVED it. Was worth it entirely for how much they enjoyed it.
