We decided to go there later in the evening for drinks only and got seated at a table. I felt I still wanted to eat something and they let me order just two sides without a main or protein. We had the mashed potatoes and the broccolini. The portions were quite generous and the execution and seasoning on both was really good. The drinks were delicious too along with outstanding ambiance and design. We will be back even though a bit expensive.

One of the best afternoon teas on the west side. Elevated offerings. If I could make one comment to the chef, it would be to serve the tea sandwiches open faced. The raspberry scone is a definite stand out. Very pleasant beachy feeling, yet still upscale.
