A delightful experience. Lots of effort to make it an authentic, British style afternoon tea with delicious tea options, fancy sandwiches and scones and sweets. Bravo.

The sandwiches were dry; had the appearance of not being freshly made, i.e., made earlier and not covered. The scones were brown, not white and golden from baking; they were also hard and dry. The clotted cream tasted salty. The sweets were so-so. Ambiance was rather sterile, not particularly warm.

Creative, delicious high tea with nice seasonal flavors. We also liked that everything was gluten-free. Staff was pleasant and attentive. Although there wasn’t a tablecloth, which I missed, the place settings were elegant and included customized teapots with clever brewing inserts. Overall, we’re eager to return.
