The quality of the high tea even in some of the old colonial asian countries is 100 times better than what this overpriced experience provides. Save your 100$/person and spend it elsewhere ! Food quality and variety were poor. The service was good.

                                                                I had high expectation as it was being compared to the high tea at the Orchids! Unfortunately, it did not meet the hype. Shout out to Daniel M for a superb customer service! Food quality is mediocre. Tea choices were limited and finger sandwiches were dry. Desserts were ok at best. I enjoyed the onion rings and fries the most from their The Duke tea service. Their burger, although moist, needed seasoning on the patty. It was also busy and noisy at the time of tea service (2:15). Being out in the Veranda was quite enjoyable and the weather was breezy and pleasant. I wanted to love the experience but for the price we paid, it was not worth it!

Aki, is our favorite server there. She goes above and beyond to make your afternoon tea special. The ambiance can't be beat. The banyan tree is a lovely canopy and the sparkling blue water of the ocean is lovely to gaze at. If you enjoy people watching this is the place for you. If you enjoy classical architecture you won't be disappointed. The assortment of tasty finger foods is wonderful. My favorite tea is the creamy coconut. It's like eating a piece of fresh coconut. Perfect place to relax, enjoy the company of others and have delicious treats to savour.
