Before posting this, I read a bunch of reviews and I can completely understand both the five star and the one star ratings - there is validity in both. This is not a big fancy hotel high tea. It is pricy for the amount of food/drink you are served. The location is small/intimate. But it was *perfect* for what I was going for. I booked this restaurant for a three generation event (grandma, me, and tween) - it was a delicious and sweet and pink experience! Fancy without being stuffy. Tea was good - although you have to let it steep before it is served and take out the bag before it steeps to long. Food was good, and the amount of food was just right - we all left feeling full, but not stuffed. Service was good. I'm satisfied!
