    The service was outstanding, particularly our very attentive and kind french waitress. The food was delicious, especially the duck and the fried chicken skin (thanks to the honey-truffel dressing).

    My first time for the Westin High Tea and I was not disappointed. Though we were late as the ballet went over time the staff were understanding and charming. They made sure we were comfortable with chair cushions where needed offered a coffee.. After explaining the food selection and checking for intolerances we were able to confirm our preferred beverages. the tiered selection of sandwiches, scone and petit fours was delightful and there was a generous amount. The ambience was very relaxed peaceful for conversation. We were fortunate to have booked for the final sitting @ 4pm and though we went over the allotted 2 hours we were not rushed out. All in all a delight and we will return.
