Excellent service and great food, the ambiance/view is definitely what you are paying for though. For a special occasion or celebration this place would be a stellar option. The drinks were well balanced and crafted, though definitely expensive for what you get. All of our food was excellent, well prepared and a good portion. All of the pricing is certainly inflated, much like you paying for the experience more so than the product. All in all, if you are comfortable paying for the experience it is a memorable one.

Everything was absolutely amazing, the food, the teas, the view, the people working there. However we did not expect the 15% service charge to be added to the price. But be had a wonderful time and do not regret at all to have chosen the Shangri-La for our tea time in London.
