An amazing spot for afternoon tea. We have been twice and both times were incredible. The fact that the whole menu is gluten free is such a great thing for those of us with dietary restrictions. The food, service and ambiance are top notch!

We had a great time at this restaurant that was very accommodating. The bartender was incredible, we received great service at our table from him. The cost of the fajitas to the portions received were a bit off, we did have to get additional tortillas and cheese, and we could’ve used more pico de gallo. The waiter was accommodating got all of these things for us. We would definitely return and it’s great for large groups, including children
