    A quite extraordinary experience in classical surroundings. Savoury dishes really hit the spot with me whilst my wife loved the sweet offering. Food was of the highest standard with expert service to match. Our waitress was knowledgeable and charming with a wonderful quirky edge. This experience in the UK would cost at a minimum double possibly treble the price.

    WOW WOW WOW!!! Absolutely Impeccable service... from the gentleman in the parking lot, to the Doormen, and the very very polite and beautiful presence of our table person, JEIGHMAN. He was absolutely phenomenal. His friendliness, personal touches and just humbleness made all of us feel soooooooo incredibly special, especially me, being pregnant, he made a very special cup of coffee and made sure i had something else when the salmon and beef carpaccio was served that I could not eat. This was our first ever High Tea, worth every minute. the setting was FLAWLESS. there is not ONE THING, any of us could fault on.. absolutely amazing experience, THANK YOU!!!!

    We had a lovely High Tea. The food was amazing, staff were attentive and answered all questions we had. I have a nut allergy and they were accommodating and kept my food on separate plates. We will definitely be back.
