    We enjoyed the food, views & company. It was some's first experience of a high tea & they enjoyed it but if you've visited other high tea venues, it definitely falls short. An improvement on the service is needed. We had to request explanations of the delicious snacks and grab attention to get more tea or additional requests. We were also only given 3 teas to taste, which were preselected, but would have been nice to be able to select our own to try as done at other high tea venues. Ambience could also do with improvement.

    The waiter needed more experience on the teas and the food. He was a little unsure and had to go and check once or twice. 2 of the 3 teas was drinkable in our opinion and was later told that that blend of tea will be discontinued as many patrons had complained of the same. Other establishments for high tea offer more that 3 variants which I would have preferred and for R575 per person excl service charge its very expensive for what we received. There was a baby screaming nonstop in the booth behind us which made the experience challenging. The fathers day gifts were appreciated however I do not recommend offering a complimentary scotch Whiskey in the middle of tasting teas.
