    Lovely experience with my family at the Rose Lounge on Christmas Day. They offer a vegan tea, that accommodated my daughters, and regular tea for my husband and me. All of the food was delicious. The interior is quite festive and the waitstaff superb. They were thoughtful enough to prepare a birthday treat for me for my birthday, which is on Christmas Day. Excellent!
