    My guests and I enjoyed the tea service and it was well worth the experience. The server was awesome and the food was delicious! We enjoyed the Honeysuckle Fig tea, the Cream Earl Grey tea and the Mango Pear tea. Such an amazing find and I have already been back to this place 3 times since it opened late 2024. I’m looking forward to trying other items on their regular lunch menu.

    Very nice dinner, staff was great, we were the only table that did not have amuse bouche between courses, all other tables did. The tables seemed flimsy and were too close together. The owner of the hotel did come and introduce himself and that was just lovely to hear about his art. Thank you for a nice night.
