I’ve been to over 10 afternoon teas in Manhattan and this was by far the best one I’ve done. Everything from the presentation and decor to the food was amazing, but what really put this tea to the top of the list was the service. Alex was so kind greeting us at the front door and Bruno couldn’t have been more attentive or nice during the service. He provided an awesome recommendation on our tea and preemptively planned ahead so we never had to ask for anything. I would highly recommend this tea service and plan to tell all of my friends about it. Shout out specifically to Bruno for making a standard Friday afternoon feel so special!

First-time diner (lunch). The venue is uniquely laid out and interesting. Similarly, the menu was thoughtful and the food excellent. The staff couldn't have been better. I understand this is a popular evening destination. Do try it for lunch.
