This is a wonderful tea. Peacock Alley is beautiful; there was a harpist playing music. The food was simply outstanding. Best tea service I have had. Gingerbread scones were delicious! The tea selection was extensive. Service was attentive. It’s not cheap, but worth every penny. We had tea at The Plaza in New York last month: it was twice the price and the food was not nearly as good.
