    Customer service was excellent from the moment we walked onto the property. Everyone was polite, smiling, warm, and hospitable. The front desk, the wait staff, the back up wait staff, the bar, ... everyone. Lovely vibe. Very good food. We had the vegan tea service. Every morsel was delicious. The scones we great! The tea waitress was absolutely lovely, She shared her enthusiasm about her love of tea and it enhanced our experience. We plan to return. We were a group of four.
