It was a very interesting experience for the afternoon tea. I put down my diet request which was gluten free, no diary, no nuts and sugar. The manager and the kitchen made the special menu just for me and everything was very tasty. I really appreciated their thoughtful hospitality and the professionist. A very elegant and enjoyable afternoon tea.

Comfortable and casual (with a capital "C" for each). Absolutely loved the tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwich. -- and the choice of jazz as ambience was well chosen.
