                                                              Overall pretty disappointing. Tea “service” was a pot of black tea (no choice given), didn’t appear to be loose leaf nor do they poor it for you just kind of put it in the table and walked away. Sandwichs on plain white bread (ham, cucumber and chicken salad) and pastries were fairly uninspired. Service was fairly minimal, I had to keep reminding them I had asked for a drink and a dessert menu. I didn’t expect it to be the French room but i definitely had a bit higher hopes.
