This was such a lovely tea room. Decorated so beautifully, with tea and treats that were both satisfying to the eye and stomach. The staff made it such a nice experience for us and with everything for such a fair price, we will definitely be back.

Had a late afternoon grand Vanderbilt high tea service. Wonderful ambience and decorations made this such a nice little retreat. Tea was brewed perfectly and the sandwiches and scone were delicious (try the scone with the clotted cream, raspberry jam, and the lemon curd together - perfect combination!) Staff was amazing.

Very inflexible reservation policies and overall not worth the price for even just a classic service for 2. Would recommend either getting a more premium service for more people or just go alone on Friday for something more affordable.

We sat in the outdoor garden space. Space heaters were on and they provided warm blankets so it wasn’t too cold even in the middle of January. Tea was delicious. Small sandwiches were very good and so were the scones and small desserts. Highly recommend for a girls day! The space was so cozy and cute too.

Our time at BK High Low today was lovely! It was the perfect way to spend a birthday with good friends. We sat in the garden on the coldest day of the year but mostly were cozy beside our frozen toes, which is just the nature of being anywhere in the cold. The tea was delicious and they had such a diverse selection. The scones were fluffy and beautifully textured but we were not impressed with the sandwiches. The desserts were good but we agreed the tea and scones are the best part. I will say that we were a party of 7 outside so we were harder to reach but the service was not outstanding. All in all, I would surely recommend the Grand Vanderbilt at least once for the special experience that full afternoon tea is. It doesn't hurt that the HIgh Low's parlor spaces are so delightful! I will return again for cream tea without the extra food but I am so glad I chose BHL for our get-together:)
