    My order was wrong and we had to wait 20 minutes for the credit card machine to pay because it was taken elsewhere. The food was good and the waitress gave us some free cookies for our troubles and she was lovely. The ambience is nice and would be a good date place as they have a piano player and he was excellent as well

    I had the loveliest Afternoon Tea at Prologue Café! The atmosphere was cozy and elegant, with such attention to detail. The tea selection was fantastic, and every bite - especially the scones and delicate pastries - was delicious. The service was warm and attentive without being overbearing. It’s clear that a lot of care goes into the whole experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking to treat themselves or enjoy a special outing with friends!✨🍰🫖💕🐰👏🏻👏🏻

    It was AMAZING! I booked a reservation for my sister's bachloate party and it was above our expectations. The place is nicely renovated and with such cute details. The tea selection was good and could order a coffee as well. The food was delicious and thoughtful. Our waitress was super sweet, she was detailed and when we asked if she could take pictures of us she took a bunch from different angels. Would come back here again!

    We went for afternoon tea. Our server was friendly, but once she brought the food, that was it. We were N.E. Ed offered more Prosecco or tea. The cafe is adjacent to the hotel lobby, so the noise of people checking in and kids running around the lobby distracts a bit. Food was just ok. There are nicer afternoon tea places in town.

    Dear Patti, Thank you for coming in to join us for tea. While it sounds like you had a lot to like about your visit, I apologize that we did not exceed your expectations overall. Your comments are greatly appreciated and will be shared with our staff. We would love to see you again soon for a top-notch experience! Sincerely, Prologue Restaurant Management

    I called ahead for about allergies one of my guests has and they assured me that they would be able to accommodate this but on the day, they said they were not informed and that there was no options that my friend could eat. So she had nothing. Service was bad overall, food was cold and dry but the cafe itself is very pretty.

    We sat and waited for someone to take our drink order for almost 30 mins. She was by herself and was doing the best she could. She had a table of 10, a table of 6 and two tables of 2. Was not realistic to expect her to be able to do all of that by herself and provide quality service.

    We were excited to come out for a Mother's Day brunch, last time we were there we got offered the high tea despite being a bit early for it and when I asked the server was a bit rude with her answer. Then when we asked to see a drink menu (which we had last time) the server informed us that the drink menu was only for dinner time and when I ask why and explained that we had one last time we came for brunch there was no proper answer. Once everyone who was there for high tea came our server barely came to our table, we received the wrong wings but after 30min we got the right kind, one of us asked for no ginger and had ginger still (it's a food sensitivity), we also asked for a side of mayo for something and that didn't come out for the very over cooked fries. Overall the service was below sub par, and the food was also sub par. Very disappointing considering we had a wonderful experience last time.

    The Afternoon Tea was lovely! There was live music, the food was delicious and there was a variety of teas to choose from. Service was a *tiny* bit slow but there was only one staff member to tend to the multiple tables. She never stopped moving though!! I’m definitely going to bring friends by for this experience!
