    Not that many options. Chicken was dry. Steak wasn’t cooked all the way. Waiter constantly kept telling us that we have to eat every last bite but it was honestly not possible.

    I went for high tea and I must say it was an incredible experience! The food was amazing, and the customer service was even better! The chef (Lovelina) came to meet with us to get feedback on her food creations! She was so pleasant and nice! A very big thank to Ravi who greeted is with a warm smile and brought us to our table, and Shweta and Ariel for such wonderful service, and making my experience so special! I would highly recommend this spot for any meal, especially the high tea!

    Quiet restaurant with great menu options, friendly service and nice ambience. We had a reservation for an 845 dinner but didn’t need one. The restaurant was very quiet. Great option if you are staying at the hotel and don’t want to leave the hotel to eat.

    To whom this may concern, First and foremost, I booked a table for six at 2 PM for brunch or lunch that was posted on open table. Also did my friend Arianna who booked for 2:30 PM. When I tried to call, it told me I have to do everything through open table. There is no phone number to reach any human to talk directly to that works at the restaurant. So I had sent an email I got no reply. That was the first red flag for me. So when I book on open table, it asked me do you want high tea or do you want regular service? I opted for regular service. Coming up to my reservation I confirmed and also did my friend Ariana. There was no information on my reservation that there was construction going on in front of the hotel or in there. It was hard to get parking. It was not told in advance and we couldnt find restaurant parking. Try to call the restaurant. That’ll be no answer cause I couldn’t get hold of them, my friend restaurant reservation and they tell you guys it’s only service when I google the restaurant, the hour of operation don’t match what is on open table. So that was very confusing for my guest and I. Arianna and I booked this restaurant to celebrate our birthday weeeks in advance. I was highly disappointment with the staff and the miscommunication they had with their manager and not even knowing of the reservations. When we finally get there they’re telling me they don’t do breakfast or brunch at this time it ends at 11 am, and again that’s not what is posted here in open table. Oh how their lunch start at 3 pm and there’s only high tea. I was so furious because it’s cutting into my birthday plans. Not only was it an arm and a leg to find the place, now I’m hungry and you’re telling me only tea and biscuits?! That’s so infuriating. I did not end up celebrating my birthday there. I went else where with my guest because clearly your establishment falsely advertised, were not well equipped or informed to even serve my guest and I. I definitely will not be back.
