   Gnats flying around food. Food was marginal compared to last year.

   The idea of it is beautiful but very poorly executed. The food is unrefined. The service is both rushed and inefficient. Scones arrived before the tea. There was then a very long break before we received the sandwich and pastry tower. If this had been a $35/person experience I would have been fine with the price but still probably wouldn’t do it again because the food is substandard. But at $150/person for adults and $80/child - totally unacceptable. Two of the sandwiches on the kids menu were Nutella-Strawberry and Peanut Butter-Marshmallow. Yuck. Ended up ordering an adult tea for my two kids to share. Even they barely touched the sweets because they didn’t even look appetizing. Very disappointing.

   Underwhelming especially for the price of the holiday tea special. All the decor was largely outside of tea room. Was expecting a far more immersive Christmas holiday decorated experience since it was 50% more in cost than the typical. Food was good but mediocre given the price. Tea selection could have been more varied. We had to call for more hot water 4x so service could have been more proactive.

   Pasta and chicken dishes were great. Also had brussel sprouts…very good. They were busy, but the staff did the best they could. We’ll be back again!

   The venue is beautiful The service was above average. The food however was below average and WAY overpriced. The scones and biscuits were very nice but the finger sandwiches were a huge disappointment. We went there for our 25th wedding anniversary. My wife was thrilled to be there but I didn't have the heart to tell her I wouldn't go back. There are other High Teas in the area with comparable price but MUCH better offering of food and variety. Lastly, there was a couple sitting near the bar that were dancing near the piano player. Not bad in itself but the PDA was more suitable for a private bedroom than a public High Tea. Unfortunately, they were in my direct line of sight so I had nowhere else to look. I'm sure it bothered other guests but no one said anything. Including staff. Sorry but I'm very disappointed.
