    We love coming to Belle Epoque for the 2 hour Champagne High Tea. We'd LOVE to see a couple more savoury options instead of so many sweet options, but once again great value, and the service was simply wonderful as always!

    I was so impressed with our hostess, there was a staff member off and she managed on her own, making sure everything ran smoothly and were made to feel welcome. There were a few glitches, no fault of hers, and she handled them in a caring and professional manner. Glitches can happen, it's how they're dealt with that matters and the whole group was impressed. I would also like to say how impressed I was with a phone call, prior to the day, to see if any of our party had mobility issues as the lift was out of service. This is exceptional service and certainly made our day a lot easier and comfortable. Another shout out to the concierge staff on the day, they also went above and beyond. Thank you
