We had such an absolute lovely time at Above 319. The staff was very kind and generous. The rooftop was such a nice vibe. The staff gave us complimentary caviar and we had mocktails as our non-alcoholic alternatives. The high tea was delicious and very well presented, the tea and mocktails were also excellent. It was overall such a perfect experience.
