    Multiple members of the Sailor team wished us a "Happy Anniversary." They even printed "Happy Anniversary" on our menus! Staff were kind and remembered us from previous visits. The team always makes sure to make us feel welcomed. The food is obviously lovely.

    If you are looking for a cozy tearoom where you truly feel like you're dining in a quaint Victorian parlor, give Brooklyn High Low a visit. The tea selection is lengthy with lots to try. The food was delicious and well prepared, served on 3-tiered trays and mismatched cups and saucers. While we had a full tea service, they offer many different choices for courses and menu. The service was impeccable. Helpful and knowledgeable, friendly and hospitable. We went to the original location, but they have two. Garden seating is also available.
