    Food was good but I do feel it was too sweet heavy and a few more savory items would have been better. Not much of a view and the overall esthetic felt dated.

    This was my first high tea for a long time and I absolutely loved the food, service and atmosphere. The food was so tasteful and there was a great variety. There was not one food on my plate that I didn't like. The service was very friendly.
