  • Decor ersatz but nice enough. Service outstanding - attentive and kind. And if you've read some of my other reviews, you know something's not quite right if I'm starting with decor and service - since I'l eat in any kurmudgony old hole in the wall so long as the food excels. So what was wrong? Well we went for mothers day high tea, so maybe it's not fair to judge, but aside from a lovely choice of teas (they actually brought samples for us to sniff at the table) the food left something to be desired. The finger sandwiches were really nothing special, truly uninspired. With the scones, they attempted creativity by making them smaller and offering them in three flavours. But at the end of the day the scone is the medium for the creams on top so the chocolate one in particular was too distracting. Plus they had these chunks of crystallized sugar on the top which was just gauche - reminded me of McDonalds apple turnovers from the '80s. As for the pastries - all too sweet. Maybe if you're serving 5 year-olds, substituting sugar for flavour is the way to go, but it's not so cool for a Yorkville establishment. The almond cake, mind you, was heavy on the flavouring, probably because the pastry chef dumped half a bottle of essence of almond into it. The shortbread was nice with a raspberry mousse, but again, too sweet to actually stomach. And the key lime marshmallow sounded gross and delivered on just that. Again, it might have appealed to 5 year-olds, but at $47.00 pp (tip was oddly included even for our party of two) there were no 5 year-olds to be found. Oh, as for the chocolate - there was one for each of us included with the sweets. Having lived in Switzerland on and off since I was a kid, I'm a bit of a purist. Moroco's chocolate was pretty good - 3.8 - but with just two samples, I'd have to come back. Given all the other great places you can now find chocolate in the city, I might not.
