Excellent food, good ambiance & service. My favourite afternoon tea in the city so far.
I came for the Sweetheart Afternoon Tea - the February special, $54 set comes with sparkling wine. They have a different theme & menu each month! Regular tea set is $44 without the wine. I loved the modern presentation and how we had a chance to smell the tea selection before ordering. My favorite food was the chicken salad sandwich on beet brioche bun, and in general all the sandwiches were great, very detailed and well prepared. Loved the scones as well, and the quiche tart, banana eclair and chili chocolate is definitely not something you see on every menu.
Service can be improved in the waiting area - no signs or server to greet us, we were just standing at the top of the stairs as it was assumed that was the designated area. Eventually had to go down and try to flag someone down.
Overall, highly recommended afternoon tea. I'll be back sooner than expected if the wallet allows! PS: No walk-ins, make reservations few days to a week in advance. 15% service charge added.
