| - This review is about a month overdue. I have gotten the tea service about a half dozen times over the last 18 months, and the quality keeps getting worse each time. (I won't eat there at dinner time again after the last time, but that is another story.) Took my mother out for a birthday tea service. She had flown in from out of town and specifically requested to come here, because we had enjoyed it twice the last time she was out here. Where do I begin? After ordering the sussex tea set with an addition pot and a order of the ploughman's platter, we expected a nice brunch. Well, to be short. The server soon returned ten minutes later to tell us there was no scones! Seriously! No one had made them/put them out the previous evening. The owner was on the way. OK, we had already gotten out tea. Now what? Trying to save this, I ordered a summer berry pavlova. Guess what? Five minutes later - they had no meringue for it! Seriously. OK, then, we took the server's suggestion of the petite- fours. Cut to the chase - half good/half FROZEN. I tried to keep my composure, but I was not happy. No discount either. Lesson learned. I have to find another tea service. If you go there, expect a delay or a substitution.
