| - Never been a fan of desserts, but this was alright.
Decor is very well-themed. It's a british style afternoon tea or high tea place, with lots stained glass on the back wall, a lot of antiques such as telephones, old dressers, lots of china sets, and English art (paintings) hung on the walls.
I can imagine a lot of people would enjoy the atmosphere.
They primarily serve 2 packages for tea time, One is afternoon tea ($28/person) which includes 3-tiers of finger foods (sandwiches, pastries, dessert cakes), with a pot of tea of your choice.
Second is the high tea, which includes everything in the afternoon tea but also an individual green salad and a quiche for $10 more per person.
I got the Pomegranate Goji green tea, which is fruity and semi sweet. Definitely a strong green tea after taste for those who like it. I didn't mind it. The aroma is very sweet and nice though.
Let's talk food..
Sandwiches include smoked salmon, classic cucumber, chicken salad
Always a fan, best food in my opinion.
Scones + clotted cream + jam
Scones were a little tough but the clotted cream made up for it. It's very soft and goes well with the scone. Jam adds more sugary flavour to it, if you're into sweets.
Cakes includes strawberry cheesecake, brownie, lemon tart
Didn't try any of it, the wife ate it all, so can't comment here.
Service is a bit slow even though it wasn't that busy, so that is a bit concerning for me. The staff always seemed to be in the kitchen so we never got any service when we needed it; we had to wait maybe 5 minutes every time we wanted something (more hot water, a box for take out, the bill).
