Classic English afternoon tea for two please.
The lychee green tea and the regular green tea were very fragrant. They provided us with a giant pot of tea. If you finish the pot and want more, it is an additional cost. The selection and amount of food was sufficient. The food was good, but not mind blowing. It is hard for me to judge because I have had tea in London, and I naturally wanted to compare the experience.
The scones with a smear of strawberry jam were hot, fresh, and delicious. The bread in the sandwiches were a bit dry. The desserts were good, but some a little too rich for me. (Matter of preference.) The most memorable item was the goat cheese tart. I don't like goat cheese. The idea of goat cheese makes me frown. I was already frowning when I opened my mouth to devour the tart. Surprisingly that frown turned into a socked smile. The tart filling complimented the goat cheese well. Goat cheese can be good! Life changing experience here!
I also enjoyed that the atmosphere didn't feel overly pretentious. The wait staff was absolutely kind and attentive.
I would have to disagree with some of the other yelpers about the view. The view sucks. I just don't think having tea with a view of blinking grand hotels and construction can be amazing and attractive.
Go to just have tea. It was a peaceful experience.
