    Fantastic food, service, and atmosphere! Loved it. Only complaint is that the a/c was out and it was very hot inside. Highly recommend!

    Très belle expérience pour célébrer la fête des mères . Seul bémol, l’accessibilité pour se rendre au 2e étage (escaliers uniquement donc plus compliqué pour les gens à mobilité réduite ).

    Belle ambiance salon de thé avec les plateaux, la vaisselle fine et un beau choix de thé. Le service était rapide. Comme source d’amélioration, vous pourriez proposer quelques plats supplémentaires. Nous avons beaucoup aimé notre expérience, je recommande ce lieu

    Had the savoury tea for two. Absolutely delicious as usual. About an hour’s time for the food to be served, which is okay, since the point is to discuss. They mentioned the last time I was there I needed a reservation to be able to choose a spot. I reserved and messaged a week in advance to make sure I would get the table I wanted, and until the day of, they did not communicate (by opentable, and there is no phone number), nor could they accommodate my request once I arrived, due to a ‘bug in the system’. So, all in all, a wonderful place as long as you’re not picky about your spot.
