We had the most incredible experience! Our server Kazi was incredibly attentive and played a large part in making our tea time feel special. The tea was fantastic (we tried the mint, lavender, and fruit infusion) as well as the desserts and sandwiches. On top of that, the architecture of the room is breathtaking. I can’t wait to return!

Food was incredible. might be the best thai we’ve had in the city - beef pad see ew, eggplant, and duck curry were highlights. (Not a place for a long dinner - food comes quickly, which is great, but while staff are very nice about it, they want to get you in and out and under an hour)

We had a great lunch today. The lentil soup and special eggplant part sandwich was excellent. Our reservation was at 1 pm and it was full up and noisy when we first sat down. By the time we were finished the place had cleared out. Declan and Maddie, our servers, were on top of it - polite, timely and friendly. Great meal in a busy place - be sure to make reservations.
