    In a lovely area of the hotel but we were placed at a coffee table set up - not a real table which made eating and drinking difficult as you were bent over reaching down and trying to pour your tea and eat the sandwiches. They then seemingly forgot us, we had to flag someone down to ask for more tea and when we finally flagged someone down to get the desserts they realized we didn’t get any scone service. I then had to ask twice for the bill just so we could get out as it appeared they forgot us again. They nicely took some off the bill but didn’t make the special afternoon tea date worth it.

    I often frequent Caffe Concerto for a sweet treat, as they are reliable in terms of their desserts and service. This one has a really beautiful interior. I had the Apple Crumble Frangipane and the Honey Vanilla Latte. The frangipane was baked well and melt in the mouth. If I had to be picky, the custard could have been warmer, but I will ask for that next time. The service was as good as always.
