    This restaurant is just gorgeous. The food is great and there is a wonderful, glamorous, grown up vibe. It could not be better for a pre-Carnegie Hall dinner (or any other type for that matter.) I would highly recommend this sumptuous confection of a restaurant- the service is impeccable and the atmosphere is very relaxed and deeply sophisticated.

    Warm hospitality and thoughtful prep for my gluten-free needs. It’s the priciest afternoon tea around but the food and service was excellent. The muffin was really crumbly and fell apart on contact but flavorful. The lemon curd is the bomb! Wonderful!

    Four of us visited Lady Mendl's for tea while on a girls' theater trip. Our experience was delightful, from the minute we arrived. Our train heading to NYC had been delayed and we did not have time to drop off our bags at our hotel before heading to our reservation. The hostess was extremely accommodating and understanding about storing our bags for us. The experience was positively wonderful - the teas were all delicious. We started with potato and leek soup that was outstanding. The variety and quality of the tea sandwiches was top notch, the scones were beyond delicious, and the desserts were excellent. The server was efficient and very knowledgeable about everything she served, and made us feel at home. This was truly a two hour delight!
