Our high tea experience was amazing. We were celebrating my mothers 89th birthday and my daughter was coming from away as a surprise. The floor manager and waiter were wonderful in helping pull off the surprise which was so lovely. The food and tea and ambiance was wonderful and the service was beyond amazing. Even my 90 year old father enjoyed himself more than he thought he would. Can’t say enough about the whole experience
