The hostess who greeted us was very friendly. Our server was very courteous and professional. Our meal was delicious, and the cost was not too high. Due to the holiday, the restaurant was not crowded at all. The ambiance was excellent—a very romantic spot for a date night. I would definitely eat here again if we are in town.

As a avid high tea goer this was great. The scones were perfect and along with the smoked salmon! The service was great as well. I wish there was a little more variety of tea though. I will be going back next time I am in town.
