The food presentation and the food server were excellent. Way better than Carlino. Even your Front Guest Services Staff was so gracious. I lived around the area for a while that I didn't realize it is more than a Cafe, it is a great place for people to hang out and reconnect. Thank you for the great experience. Keep it up.

Overall, the food were poorly made. We ordered 3 dishes, classic benedict, steak hash, & Thai tea french toast. The eggs on the classic benedict were pretty cooked. The egg yolks were hardened. The potatoes in the steak hash were soaky. At last but not least, the bottom of the french toast was burnt. Very disappointed.

I had the chicken katsu omurice. It’s not quite what I expect. I thought it’s a dish with soft egg yolk that flows out & cover the rice when you cut into it. However, the taste is not bad.

Booked in for the special Mother’s Day tea. I got there later than my friend who had already started her afternoon tea set, and I noticed that it was not the same tier as displayed on a banner in front of the cafe entrance! The picture looked way better, with different deserts and sandwiches. So I opted for the regular menu instead, and very much enjoyed the fried chicken and biscuits. But I did go for the intention of having the Mother’s Day tea but after hearing one of my friends sandwich was dry, I thought at $75 maybe I’ll opt out. I tried her scone and it tasted more like a muffin not a scone. I also tried some of her mulberry or some sort of berry macaron, and it tasted odd like almost stale maybe it was not refrigerated. She had told our friendly server about the dry sandwich and he said it’s made the day or night before. Also had to flag servers down for coffee refills, and the bill. And he seemed confused what I meant by separate bills for the three of us. It does seem to operate as a cafe, not a restaurant, I mean cafe is in the name but the price tags are of a restaurant that would offer proper afternoon tea service. I would skip this place for high tea and spend that same amount at the notch8 tea room or even 5sails.
