                  Our food was excellent. Two of us had the beef strip loin and the other person had the salmon. We shared the carrot salad and the beet salad. Both were excellent! Our server was very good, but both he and the other server in the room looked to be run off their feet. (I think that many patrons were leaving at the same time to attend a concert across the street.) Overall, we had a great experience even though it was a little rushed at the end so we could get to our concert on time.

                  Great experience, excellent service. We ordered crab cakes and Caesar salad to start and strip loin as the main entree. Presentation and taste was excellent. Would definitely recommend and would go back.

                  Paid $75. per person for a High Tea. The server was wonderful… the manager? Horrible! We were the only ones in the restaurant… and I got a text, JUST AS WE SAT DOWN, for our 4pm reservation, that the restaurant had a private party planned at 6:30pm and “we had to leave by 6 pm.” First, that put an unnecessary need to rush in our minds Second, I should have been notified of the party at least a day BEFORE our reservation, so we could have decided if we would feel rushed and declined to come. Third, I’ve had High Teas in England and this tea was average at best and waaay overpriced! I loved the server, who was very helpful and tried to make us feel welcome, inspite of that man who admitted to sending me the text/email. We finished our tea by 5:30pm, but the person who sent me that text/email ruined our lovely 40th Birthday celebration that I had especially planned for my daughters and I. There was also no acknowledgement by the restaurant of our celebration, although I had written about it in the reservation information. Too busy worrying about the private party after us, I assume. And the fact I paid over $300. with a good tip for the helpful server, just made me feel worse.
