Very pretty and intimate setting . Love the egg salad sandwich and banana bread . This might sound weird, but eat it with lemon curd and clotted cream . Nice place for afternoon tea in overall.

Claire Watkiss

Definitely worth the experience. Got to choose our own tea blend and a few pastries . Waiter was so sweet and even took a picture of us at the end! Love the space, so historic and unique.

You can’t sit among the sparkling fountain and oversized flower arrangements, slowly sipping your perfectly shaken martini , without thinking that your mom was right all along: You are special.

The blue peacock tea is great if you want something rich but not too spicy . Mild enough to drink with milk and sugar but by itself is best.
