Went here for afternoon tea with friends. It's definitely a bit pricey, so not like a regular sort of thing (although I imagine it's common for some people in this neighborhood), but a perfect choice for doing with special friends. We had two of our kids along (ages 7 and 14) and even they enjoyed it. The tea selection was amazing - they have a lot of special teas that you aren't going to find at the Bean and Leaf or Pete's - I'm not even going to try to spell the one I got but it was amazing - everyone enjoyed theirs. The platter of food looked small for six people but it was very filling and the refilled it once, so we all left stuffed, and we didn't even finish everything. It's very high class, and the appointments were all first rate; despite that, the staff were all super nice and very affable, and even accommodating to the requests of our seven year old (like more of the cocktail pickles). I thought this would be a do it once in a lifetime and check it off the list type activity, but it was so great, I'm sure we'll be back.
