    Nice, but over priced. The tea was good, however, when I asked for more hot water, they threw some tea bags in the pot of a different flavor than what I had originally ordered, and never made it back to our table so I could get that fixed. The quantity of pastries with the tea was pretty sparce. Another table (of 4) had tray upon tray delivered to their table. We had to ask for more pastries, and got a very curious response; she asked us what we wanted, instead of getting the same treatment as other patrons and having more treats brought as needed. It put a damper on the experience. She brought out a few sandwiches and scones, and moved them from her tray to the one we had just emptied. Other than the multi-level tray, and dainty portions, everything was just average. No different than service at any neighborhood cafe. For nearly $20 a head, I expected something nice, and was disappointed. The atmosphere is stark, and the portions are small. If you are determined to go there, I recommend ordering from the menu, at $6-7 per person. You'll get more food, and the same service, for half the price of the afternoon tea.
