    We had a great afternoon tea. The staff introduced what we were having when he brought us the food. The scones were amazing. Buttery and perfect match with the jam and clotted cream. The cheesecake was the best among all the homemade cakes. But the sandwiches did not amaze us. It tasted quite ordinary. The house blend tea is great, not too bitter and rich in tea flavor. Really good atmosphere. We had a really full afternoon tea here. Very good in price as well.

    Quick stop for late dinner. There's German food 😋 I miss this kind of schnitzel. Was so delicious and the wait staff were prompt, polite and helpful. I didn't have a reservation but there was availability. They had a few specials, I did get the Strawberries and cream and an espresso. So good.

    Such a classy restaurant. Perfect vibes, really attentive waiters. Food was amazing and worth every penny. I had oysters and they were fresh and juicy. They even offer suggestions and give a specials menu that has a great selection. Overall, 10/10 experience and I would 100% visit again. Cocktails were exquisite and meal was delicious.
