- JFJoan FalleiroFeb 24, 20265.0I would say this is one of the best teas I’ve been to. Excellent food choices with flavor (minus the too sweet taco pastry). Good amount of food & beautiful presentation. The downside was the actual tea was ok in flavor. It would have been good to have it in a pot to steep. We loved the matcha.
- GYGeorge YiuFeb 16, 20265.0$75pp (+20% service) afternoon tea - Good selection of teas from Art of Tea, tasty set of food, and great attentive service. Only drawback is the space is effectively in the lobby, so the vibes are pretty casual. Convenient, free self-parking.
- VCVivien ChernJul 27, 20234.0The happiness and harmony teas were very aromatic and tasty. The afternoon tea selection was good as well but I wish the portions were bigger. The setting was part of the hotel lobby but it was nice and relaxing to dine and chat!
