i went for afternoon tea. the savory food was amazing. there was a wide tea selection, and i enjoyed it. staff constantly checked if we wanted refills. the waiters packed leftovers into to-go boxes.

the afternoon tea was very expensive. i felt there was little value for money. it's disappointing when high prices do NOT match the overall experience or offerings.
