I enjoyed high tea here a few years ago and was keen to come back with my partner. The interior is beautiful and I love the attention to detail. There is a wide selection of tea to choose from and I enjoyed the Mumbai chai. I was surprised to see our teapot arrived with no tea bag or tea leaves inside. I don't order tea often but when I do, the tea is left to brew which is great for those of us who enjoy a stronger cup of tea.
I ordered the vegetarian high tea and my partner had the standard. There was little difference between the two. His arrived with one chicken sandwich and my alternative was a tofu sandwich which unfortunately I didn't enjoy. The sweets were good but again, for the most part, my partner and I did not enjoy them. I appreciate that this is about individual taste rather than the actual quality of the sweets. It is not possible to order anything else from the menu on the weekend other than high tea.
The website lists a spring and a summer high tea amongst others. When our bill arrived, I was under the impression, given that we are still in spring, we would be charged for the spring high tea however this was not the case. When I asked, I was informed that the spring high tea menu ended on mother's day and that they are on the summer high tea menu. This surprised me as we are still very much in spring.
Over the years I've tried several different high tea options both here in Canada and overseas and unfortunately this high tea wasn't as enjoyable as I had hoped.

My friend recommended this place and I'm so glad that she did. My partner and I were here last Saturday and we agreed that it was fabulous. The exterior is rather misleading as it looks like an office but then you open the door and you're inside the bar. I was worried that they wouldn't have a table for us but thankfully they did. It is a small bar so ideal for a date or an intimate conversation with friends. It wasn't too loud and the interior deco was beautiful. We each ordered a wine but they have several cocktail options. I understand that they don't take reservations but it would be great if they did. That said, I do recommend this place.
My boyfriend and I came here for dinner last night and it was lovely. He ordered the Italian sausage pasta and I had a margarita pizza, so yummy. We also had a salad to start with. The atmosphere is beautiful and the service was great. Food perhaps a little pricey but really yummy so for some it's worth it. I have no doubt I will be back here soon.
Disappointing and very little art. I spent less than 20 minutes at this gallery and honestly think I could have skipped it. There were 2 exhibits and I can't say I was impressed with either.
