I’d tried to visit with a friend, but there were no tables available so we moved on. After seeing the food, though, I knew I needed to go back and at least get takeaway. I’m so glad I did, because the spinach and feta pastry and the brownie I got were INCREDIBLE! The pastry was so flaky and flavourful, and the brownie was so dense and chocolatey. I’m just disappointed I didn’t try it until the final day of my trip! I’ll definitely return on my next trip!

The Palm Court’s afternoon tea was an incredible experience! I have never received such high-quality service in my life. The attentive staff and live harp music made the afternoon feel so elegant. The tea selection was massive - when my friend asked for the whole list, they provided a book with over 50 different teas listed inside. The food was delicious and flavourful, and I wasn’t expecting to feel so full afterwards! They kindly boxed my desserts for me and even provided us with tins of tea to take home! They also have the most beautiful bathroom I’ve ever seen. The price is so worth it!

The customer service was totally fine, but the shrimp sushi bowl was not good. It was the deal of the day at just over $10, which is a great price, but the quality was lacking. The shrimp were butterflied, but there was oddly hardly any meat - they were bizarrely thin. There were some clumps of hard rice, and heaps of ginger which I was not expecting. The sauce also had a heavy ginger flavour. I can’t speak to the rest of the menu, but I really didn’t enjoy the shrimp sushi bowl and was disappointed with it.
